There are two types of mosquitoes found to cause Malaria. There both native to Africa. There are genetic differences but are mostly the same. Over 200 million people are infected with malaria world wide. Majority of the 200 million are from Africa. A child in the world dies every 30 seconds because of Malaria.
If we can find the thing causing Malaria. We might be able to find a anti-virus and eventually find a cure. This comes from sub-Saharan Africa where these types of Mosquitoes mainly live. There also finding ways to control the population of these different types of mosquito's. I think this is great for our world including the 200 million infected with malaria already.
