Summary:
"Mosquitoes are often considered the deadliest animals on Earth, mostly because they spread malaria. Without treatment, malaria can be fatal. Using things such as mosquito nets and insecticides, people are fighting malaria by fighting the bugs that spread it. Malaria explores the history and science behind this disease, as well as how it's treated. Easy-to-read text, vivid images, and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject."-- Provided by publisher.
