Bringing an end to malaria
Do you know the deadliest animal in the world? Other humans? Snakes, spiders or even some of the large predators? No. It’s actually the mosquito. And out of all the many diseases that mosquitoes carry, malaria is possibly the biggest killer in human history.
In 2015 alone, the global death toll from malaria was a record 438,000. A child dies of malaria every two minutes, according to the World Health Organization. And each year, more than 200 million new cases of the disease are reported globally.
