Malaria can be beaten in many places, say researchers

Malaria kills one child every 30 seconds, yet in many parts of the world the disease is hanging on by a thread and could be wiped out by concerted action, researchers said on Tuesday.The research shows nearly half the 2,37-billion people at risk from the mosquito-borne killer live in areas where the chance of actually catching the disease is less than 0,01% a year.
