'''Malaria''' is a tropical [[disease]] spread by the [[mosquito]]. The best way to eradicate malaria is by using an [[insecticide]] called [[DDT]]. Unfortunately for sub-Saharan Africans and some Asians, the U.S. ban on DDT has made this cheap and safe chemical very difficult to obtain. This led to a renewed [[malaria epidemic]], and more than one million people die of malaria every year.
