* Denizens of tropical countries like people of Latin and African origin are often carriers.  Because of the increased prevalence of malaria in these groups and lax [[illegal immigration|immigration]] the [[health]] of [[Americans]] is being put at risk<ref>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19412737</ref><ref>http://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/guidelines/domestic/malaria-guidelines-domestic.html</ref>. Due to [[socialized medicine]] these immigrants also pose a threat to our fiscal health.

One very effective way to fight malaria is by using an [[insecticide]] called [[DDT]]. <ref>"Sprayed just once or twice a year on the walls of houses, this powerful repellent keeps most mosquitoes from entering; irritates those that do come in, so they don't bite; and kills any that land."

Unfortunately for sub-Saharan Africans and some Asians, the U.S. ban on DDT has made this cheap (though [[teratogenic]]) chemical<ref>[http://extoxnet.orst.edu/pips/ddt.htm Toxicology Network]</ref> very difficult to obtain. This helped lead to a renewed [[malaria epidemic]], and more than one million people die of malaria every year.

The [[deforestation]] of the [[Amazon basin]] may also deliver disease.  The culverts along new roads will provide [[spawn|spawning]] grounds for [[mosquitoes]], and allow visitors to bring malaria to isolated areas.<ref>[http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=19276850 New roads in the Amazon may also deliver disease]</ref>
