Malaria Disease Transmission and Prevention 1944

This was clipped from the English version of the 1944 film, What is Disease? , from the United States Information Service. The film was produced by the Disney Corporation.
Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by a parasite. People with malaria often experience fever, chills, and flu-like illness. Left untreated, they may develop severe complications and die. Each year 350-500 million cases of malaria occur worldwide, and over one million people die, most of them young children in sub-Saharan Africa.
This sometimes fatal disease can be prevented and cured. Bednets, insecticides, and antimalarial drugs are effective tools to fight malaria in areas where it is transmitted. For more information, go to the World Health Organization's website at http://www.who.int/topics/malaria/en/
