If anyone is interested in reading about malaria in the United States, this book seems like an interesting read Here it is!: . I've also done a *minimal* amount of research on Malaria in the States today, and apparently 1,200 cases have been diagnosed, mainly imported cases, but there are a handful of non-imported cases that were the result of an second-hand imported case...i.e. thanks to those jerk-face mosquitoes, malaria was spread from someone who had been traveling to someone who had not been traveling.
Huh.
Thoughts on malaria in the United States? I know it used to be an issue a long while ago in the good ol' US of A, and there are some online articles that suggest we may be poised for a resurgence of malaria due to malaria being spread from imported cases as well as the increased resistance that mosquitoes have to insecticides, as well as increased resistance of malaria to malaria treatments.
