Malaria kills more than a million people every year. Experts
say there is a greater hope of beating the disease now than
ever before - but we'll have to step up efforts to break its
back. We need more money, more tools, an effective vaccine,
better, cheaper drugs, and strategies that are based on local
knowledge and run with local participation. Here Nature
