New tool to predict epidemics of malaria (3)
--------------------------------------------

Tampa also does not have Anopheles gambiae. True, if African
communities had Tampa's wealth then the malaria problem would be
significantly reduced. But Africa has always been at a severe
disadvantage in addressing its malaria burden because its vec-
tors are the most efficient in the world. Comparing the Americas
(especially Florida) to Africa is comparing apples and oranges.

I would like to learn more about this program in Monrovia. Is
the program already underway or still looking for donors? What
government agency is implementing the program?

Best,
