From the little I understand of the way malaria is transmitted, a big vector is mosquitoes which strive in areas where there is a lot of dirt and stagnant waters. Why can't we Africans be cleaner and make sure we protect our families by ensuring there is no stagnant water or dirt near where we live? Surely we can do this without governments asking us to do so can't we?!

Humans would have died out millenia ago if there were not a natural way to KILL Malaria. In South America many plants KILL malaria, such as; Vassourinha(Scoparia dulcis),Picao Preto(Bidens pilosa),Chanca Piedra(Phyllanthus niruri), Amargo(Quassia amara), Huacapu(Minquartia quianensis)and Amor Seco(Desmodium adscendens). Amargo is very impressive. Simply put some wood chips of this tree in any body of water - ponds,buckets,water resevoirs - and it KILLS mosquitos when they try to breed in water. Also, Amargo is VERY EFFECTIVE as an insecticide for farmers and their crops. Even try spraying this on pets and livestock to treat fleas,ticks and lice infestations. Many of these plants will, of course, grow in Africa.
I wish we could help more.............. Peace
