520			_a"Malaria killed untold numbers in this country [United States] until the second half of the 20th century, but today it is almost completely under control....American mosquitoes didn't evolve to carry the malaria parasite, and they aren't very efficient at it. In Africa, they are the perfect hosts; the hot African climate also accelerates the progress of the disease. Americans never faced a threat close to the one in Africa. Nonetheless, a look at successful efforts in the United States does bring up at least one applicable truth: Malaria and poverty go together." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article, the sixth in a series, reviews malaria outbreaks in the United States and argues that "the economic policy of the New Deal" and "the nation's growing prosperity after World War II" had a significant impact in the fight against malaria in America.
