World Malaria Day 2020
Today NIAID marks World Malaria Day, acknowledging the profound impact of this ancient, mosquito-borne parasitic disease, which in 2018 sickened 228 million people and killed approximately 405,000 worldwide. The World Malaria Day theme, “Zero malaria starts with me,” encourages governments, academic institutions, philanthropies, and others to prioritize research, mobilize resources, and empower communities affected by malaria. The NIAID Now blog features recent advances that illustrate how the Institute is working to reach “zero malaria”.
