每年有约一百万人死于蚊虫叮咬所引发的疾病

HEALTH WATCH: According to the World Health Organization, about 3.3 billion people are at risk of malaria and a million people die from the mosquito-borne disease each year. Global eradication of malaria is expected to take decades and researchers worry that focusing on eradicating the disease when that goal is too far off could actually be counterproductive, as it could lead to dangerous swings in funding and political commitment that would jeopardize efforts to control it. Instead, they say, some countries may be better off pursuing a policy of controlling malaria rather than eliminating it.
