For thousands of years people were warned about the dangers of breathing in the "bad" air found near swamps and waterways. Those who did not heed the warnings often became seriously ill, developing chills and fever, weakness and even death. This disease came to be known as Malaria (from the bad (mal) air). In the United States this disease has been eliminated but is still wide spread throughout the tropics and much of the temperate zone. This set introduces students to the life of cycle of this disease which it has been estimated, affects over 250 million people at any given moment.
