Malaria Has Been Eliminated In Europe (qz.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Quartz reports that "Malaria cases in Europe have dropped from a peak of over 90,000 in 1995 to zero in 2015, according to the World Health Organization," who calls the "extraordinary but fragile" achievement a step towards eliminating malaria everywhere. Nine European countries had reported malaria cases, but agreed to focus their efforts on a full elimination of the mosquito-borne disease. "The WHO attributes success to improved surveillance systems, better mosquito control, and greater collaboration across borders," reports Quartz, noting it now provides a blueprint for other countries fighting the disease -- and a boost in morale.
The article lists Tajikistan as a European country, which makes it difficult to consider the article seriously.
that with global warming the malaria mosquito areal will move further to the north.
If developed countries like Australia and Singapore are malaria-free, I don't see how a warmer Europe should have a problem.
Yep, it's only the immigrants that transmit malaria as we all know. Some of those pro-science arseholes think it's something to do with mosquitos but as we know, they pay strict adherence to border controls so that is clearly bullshit.
