Fighting malaria : a challenge for research
December 2009
Malaria, which is an infection caused by a parasite transmitted to man by mosquitoes, kills more than 1 million people every year. The disease is one of the most deadly on the planet, and threatens one third of humanity, essentially populations in tropical regions. Malaria is a major obstacle to development, and is a very real challenge for research.
This exhibition has been devised and produced with the support of the French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs.
