Today, April 25, 2008 marks the first World Malaria Day. Today highlights the roughly 1 million deaths that are attributed to malaria worldwide, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. Most of those deaths are young children, and even with vaccines to prevent malaria, it has not been eliminated.

Malaria also affects other parts of the globe, including Asia, Central and South America, and Oceania. For more information visit Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - CDC online
