| PHOTOGRAPH BY STEVE GSCHMEISSNER, SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY | | Wait, didn’t the United States, after decades of effort, eliminate malaria within its borders 70-some years ago? So Americans don’t have to worry about a disease that still infects hundreds of millions of people and kills 1 million annually?
