Yes. Malaria is a leading cause of death and disease worldwide, especially in developing countries. Most deaths occur in young children. For example, in Africa, a child dies from malaria every 30 seconds. Because malaria causes so much illness and death, the disease is a great drain on many national economies. Since many countries with malaria are already among the poorer nations, the disease maintains a vicious cycle of disease and poverty.

Malaria is worst than HIV, because one can avoid HIV but not malaria especially in African Countries, 80% of death in the developing world is caused by malaria, malaria parasite has become resistance to drugs being used especially chloroquine and some new drugs introduced in treating malaria is still on trail stage.

It takes time to be completely cured and is repeated often. It is a very serious disease because it's medicines are very strong and the disease can be in any part of body.

Is the sun hot?! Of course, although the main carriers of the disease( mosquitoes) do not need a warm climate, in fact the worst epidemic was in the USSR in 1924- 1 million diagnosed, 600,000 died.

Yes, it kills hundreds of thousands of people every year in Africa alone. Millions world wide every year. It is usually only fatal in third world countries, where they do not have access to medicines and vaccines.
