Answer 2

Several decades ago, there was an attempt to eradicate malaria. These efforts centered around the use of the pesticide DDT. DDT was very effective at killing the mosquito that serves as a vector for the disease. With the mosquito killed off, malaria would have been virtually eliminated. While this was a good plan in theory, the mosquitos evolved and developed a resistance to DDT rendering the pesticide largely useless in eliminating the disease carrying insects. Malaria is still a problem, especially in developing countries where strains of the disease are developing resistance to the cheaper more easily availible treatments such as Chloroquine, and effective drugs are too expensive to be widely availible.
