Analysis of Text “Malaria”
1. A topic : Malaria
2. A main idea : Each year, over half a billion people will become infected with malaria,
with roughly 80% of them living in Sub-Saharan Africa
3. Sequence :
 Each year, over half a billion people will become infected with malaria, with
roughly 80% of them living in Sub-Saharan Africa.
 While there have been many programs designed to improve access to malaria
treatment, the best way to reduce the impact of malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa is
to focus on reducing the number of people who contract the disease in the first
place, rather than waiting to treat the disease after the person is already infected
 Started in 1955, it had a goal of eliminating malaria in Africa within the next ten
years. Based upon previously successful programs in Brazil and the United States,
the program focused mainly on vector control.
 while the person is sleeping, so bed nets would be able to drastically reduce the
number of transmissions during the night. In fact, transmission of malaria can be
reduced by as much as 90% in areas where the use of ITNs is widespread.
 Nearly half a million people die of malaria every year, most of them young
children under the age of five.
 While untreated bed nets are still helpful, those treated with insecticides are much
more useful because they stop mosquitoes from biting people through the nets,
and they help reduce mosquito populations in a community, thus helping people
who don’t even own bed nets
4. Comparison /Contrast
-Similarities :
 The number of people in Sub-Saharan Africa who contracted malaria as well as
the number of malaria deaths had actually increased over 10% during the time the
program was active.
 Transmission of malaria can be reduced by as much as 90% in areas where the
use of ITNs is widespread
 Reducing the number of people who contract malaria would also reduce poverty
levels in Africa significantly
 thus improving other aspects of society like education levels and the economy
 the working population is stronger as a whole because people are not put out of
work from malaria
 not including the loss of work they also must deal with due to the illness
-Differences :
 Unlike many other infectious diseases, the death toll for malaria is rising.
 While there have been many programs designed to improve access to malaria
treatment
 However, the program suffered from many problems and in 1969, WHO was
forced to admit that the program had not succeeded in eradicating malaria
 While untreated bed nets are still helpful, those treated with insecticides are much
more useful because they stop mosquitoes from biting people through the nets,
and they help reduce mosquito populations in a community, thus helping people
who don’t even own bed nets
 while the person is sleeping, so bed nets would be able to drastically reduce the
number of transmissions during the night
5. Cause and effect
 Because chloroquine was used widely but inconsistently, mosquitoes developed
resistance, and chloroquine is now nearly completely ineffective in Sub-Saharan
Africa, with over 95% of mosquitoes resistant to it.
 As a result, newer, more expensive drugs need to be used to prevent and treat
malaria, which further drives up the cost of malaria treatment for a region that can
ill afford it
 Because money is so scarce in SubSaharan Africa, the low cost is a great benefit
and a major reason why the program is so successful
 because people are not put out of work from malaria, fewer people get sick, the
working population is stronger
6. Problem and Solve
 Problem : Each year, over half a billion people will become infected with malaria,
with roughly 80% of them living in Sub-Saharan Africa., Solve : There are
multiple drugs available to treat malaria, and many of them work well and save
lives
7. Extended Definition
 Malaria is an infectious disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to people
through female Anopheles mosquitoes
