Read the passages below and answer the question that follows.

Malaria, a disease spread by mosquitoes, infects about 300 million people a year and causes about 1 million deaths a year. Children are most vulnerable to the disease, whereas most adults rebound fairly quickly.

Many NGOs work to disseminate mosquito nets in sub-Saharan Africa in an effort to reduce the incidence of malaria, but results have been limited.
