Paragraph Test - Nineteen

Answer the questions according to the reading passages.

Malaria disease is still found in most tropical and subtropical parts of the world. It remains a major reason for illness and death among people living in these areas and is the chief threat to the health of visitors from non-malarious nations. The disease is carried by a parasite through the bite of certain species of mosquito. The lifecycle of the parasite is completed partly in the human host and partly In the mosquitoes. The control of malaria, hence, depends on either destroying mosquitoes or by the suppression of malaria in infected people. A great deal of progress was made along both these lines during the 1950s and 1960s, but since then increasing resistance of the mosquito to insecticides and of the parasite to the drugs for treatment and prevention the disease has retarded progress.
