Actually, before we used debt to force African farmers to switch from 
subsistence farming to growing luxury products for the developed world, 
the existing slash and burn that formed part of their agricultural 
system did wonders for eliminating mosquito breeding grounds and thus

Of course, killing people with cumulative DDT poisoning would obviously 
be preferable to watching them die from malaria! :-)
