Have you ever had malaria? If you have, the chances are that you get the disease in a hot country. Malaria is most common in tropical countries, especially those with wet and humid climates, where the mosquitos which carry the disease can flourish. However, recently, malaria becomes more common in Canada. According to a recent report, over 1000 people contracted the disease in Canada in 1997, and the number have rised every year since 1994.

Why is the incidence of malaria rising here? The answer is travel. More and more Canadians travel abroad every year, and some of them catch malaria.
