The first of two special podcasts this week, as we shine the light on a disease all but forgotten in the West, malaria. More than half a billion people across the globe are sickened by malaria parasites each year. More than a million, mostly children, die from the disease each year. We have a look at how America eradicated malaria in the 1940s. Then, we go to Equatorial Guinea to hear about a similar, modern-day project. The World's Technology Podcast is sponsored by Ipswitch Incorporated, the leader in messaging, network management, and data management software for small and medium sized businesses around the globe.
