        If I were to wager, this has spread where it has because of global warming. I know malaria has been spotted in the US because it’s warm enough now.

          Malaria used to be endemic to the U.S. - that’s actually why the CDC is headquartered in Atlanta. The reason why malaria is back is because we’ve backslid on fighting mosquitoes.
