Why is there no malaria in the US?

Answer 1

1. malaria like most diseases occur from a lack of sanitary habits and technology to manage human waste, many countries such as those in Africa don't have much Plumbing to carry and sanitise human and animal waste and this leads to outbreaks and the spread of malaria.

2. The US has advanced medical treatment not found in most countries currently fighting with malaria. Hospitals are critical for treating diseases, many Americans that do visit countries get vaccinated so they don't bring it back. If a citizen does they and others they encounter many end up with malaria but are able to access medical treatment preventing outbreak.

Another answer: In the United States in the 1920s, the United States started an all out war against mosquitoes. It put screens in windows and on doors. It either got rid of rain barrels and cisterns or enclosed them. It put oil on swamps to kill the mosquitoes there. It build gullies and storm sewers to provide drainage to get rid of standing water to eliminate mosquito breeding areas. After World War 2, Airplanes became available and the United States used aerial spraying to get rid of mosquitoes not removed by other means. In addition, mosquito inspectors were hired to find standing water behind houses and businesses and any other places where it might be. People with malaria were treated so they would not spread it. It was not necessary to kill all mosquitoes. By greatly reducing their numbers, the United States eliminated Malaria and Yellow Fever.
