Summary: No Americans cared about malaria. Why should they? They didn't get it. Americans didn't know or care about the West Nile virus before it showed up in America--but a dozen fatalities on good old American soil, and they were all but mobilizing the Air Force to spray for mosquitoes. Americans would not care about malaria until their own children woke screaming with the fever, until their own people started dying. Americans did not care about anything until it was a threat to themselves and their way of life. Well then . . . a threat could be arranged. Crooked pharmaceutical companies, a CIA plot gone horribly awry, a terrorist weapon that comes in a very small package, and a grief-stricken scientist determined to make America pay for its indifference to the suffering in Third World countries all combine to create the fast-paced thriller that is "The Mosquito War."
