Prevention is better than cure, and it is recognised that the only way to get rid of malaria completely is to get rid of malaria completely is to get rid of the mosquitoes which cause it. Malaria is always associated with damp and marshy land. This is not because the land is dump, but because stagnant water is the breeding place of mosquito which  begins its life as a larva living in the water. Malaria does not frequently occur in dry desert countries because mosquitoes cannot breed there. The only way to destroy mosquitoes is to prevent their, breeding in stagnant water.
