Malaria is coming. It already infects 200 million new patients each year and kills 1 million. With climate change it is moving into new regions of the world, and scientists predict it will become endemic in northern Australia for the first time in the foreseeable future. Sonia Shah takes us on a tour through the strange biology of the mosquito and the even stranger history of its relationship with humans over the ages.
