In the last 15 years Malaria has killed 60 times more people than AIDSThere still is no vaccine.The Fever Trail is a fascinating boat trip through the history of Malaria and those that have sought to cure it. It is a story of courage; of political machinations and personal bravery, of the New World against the Old.

Instead they battle on in laboratories and facilities desperate to find what has eluded mankind for centuries. A cure.
