A global partnership has set its sights on nothing less than making malaria -- an implacable enemy that predates the human race -- nothing more than a bad memory. VECNet, the Vector Ecology and Control Network, aims to get there by combining and supporting the ingenuity of researchers, engineers, public health officials, national decision makers and funding agencies. The idea is to create a computer model that allows malaria-battling stakeholders to join efforts.
