answer text <p>The Anopheles stephensi mosquito is a malarial mosquito species that thrives in cities and has been expanding in Africa. The World Health Organisation has estimated that the species could put an additional 126 million people at risk of malaria if it were to spread unchecked. The WHO has launched an initiative to research the spread of the strain and to protect against further spread. The UK recently pledged £1 billion to the seventh replenishment of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria. This investment will help to protect millions of people from malaria.</p> more like this
