Malaria: General Knowledge

Malaria is a pretty big deal, and yet it doesn't get a lot of press nor attention in the United States. As part of my thesis, I need to poll a general population (this is where you come in) and get a sense for how knowledgable you may be in the area...

The purpose of this isn't to find out who's the smartest/embarass anyone--I just need anonymous results that can help provide data that will support my thesis! =) Have fun, thanks again.
