Kabale, which rarely experienced malaria in the past, has been hit badly. In such places where there has traditionally been no malaria, people suffer more when there is a malaria invasion. Children are hit worst of all. There are treated mosquito nets that are on the market, but people have not yet developed a culture of using them. The government has cut taxes on these nets to make them affordable, but people still need to be encouraged to use them.
Malaria is spread from dusk to dawn, when the mosquitoes are active.
