Some of the worst Malaria outbreaks in history have been in areas that freeze in the winter. The mosquito isn’t limited to the tropics. It is just that Northern Hemisphere countries eradicated them using DDT, and left the poor tropical countries to live with Bill Gates’ mosquito nets.

There is good evidence that Malaria was an inport from Africa to the New World. The native populations, especially central and south America, were devestated by the introduction of Malaria.
