Malaria is most common in tropical countries, especially those with wet and
humid climates, where the mosquitos which carry the disease can flourish.
However, recently, malaria has become more common in Canada.
According to a recent report, over 1000 people contracted the disease in
Canada in 1997, and the number has risen every year since 1994. This is
an alarming trend.

alarmed. He thought that she must have been bitten by a mosquito which
got the disease from another sick Canadian.
