The World Health Organization says the disease "that plagued pharaohs" now belongs to Egypt's history.

In a statement on Sunday, the WHO praised “the Egyptian government and people” for their efforts to “end a disease that has been present in the country since ancient times”.

It said Egypt was the third country to be certified in the WHO’s Eastern Mediterranean Region, following the United Arab Emirates and Morocco.

    Anyone have a tl;dr (research) how did they achieve this goal?

    Is such a feat done by directly draining swamplands & overall lowering biodiversity until less mosquitoey or is there more like a directly malaria focused effort in the sense mosquitoes arent carrying it?
