Suppose production of the pesticides used to treat malaria is halted because the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found that they are causing too much environmental damage to warrant continued use. In turn, this drives up the prices of artemisinin and quinine since they are now in higher demand. How might this affect those that live in South America and Africa?

Explanation:
Pesticides are an effective means for the control of mosquitoes and therefore the prevention of malaria. They are present in the form of sprays, liquids and powders. These pesticides are being used around the house, sprayed in the grasses and bushes and in stagnant water to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes.
The halt on the production of pesticides as a result of environmental concerns has resulted in the prevalence and increased cases of malaria in South America and Africa. This in turn gives rise to the increased demand of available medications ; Artemisinin and quinine being the popular ones available. As a resultof this high demand, supply is limited and prices soar.
This is a concern because this leads to the inability of the people of these regions to get treatment because majority of them are poor and cannot afford these expensive medications. Therefore cases of malaria and malaria-related mortality increase especially in pregnant women and under fives.
Ответ:
They may experience an increase in malaria cases due to hike in the prices of drugs for the cure of malaria. South America and Africa are impoverished with poverty .Therefore affordably of the expensive malaria drug will be hard for them, thus leading to the prevalence of the infections, and rapid spread of the protozoan in the population. Besides the fact that pesticide use has been discontinue, will aid rapid breeding of female anopheles and therefore increases the rate of transmission further increasing malaria cases.
Infant morality rate will rise, adult productivity will drop especially in Africa where the poverty level is of higher level compare to Latin America.

I believe this is true. The nervous system is used to help us respond to stimuli in our environment. Without it, we wouldn't have reflexes and therefore there would be no need for a brain.
