A trial of this idea, spraying fungal spores on to bednets and house walls in Tanzania, is being set up at the moment.

A world that can put a man on the moon should be able to put more children under bednets.

Delivering interventions, like vaccines, medicines, condoms, bednets, and vitamins, clearly brings mortality down, sometimes very quickly.

We can help protect those children with, for example, vaccination, bednets, and family knowledge about safe water.
