Methods to wipe out Malaria?

[Thundercraft]

Diseases are a serious threat. Open wounds will get infected. Flu and plague can appear anywhere, and tropical rainforest areas are rife with malaria and sleeping sickness.

I'd like to suggest that the game provide some way to either obtain or research a method of wiping out malaria on a given planet or colony location. Perhaps your colony could trade for a rare device or breed of malaria-resistant mosquitoes? For game balance, perhaps it only appears late in a game? Or maybe it should be prohibitively expensive?

I suggest this because, in some cases, science fact is beginning to overlap with science fiction. Indeed, if researchers are correct and things go as planned, malaria may be practically wiped out in a few short years.

Check out this topic over on the Dwarf Fortress community. It's not just theory or conjecture. This is real.

A new genetically engineered breed of Mosquitoes has the potential to wipe out the genes of the existing mosquitoes, and as designed, end the spread of Malaria through Mosquitoes.

It took twenty years to engineer a mosquito that doesn't transmit Malaria. It then took only four years to engineer a Mosquito with this gene drive.
