　　To address the disease, the national distribution of mosquito nets has started in C?te d'Ivoire, which is among the countries hardest-hit by malaria in the world.

　　Louis Vigneault-Dubois, spokesperson for UNICEF in C?te d'Ivoire, says the country is trying to catch up in its fight against Malaria.

　　"I think that the post-electoral crisis slowed down all development of public health. But I think that with this universal cover the mosquito nets we have made a step forward and we now have the means to protect the population because we know that malaria remains² the illness that kills the most children in Ivory Coast."

　　Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites³ that are transmitted to people through the bites of infected mosquitoes.
