[JUST IN] Trouble sprung up after girl dies of malaria in Italy.

A four-year-old Italian girl has died from Malaria in the northern city of Brescia, possibly after being bitten by a mosquito, local health officials said on Monday. The girl had never been outside Italy, the officials said.

The gravely ill girl expired at the main hospital in Brescia in the Lombardy region on Sunday after she was rushed there from the city of Trento in the Trentino-Alto Adige region, according to officials.

The hospital in Brescia was disinfected after the child's death and Italy's health minister Beatrice Lorenzin has sent a team of experts to investigate the case. The girl may have been bitten by a mosquito that previously bit another person who had contracted the illness abroad.

There were 3,633 malaria cases reported in Italy between 2011 and 2015 among which only seven were people who had not caught the disease abroad, the Health Ministry said.

In two cases, people were bitten by mosquitoes that flew out of a plane which landed at Rome's airport while in a third case the person was bitten by a mosquito that had been trapped inside a wooden mask imported from Africa.

One of the songs that I had record...

AGRICULTURE......Agriculture the prominent mechanism for Africa Development.

Approximately two-thirds of sub-Saharan Africa’s population is dependent on agriculture and the sector is responsible for generating one-third of the continent’s GDP. With its vast arable land, Africa has the potential to not only feed its citizens but to export food to other regions of the world. It is therefore astonishing that Africa must import food and rely on food aid to feed its people. The majority of poor subsistence farmers lack the income to buy seeds, fertilizers and tools and the resources to set up even the simplest irrigation system. Development assistance for agriculture could help provide the resources and the technical expertise to move smallholder farmers out of poverty, but development assistance for agriculture has declined dramatically in the last two-decades.
