Worldwide malaria deaths may be almost twice as high as previously estimated, a new study reports. The new research suggests 1.24 million people died from the mosquito-borne disease in 2010. This compares to a World Health Organisation (WHO) estimate for 2010 of 655,000 deaths. But both the new study and the WHO indicate global death rates are now falling. [Source: BBC News]
