A population will have a high number of people who are carriers of the

sickle-cell trait due to the high prevalence of malaria.

Malaria is a disease which is spread by the vector known as Mosquito when

humans are bitten. Malaria is deadly and is effectively treated with the use of

resistant to malaria. This is why we have more sickle cell carriers in areas

with high malaria prevalence such as Africa than those with low prevalence.
