Well....in my country (specifially, where I live and points east and 
north east for over 1000 miles and points south to the border.) we 
used to have Malaria and could again. We also had Yellow Fever and 
currently have various types of Enchephelitis and West Nile Virus.
Growing up here we constantly worried over Sleeping Sickness. It was a 
real threat.

 My point is that the US cannot be included in your list of "rich, 
non-malarial countries".
Indeed, we have a vested interest.
