      A finales de la década de 1960 Vietnam pidió ayuda a la china comunista de Mao. La causa no era tanto la guerra contra EE UU como una variante de la malaria que estaba arrasando a la población, pues el parásito se había vuelto inmune a los tratamientos convencionales basados en cloroquina o quinina.
