PANAMA-CANAL-100TH ANNIVERSARY-FILE
(FILES) This undated file photo shows a Panama Canal worker spraying insecticide in an open ditch in an effort to kill mosquitos carrying yellow fever and malaria. The mosquito was the major health problem that plagued both French and US efforts to build the canal. Next August 15 marks the 100th anniversary of the Panama Canal, considered to be one of the 20th century's marvels of engineering and through which goes five percent of the maritime world trade. Panama took control of the 80-km-long canal and the 1,426-square-km enclave that surrounds it at midnight on December 31, 1999 according to the 1977 handover treaty signed by then-presidents of the US, Jimmy Carter and Panama, Omar Torrijos.
