Malaria existence during dry seasons

The mosquitoes that transmit malaria in Africa have short and merry lives. To maintain their populations they must lay eggs in water, in which their larvae then grow and pupate. In theory, malarial mosquitoes should die out entirely during dry spells that go on for months, for their eggs are insufficiently drought-resistant to last that long. Do you think the world can take advantage of dry seasons to eliminate Malaria ?
