The cast of TV hit Ugly Betty is teaming up with the United Nations to shed light on a campaign to stop the spread of malaria in Africa.

The show became the first comedy shot inside the U.N.'s New York City headquarters, when the cast lined up for a special malaria-themed episode, which will kick off the new season of Ugly Betty this month.

The episode will feature the U.N.'s Nothing But Nets initiative, and reveal the role mosquito nets play in preventing the disease - a major killer of children in Africa.
