Eliminating malaria, the mosquito-borne scourge that kills more than 800,000 people a year, would be a dream come true for many, but in a report published in the Lancet Friday Oct. 29, 2010, experts say the dream remains just that: out of reach and completely unrealistic. Though research suggests wiping out the parasitic disease may be feasible in Latin America and Asia, it will be nearly impossible in Africa, where most of the world's estimated 247 million yearly cases occur.

    Extractions: April 2010 In 2008, there were 247 million cases of malaria and nearly one million deaths – mostly among children living in Africa. In Africa a child dies every 45 seconds of Malaria, the disease accounts for 20% of all childhood deaths. Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites. The parasites are spread to people through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes, called "malaria vectors", which bite mainly between dusk and dawn.

In the last major malaria epidemic in 2003, there were up to 16 million cases of malaria - 6 million more than an average year.

    Journey undertaken in 2008 to rally political support for the fight against malaria and demonstrate the need for coordinated cross-border action in Angola, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique.

    Extractions: photographs by Ron Haviv - VII The Zambezi, lifeline of southern Africa, has been the setting of an unprecedented health project. For more than two months, from March through May 2008, the Roll Back Malaria Zambezi Expedition has travelled almost 3,000 kilometres from the source to the delta to showcase successes and highlight challenges associated with the fight against one of the globe's leading infectious killers. Despite both preventable and curable, between one and three million people die of malaria each year - every 30 seconds a child in Africa. The Zambezi Expedition had set out to rally political support for the fight against malaria and demonstrate the need for coordinated cross-border action. Navigating through Angola, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, the expedition stopped along the shores of each country to take on board local malaria control staff, document the malaria situation in remote river communities and hand out insecticide treated nets and malaria medicines. Journalists from around the world travelled with the team, being able to document the situation and advocate for more action in the fight against the disease.

Each year, an estimated 300 to 500 million cases occur, and more than 1 million people die of the disease annually. Although malaria can be a fatal disease, in many cases, death can be prevented with proper and prompt treatment. The cause of malaria is an infection with a parasite.

    Extractions: This article is from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica. Medical science has made many leaps forward since it has been written. This is not a site for medical advice, when you need information on a medical condition, consult a professional instead. MALARIA, an Italian colloquial word (from mala, bad, and aria air ), introduced into English medical literature by Macculloch (1827) as a substitute for the more restricted terms " marsh miasm" or "paludal poison ." It is generally applied to the definite unhealthy condition of body known by a variety of names, such as ague , intermittent (and remittent) fever , marsh fever, jungle fever, hill fever, "fever of the country" and "fever and ague." A single paroxysm of simple ague may come upon the patient in the midst of good health or it may be preceded by some malaise. The ague-fit begins with chills proceeding as if from the lower part of the back, and gradually extending until the coldness overtakes the whole body. Tremors of the muscles more or less violent accompany the cold sensations, beginning with the muscles of the lower jaw (chattering of the teeth), and extending to the extremities and

    Extractions: London WC1E 7HT Director: Prof Peter Chiodini Image: Plasmodium falciparum in a thin blood film The Malaria Reference Laboratory provides an integrated service for public health in relation to malaria. It combines reference and diagnostic parasitology of malaria with surveillance of all imported malaria reported in the United Kingdom (UK), analysing the results and using these, together with wide consultation to develop national policy on prevention of imported malaria, which it then disseminates widely. The advisory activities interpret policy for particular individual needs, especially through the health service. Policy is moved into implementation by the laboratory staff writing for various medical, pharmaceutical and lay audiences, briefing the media, contributing to continuing medical education for doctors and practice nurses, and responding to telephone queries from them and from the public. These laboratory functions are supported in the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) by a programme of basic research in the UK and of applied research and development in endemic countries and on a smaller scale in the UK, and they are linked to an advisory service on international malaria control.

Some agents are used for more than one application. It is therefore more practical to group antimalarials by chemical structure since this is associated with important properties of each drug, such as mechanism of action. Prompt parasitological confirmation by microscopy or alternatively by RDTs is recommended in all patients suspected of malaria before treatment is started.

    Extractions: Home Malaria Malaria is a vector-borne infectious disease that is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions, including parts of the Americas, Asia, and Africa. It causes disease in approximately 400 million people every year and kills between one and three million people every year, mostly young children in Sub-Saharan Africa. Malaria is commonly-associated with poverty, but is also a cause of poverty and a major hindrance to economic development. Review Articles News Editorial Opinions Research Articles ... Reports 2 Jun 2010 When interventions are planned, insufficient thought is given as to whether the poorest and most vulnerable members of society will benefit, according to the findings of a new review of the evidence. The reviewers call for more research to assess which infectious disease programmes benefit the poor and to identify the mechanisms that determine “pro-poor effectiveness”.

    Extractions: What we do �Reversing the spread of malaria is crucial for the survival, health and development of children, especially in Africa. Reducing the incidence of malaria will help achieve the Millennium Development Goals.� Ann Veneman at White House Summit on Malaria, December 2006 A woman nurse demonstrates how to impregnate a mosquito net with insecticide for malaria prevention, Rwanda. Malaria kills a child somewhere in the world every 30 seconds. It infects 350-500 million people each year, killing 1 million, mostly children in Africa. Ninety per cent of malaria deaths occur in Africa, where malaria accounts for about one in five of all childhood deaths. The disease also contributes greatly to anaemia among children � a major cause of poor growth and development. Malaria infection during pregnancy is associated with severe anaemia and other illness in the mother and contributes to low birth weight among newborn infants � one of the leading risk factors for infant mortality and sub-optimal growth and development. Malaria has serious economic impacts in Africa, slowing economic growth and development and perpetuating the vicious cycle of poverty. Malaria is truly a disease of poverty � afflicting primarily the poor who tend to live in malaria-prone rural areas in poorly-constructed dwellings that offer few, if any, barriers against mosquitoes.

    http://www.un.org/Pubs/CyberSchoolBus/special/health/disease/malaria.htm
    
    Extractions: Parasites are transmitted from one person to another by the female anopheline mosquito. The males do not transmit the disease as they feed only on plant juices. The parasites develop in the gut of the mosquito and are passed on in the saliva of an infective mosquito each time it takes a new blood meal. The parasites are then carried by the blood in the victim's liver where they invade the cells and multiply. The spread of the disease is linked with activities like road building, mining, logging and new agricultural and irrigation projects, particularly in "frontier" areas like the Amazon. Elsewhere, disintegration of health services, armed conflicts and mass movements of refugees worsen the malaria situation.
