English Arabic Chinese Health Introduction The big picture UNICEF in action How we work in health ... What we do Malaria “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.

The dreaded disease is difficult to eradicate and its control is possible ONLY with coordinated efforts of the general public, healthcare personnel and government agencies. And with global warming threatening to increase mosquito density and the spread of other mosquito borne infections like Dengue and Chikungunya, time has come for all of us to wake up.

3 October 2002 There are up to half a billion new cases of malaria every year. Here, Nature publishes the complete genome sequence of Plasmodium falciparum , the main cause of human malaria. This landmark achievement is accompanied by the complete sequence of Plasmodium yoelii , the infectious agent in rodent malaria, providing the malaria community with both a human pathogen and its animal model simultaneously. In addition to our other freely available genome sequences , the malaria special issue also contains state-of-the-art global genomic analysis of the primary sequence. This week also sees the publication in Science of the genome sequence of the malaria carrier, the mosquito Anopheles gambiae . The simultaneous publication of these two sets of papers provides insights that will accelerate vaccine and drug design, as well as intervention into malarial transmission. Nature's Plasmodium sequence papers are available free online in perpetuity, as with all our published genomes.

You can get it from a bite by an infected mosquito. Malaria is rare in the United States. It is most often found in Africa, Southern Asia, Central America, and South America. What causes malaria? Malaria is caused by a bite from a mosquito infected with certain germs called parasites . In very rare cases, people can get malaria if they come into contact with infected blood. An unborn baby (fetus) may get the disease from its mother. You cannot get malaria just by being near a person who has the disease. What are the symptoms?

Any returning traveler who develops a fever that lasts more than a few days requires prompt medical attention to screen for a malaria infection. While malaria medications such as chloroquine, doxycycline, or mefloquine (Lariam) can prevent symptoms of acute malaria from developing by suppressing the infection in the bloodstream, they do not prevent relapses of infection caused by certain strains of the parasite that have a persistent liver phase. Fortunately, the most common type of malaria is the

The vaccine designed to prevent the malaria parasite from entering blood cells was safe and provoked strong immune responses (up to a sixfold increase in vaccine-specific antibodies) in the 40 adults who received it, according to the 17-member research team, based at the Malaria Research and Training Center at the University of Bamako. The volunteers were given three injections of full or half doses of the vaccine, with one month between each injection. The injections began in late December 2004, at the end of the malaria season in the rural town of Bandiagara in northeast Mali.

George Washington is on the one dollar bill. For one dollar we can buy a full course of treatment of malaria medication for one child AND use at least $0.50 to arrange for and purchase equipment and medicine to test for fake and counterfeit malaria drugs (as the NY Times reported 35% of malaria drugs we tested in Africa were substandard). Current estimates: Child malaria cases - 150million cases. 60 million child doses of ACT being produced. We need about 90 million more. Please take control of the world to make it a better place today. We are trying to make sure that the marches are really simple so everyone can organize one in a few minutes. Our goal for this week is ten marches. Yesterday we held two. One was held at Starbucks in Englewood NJ - six Washingtons were raised and one was held at the Thomas Jefferson Middle School in Teaneck, NJ - fifty Washingtons were raised. No march is too small - each march saves a life! Keep it simple! If you have the time to hold a March of Washingtons event - please let me know about it (we need EIGHT more this week to meet our goal!) and if you can it would be amazing if you take a picture of it. The more pictures we have the more encouraged others will be. Please post it to our group when you can. If it's a choice between holding the march w/o a picture or not holding the march because you have no camera - please choose to hold the march w/o the picture.

MALARIA Historical Highlights BC Hippocrates Clinical Symptoms Laveran Blood Stage Ross Mosquito Transmission Garnham Liver Stage Malaria has been and still is the cause of much human morbidity and mortality. Although the disease has been eradicated in most temperate zones, it continues to be endemic throughout much of the tropics and subtropics. Forty percent of the world's population lives in endemic areas. Epidemics have devastated large populations and malaria poses a serious barrier to economic progress in many developing countries. There are an estimated 300-500 million cases of clinical disease per year with 1.5-2.7 million deaths. Some of the earliest known medical writings from China, Assyria, and India accurately describe the malaria-like intermittent fevers. Hippocrates is generally credited with the first description of the clinical symptoms in 500 BC, more than 2000 years before the parasite was described (Table) Life Cycle Clinical Manifestations Pathogenesis and Cerebral Malaria Epidemiology and Control ...
