http://www.cnn.com/2000/HEALTH/10/20/malaria.gene.reut/index.html

Extractions: WEB SERVICES: WASHINGTON (Reuters) A single gene makes the malaria parasite resistant to the preferred drug used to treat it, researchers said Thursday a finding that could make it easier to develop drugs to treat the infection. The discovery could also make it possible to bring back chloroquine a cheap and effective drug that has eventually become useless in many regions around the world because of the mutated parasite.

Malaria, Health Risks - Travelers Vs. Natives (Tropical Diseases)
Tropical diseases in particular malaria are increasing worldwide. This page explains what your doctor doesn t tell you.
http://www.nativeplanet.org/health/malaria.htm

Extractions: Native Planet Health Malaria Among my biggest concerns is disease, specifically malaria. I contracted malaria a few times during my travels, but the last time I nearly perished from a resistant strain I caught in Irian Jaya. For two and half years, I had re-occurrences every three months. Those painful attacks and the terrible side effects from Larium (also called Mefloquine) led me to do much research on the subject. I discussed my problem with specialists in the States, Europe and Asia. Malaria and its treatment remains a very controversial subject (many scientists and doctors remain in disagreements). In this page, my intention is to educate people about the dangers of Malaria, but also on the responsibilities of all travelers in the third world to do their part to both stay safe and not perpetrate resistant strains amongst the local people.

Extractions: Malaria is the most important and the most widespread of the transmissible diseases. It threatens almost one third of Humanity, affects around 600 million people and is responsible, each year, for more than 2 million deaths. Caused by microscopic parasites, Plasmodia, this disease is transmitted by the bite of certain mosquitoes, the Anopheles. impact malaria Its symptoms include bouts of a special type of fever, as well as an increase in the volume of the spleen and various other disorders. But malaria may involve complications such as cerebral attacks causing a fatal coma, especially among young children living in malaria-endemic areas or among expatriates and tourists. plasmodium falciparum Globally, malaria thrives in various inter-tropical regions, with the obvious exception of the desert areas or high mountains. malaria news Beyond geographical or climatic factors, the frequency of the disease is essentially controlled by the mosquito vector. Certain species are, in fact, more active than others. This explains the frequency and the intensity of the infection in inter-tropical Africa and in certain regions of the Amazon Basin. On the other hand, the intensity of transmission is lower in other inter-tropical regions and especially in South East Asia. plasmodium malariae malaria paludisme The agents of malaria, called Plasmodia, are microscopic parasites measuring a few thousandths of a millimeter, which always develop inside host cells. Of the 4 plasmodial species that can live as a parasite in humans, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae, the most important is Plasmodium falciparum since it is both the most widespread and the only one capable of producing fatal complications. The Plasmodia develop inside red blood cells.

CNN - Malaria Outbreak In South Philippines Kills 31 - February 25, 1998
http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9802/25/philippines.malaria/index.html

Extractions: Web posted at: 6:17 a.m. EST (1117 GMT) ZAMBOANGA, Philippines (CNN) An outbreak of malaria has killed 31 people in the southern Philippines and officials on Wednesday blamed bandits for frightening off health teams sent to kill mosquitoes in remote villages. The Department of Health has sent medical teams to Siasi Island, 120 km (75 miles) southwest of Zamboanga, to contain the outbreak, which started in January, regional health director Lourdes Labiano said. Twenty-four villagers on the small island died last month and another seven on Sunday. Another 200 have the disease, she said. Health officials said malaria was endemic in several southern islands because they were heavily forested. But health teams assigned to spray houses with insecticide could not penetrate some villages because of rebels and bandits roaming the area, they said. Malaria, a disease caused by parasites, causes or contributes to 3 million deaths and 500 million acute illnesses a year, according to the Malaria Foundation. Nearly eradicated in 37 coutries 30 years ago, it has since begun to return, as drug-resistant strains have developed.

Extractions: (malaria) Malaria has been recognized as an important parasitic disease of humans for centuries, having been described by the early Egyptians in the third millennium B.C. Despite the introduction of control programs in many parts of the world over the past few decades, the impact of malaria on human populations continues to increase. Recent estimates suggest (1) that 1.5 billion persons live in areas of the world where malaria is an endemic disease, (2) that the number of infected humans exceeds 500,000,000, and (3) that 1-2 million persons die each year. Four species of Plasmodium infect humans and cause malaria. All species are vector borne diseases, being spread by anopheline mosquitoes , and the disease is distributed throughout much of the world ( view distribution ). In the human host the parasite is found primarily inside of the red blood cells (RBC). The parasite reproduces asexually inside of the RBC, and following this the RBC breaks open releasing many new parasites (merozoites). These parasites then infect more RBC's, and this ultimately leads to the destruction of massive numbers of RBC's. The characteristic "chill and fever" (paroxysm) associated with malaria occurs when the parasites are released from the RBC's, and since the release of parasites is periodic, the paroxysms are periodic. For examples, the paroxysms associated with a tertian malaria (e.g., Plasmodium vivax ) occur about ever 48 hours, and those associated with a quarten malaria (e.g.
