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.

Extractions: Malaria is one of the world's most common diseases, caused by a parasite that is transmitted to humans by a female mosquito's bite. The discovery of this parasite in mosquitoes earned the British scientist Ronald Ross the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1902. In 1907, Alphonse Laveran received the prize for his findings that the parasite was present in human blood.

At least 60 per cent of those at risk of malaria, particularly pregnant women and children under five years of age, benefit from the most suitable combination of personal and community protective measures such as insecticide treated nets and other accessible and affordable interventions. At least 60 per cent of all pregnant women who are at risk of malaria, especially those in their first pregnancies, have access to chemoprophylaxis or presumptive intermittent treatment.
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.
