Millions at risk from drug-resistant malaria in Africa.

Detection of artemisinin resistance in African children with severe malaria heightens treatment concerns and may alter medical guidelines.

Medical schools in Europe will integrate climate impact education into their curricula to prepare future doctors for emerging health challenges related to climate change.

The debate centers on genetically engineered mosquitoes for malaria control, highlighting the balance between potential benefits and risks to ecosystems.

Engineered mosquitoes can deliver vaccines, potentially providing enhanced immunity against malaria, especially critical due to the high malaria death rate.

The mysterious flu-like disease in the DRC has been identified as severe malaria complicated by malnutrition, primarily affecting women and children.

Severe malaria in children poses significantly increased risks, and treatments like artemisinin are showing diminished efficacy.

The DRC is grappling with a mysterious illness causing high mortality among children in a remote health zone, jeopardizing emergency response capabilities.

Mosquitoes are the most dangerous animals on the planet, causing more human deaths than other predators combined.

Mosquitoes are the world's scariest animal due to their ability to carry deadly diseases like malaria.

Bill Gates emphasizes the critical role of young activists in addressing climate change and highlights the importance of innovative technology in combating environmental issues.

Artificial intelligence is being used to map and predict the spread of malaria.

AI can help identify high-risk areas and allocate resources effectively.

Malaria has shaped the human genome through the prevalence of inherited blood disorders like sickle cell disease, providing resistance.

The mitochondrial genome of ancient Plasmodium falciparum was sequenced, aiding in understanding malaria history in Europe.

Genetic data from European parasites, ancient or recent, plays a crucial role in understanding parasite movement globally.

Malaria's impact on human evolution through genetic selection pressures is pronounced.

Genetic information from ancient remains reveals insights into malaria's evolution and spread alongside human populations.

Sequencing the mitochondrial genome of the deadliest form of malaria from an ancient Roman skeleton provides valuable data on the disease's history.

Cameroon has started rolling out routine childhood immunizations using a malaria vaccine called RTS,S or Mosquirix.

The hope is that this vaccine rollout will help relieve the burden of malaria on the country's health care system.

Cameroon has started a mass vaccination campaign against malaria, the first country to do so outside of clinical trials.

The vaccine being used is called Mosquirix, or RTS,S, produced by GlaxoSmithKline.

Cameroon has launched a vaccination campaign against malaria, becoming the first country outside of clinical trials to implement such a campaign.

The vaccine being used is Mosquirix, or RTS,S, produced by GlaxoSmithKline, and it has been recognized as efficient and recommended by the World Health Organization.

Cape Verde has been declared malaria-free, becoming the third African nation to achieve this status after Mauritius and Algeria.

The elimination of malaria in Cape Verde is expected to have a positive impact on tourism by attracting more visitors and removing constraints on mobility.

Cape Verde becomes the fourth African country to eliminate malaria.

The country's success is attributed to free treatment and testing, surveillance of mosquito breeding sites, and commitment from the government and people.
