Malaria is an infectious disease caused by parasites and spread by mosquitoes. Especially dangerous to children, it's the cause of 1 million deaths annually. About half of the world is at risk of catching malaria. This thought-provoking book answers questions including what it's like to contract malaria and the groundbreaking efforts and goals of today's medical and scientific community to both prevent and treat the disease. Mosquito nets, insecticides, and medications are among the many topics featured. Photographs of professionals in action and quotations from specialists add a sense of urgency to address this global crisis.

Master's Thesis from the year 2004 in the subject Health - Miscellaneous, grade: sehr gut, University of Bonn (Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Fakultät), language: English, abstract: Malaria as a disease of the poorest in the world is on the global agenda. Many different groups take efforts in order to tackle malaria. Facing the fact that mainly children and pregnant women present the biggest problems it is difficult to maintain a logical way in order to improve the malaria situation. Therefore, organization and coordination of the efforts is an area of improvement. For example, various Public Private Partnerships have partly identical missions (e.g. GAVI and MVI), and there is good reason for combining their efforts and save administrative resources. The first step in a logic chain should be to provide better diagnostic features for the correct detection of malaria with the consequence of an adequate treatment. Country surveillance programs need to be set up in order follow resistance patterns, treatment effects, demographic patterns etc. In parallel better therapeutic and preventive measures need to be developed in order to win the race against resistance of vectors as well as parasites. All these efforts need to be planned, coordinated, managed and regulated. This requests one global coordinator with an "umbrella function" that defines rules for all partners involved and manages the cooperation. The umbrella function should sit within a non-profit organization with long-term experience in the field, in other words the UN and more precisely the WHO. Cooperating partners can be of very different origins like industry, governments, private and public foundations, NGOs, etc. Many of these organizations already exist, but their efforts are partly the same, some themes are left out the scope. Therefore, the general recommendation would be to better streamline existing initiatives, partly redefine their mission and vision and make optimal use of existing resourc

"Malaria is an old infectious disease that still kills nearly one million people every year, mostly children and women in developing countries. While in certain geographical areas malaria control has been remarkable, thanks to insecticide-treated bed nets and effective treatment; the development of resistances to insecticides, to medicines and the quality of the health systems in these regions are threats that demand increased research efforts. Europe has been traditionally strong in malaria research. More recently, targeted and sustained support for malaria research at EU level, through the 6th and 7th Framework Programmes for research and technological development (FP6 (2002-2006) and FP7 (2007-2013)), has contributed to better structure the malaria research, under complementary research projects and networks, around few key areas: fundamental research on the malaria parasite, development of new drugs, research and development of a vaccine, research to control the malaria-transmitting mosquito vector, research for better diagnostic tests and operational research for better control intervention tools and strategies. Considerable efforts are being undertaken to ensure adequate participation of research groups from endemic countries, in particular from Africa, aiming at strengthen research capacities in these countries."--P.

During World War II, 12,000 Allied prisoners of war died while constructing a bridge over the river Kwai in western Thailand, and then a railway through the thick jungles of the Kwai Valley all the way to Burma. Decades later, during the Vietnam War, Jonathan R.C. Green enlisted as a medic in the U.S. Army, expecting to take care of wounded Americans and Asians, but was kept in a Stateside assignment instead, much to his frustration. So, shortly before his enlistment expired, he applied for the Peace Corps and asked to serve in Southeast Asia. Six weeks after leaving the Army, he arrived in Thailand as a Peace Corps Volunteer. His job assignment was to fight malaria by controlling the mosquito populations in remote jungle villages in the valley of the infamous River Kwai. Besides the hazards posed by snakes, scorpions and centipedes in the jungle, he ran the risk of contracting malaria, dengue fever and other mosquito-borne diseases, while suffering severe bouts of dysentery. He often had to live on a monotonous diet of rice, bamboo shoots and hot sauce three times a day, with the only reasonably safe drinking water coming from rain barrels teeming with mosquito larvae. While becoming accustomed to a rugged lifestyle in the jungle, he had to quickly learn a complex language and exotic culture. An inadvertent misstep in manners could have damaged his credibility, and hence the outcome of his undertaking, as badly as catching the disease he was supposed to be fighting.

"Malaria is an ancient disease caused by a parasite passed through the bites of infected mosquitoes. It is only now-through extensive scientific research-that malaria can be prevented, treated, and cured. This fascinating book examines the difficulties malaria still presents and how science is working on a "zero malaria plan" that will one day eradicate the disease entirely"--
