HIV and malaria combine to adversely affect pregnant women and their infants
University of Toronto researchers have uncovered the basis by which pregnant women protect themselves against malaria and have also discovered how the HIV virus works to counteract this defence. The research could lead to improved vaccines for pregnant women in malaria-ravished regions. view more (2007-05-30)
Fresh Hopes For Treatment Of Malaria In Africa (p 1218)

NEW APPROACH TO INFANT MALARIA AND ANAEMIA CONTROL (p 1471)
A new approach to malaria and anaemia control involving drug treatment delivered at the time of an existing WHO immunisation schedule could substantially reduce illness and death from malaria among infants, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. An estimated 1 000 000 malaria deaths per year underline the need for improved... view more... (2001-05-09)
