Research funded by NWO has shown that African mothers greatly over-report fever in their children. As a result the children are given anti-malaria drugs too often. African households seldom possess a thermometer. Another outcome of the study is that it opens up the possibility of detecting anaemia at village level using a new and simple method.... view more...

'Dodgy dossier' partly to blame for failure of war against malaria in the tropics
The war against malaria in tropical countries was fought and lost in the 20th Century on the basis of faulty intelligence, a 'dodgy dossier' which argued that the same methods used to tackle the disease in temperate countries would also work in the tropics. view more (2008-09-11)
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)
Despite the large number of deaths caused worldwide by AIDS, tuberculosis, and diarrhoeal diseases such as cholera, the biggest infectious-disease killer is still malaria, especially in Africa. Efforts to eradicate the carrier of malaria, a mosquito, have been only partly successful. The standard treatment for malaria has, for many years, been... view more... (2001-10-10)

How HIV vaccine might have increased odds of infection
In September 2007, a phase II HIV-1 vaccine trial was abruptly halted when researchers found that the vaccine may have promoted, rather than prevented, HIV infection. view more (2008-11-03)
An HIV Vaccine is within reach
An effective, affordable, and accessible HIV vaccine is 7-10 years away, according to scientists at the Medical Research Council of South Africa, in this week's BMJ. However, its success depends on a complex interplay of politics, science, and public-private partnerships. view more (2002-01-23)
Combination Drug Therapy Offers Hope For Malaria Treatment (pp 3, 9, 18)
Two articles and a Commentary in this week's issue highlight how combination therapy offers the best hope for tackling drug resistance for the millions of people worldwide affected by malaria. Drug resistance is the main barrier to effective malaria treatment. Artemisinin (extract of sweet wormwood , commonly used in Chinese herbal medicine) and... view more... (2003-12-30)
Protecting HIV patients from Hepatitis B virus
Since the transmission of HIV and Hepatitis B virus (HBV) are so similar, individuals infected with one of these viruses are at a significantly increased risk for contracting the other. view more (2007-07-18)
Insects and disease - international symposium and national meeting
The Royal Entomological Society, in association with the Entomological Society of the Netherlands and the International Union of Forest Research Organisations, is holding its bi-annual symposium at the University of Aberdeen on 10-12 September 2001. The theme of "Insects and disease" will bring together hundreds of entomologists from... view more... (2001-08-13)
Malaria may fuel spread of HIV in sub-Saharan Africa
Malaria may be fueling the spread of HIV in areas of sub-Saharan Africa where there is a substantial overlap between the two diseases, while HIV may be playing a role in boosting adult malaria-infection rates in some parts of the region, according to a new study by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the University of... view more...
