New Malaria Drug Shows Promise in Animal Tests

ST. LOUIS, MO U.S. researchers have developed a new fast-acting drug against malaria that appears to avoid the problem with current medicines, which often lose their effectiveness against increasingly drug-resistant strains of malaria parasites, called Plasmodium.

Scientists say the new malaria medicine may have a decisive edge against this persistent tropical-world killer.

"Studies show that the drug acts very quickly to shut down this process. In fact, (in) only about 10 minutes.rdquo;

Perhaps the biggest obstacle in the fight against malaria, Riscoe adds, is the Plasmodium parasite's ability to mutate and develop resistance to each new drug used against the disease. ...
