Chance to eliminate Malaria

A data compilation published in The Lancet medical journal reveals that Malaria, the disease that cause the deaths of just about 1.2 million people around the globe every year, could be erased in the next 10 to 15 years. Scientists have examine the Malaria causing parasite Plasmodium falciparum over five years and found out that it is expected to vanish within the next decade and a half, as extended as transmission rates can significantly be reduced. If 90% of transmission cases would reduce, the organism would possibly become extinct. According to the current research findings, it is most probable for developed countries such as Brazil to get rid of Malaria as sanitary and governmental conditions allow confine the disease.

University of Florida in Gainesville member and co author of the study, Dr Andrew Tatem, explains: "In general, removal from countries in the Americas is most feasible using current tools, and least possible for most sub-Saharan countries." Malaria gets mostly transmit by mosquitoes and 90% of Malaria deaths occur on the African continent. That is why it is least probable for countries like Angola, Chad or Somalia to fight the disease, as scarcity rates and unstable governing previously represent tough challenges for its population.
