malaria

In Africa, malaria kills far more people than AIDS, but the fight against that grim disease has been hugely successful, too.

The first malaria treatment suitable for babies and very young children has been approved for use.

Mosquitoes should be given malaria drugs to clear their infection so they can no longer spread the disease, say US researchers.

The cut in US assistance, expected to take effect next year, would affect drugs to treat malaria, HIV and TB.

Sea level rise has also been linked to infertility, and pregnant people have an increased risk for contracting climate-related illnesses like malaria.
