Researchers at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and the University of Oxford have developed a new treatment for multidrug-resistant malaria in South east Asia, is found, please report to the Amsterdam’s UNIVERSITY medical center on Thursday, in a press release.
In countries such as Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam, save the current methods of treatment, for example, with combination therapy, and piperaquine, so well is because the malaria parasite are more resistant, or even immune it seems. In addition, there is the threat of disease spread, and that it can be, particularly in Africa, millions of people have fatal consequences, according to researchers in the field.

adding a third drug was found to be previously successful in the treatment of tuberculosis and hiv infection. The treatment for drug-resistant malaria-is finally going to be able to turn, so the researchers are looking for a pharmaceutical company. According to the research coordinator by Rob van der Pluijm is now successful and a grant of eur 10.6 million in order for the method to develop the final match.
follow-up Study in Africa , as of april, is a follow-up study to be rolled out in fifteen countries, including eight countries in Africa. “We can, in view of the number of children that malaria is a huge difference,” says Van der Pluijm. It is a medicine to support patients to be handed out.
