How prevalent did the disease become, and how was it eventually eradicated in the U.S.? What lessons learned can be applied to other areas battling endemic malaria, and how should history guide surveillance and prevention efforts around the world? Recent malaria outbreaks in the US The Texas ...
Lastly, due to misuse and overuse of common antimalarial medications, such as artemisinin, antimicrobial resistance has become a major problem in many regions of the world. This drives up the number of drug-resistant cases, the severity of the illness and the possibility of larger outbreaks. This...
