At the core of immunology lies an intricate network of cells, tissues, and molecules...
Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good, nation-building expert William Easterly laments, "The West spent $2.3 trillion on foreign aid over the last five decades and still has not managed to get 12-cent medicines to children to prevent half of all malaria deaths...
There’s no use making plans to combat AMR if there is no one in place to implement them. In the United States, infectious disease doctors make theleast amount of money of any doctors in the 25 primary specialties, and few physicians or academic researchers choose the p...
A team of Australian malaria experts has been meeting in Canberra to find the most efficient ways to combat the disease in the South Pacific. Canberra has just announced a new multi-million dollar aid package to help efforts in the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea. From Sydney,...
The article discusses how to combat biting insects such as mosquitoes without using pesticides or gadgets including insect traps. Keeping mosquito populations in check is necessary to maintain public health particularly in tropical regions that...
drugs of choice. Namely, treating the viruses tuberculosis and HIV, and malaria (a parasite), has become harder as these diseases become resistant to medications. Even H1N1, the so-called “swine flu” that reached pandemic levels in 2009, has begun developing resistance to potent antiviral ...
disease prevention, and disease treatments. The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria should become the Global Health Fund, to finance the response to the global disease burden in developing countries. All of this requires foresight, long-term thinking, and more resources from the rich wor...
