Malaria is caused by the Plasmodium falciparum parasite, which is carried by females mosquitos Credit: AFP New research has shown the first clinical evidence that a mutated drug-resistant form of the parasite which causes malaria is spreading in Africa and may have “dire consequences”. Over the last two decades, huge gains have been made against the disease. The number of malaria deaths around the world has practically halved, from 840,000 deaths per year in 2000 to 440,000 in 2015. This decline has largely been due to the distribution of cheap anti-malaria drugs and the availability of mosquito nets. However, experts have long feared that the emergence of a drug-resistant form of malaria could reverse some of these gains.
Story highlights There have been concerns for long about the emergence of such mutations across the continent which makes up for over 90 per cent of malaria deaths worldwide in 2019 Scientists on Thursday confirmed the first clinical evidence of drug-resistant mutations of the parasite that leads to malaria making inroads in Africa. There have been concerns for long about the emergence of such mutations across the continent which makes up for over 90 per cent of malaria deaths worldwide in 2019. A new report published in The Lancet has confirmed these fears. According to the trials, the disease persisted longer in children who were receiving standard treatment for malaria if they were infected with mutant strains of the parasite.
Drug-resistant malaria gaining foothold in Africa: study Issued on: 15/04/2021 - 01:04 There are an estimated 229 million cases of malaria worldwide, according to the World Health Organisation AMOS GUMULIRA AFP/File 3 min Paris (AFP) Researchers on Thursday reported the first clinical evidence that drug-resistant mutations of the parasite responsible for malaria are gaining ground in Africa. Experts have long worried about the emergence of drug resistance across the continent, which accounted for more than 90 percent of malaria deaths worldwide in 2019. A new study published in The Lancet appears to confirm those fears. In clinical trials, the disease lingered longer in children receiving standard treatment for malaria if they were infected with mutant strains of the disease, the study found.
