Extractions: Roll Back Malaria Department The Roll Back Malaria Partnership is a global initiative made up of more than 90 partners whose goal is to halve the burden of malaria by 2010. RBM was launched in 1998 by the World Health Organization, UNICEF, UNDP and the World Bank to provide a coordinated international approach to fighting malaria. The RBM Partnership website features the global strategy and programmatic approaches of the Partnership, issues surrounding country-level implementation of malaria control, malaria news and events, and information about the structure and operations of the Partnership, including thematic Working Groups. The WHO Roll Back Malaria Department is responsible for malaria policy and strategy formulation, operations support and capacity development, and coordination of WHO's global efforts to roll back malaria. The Department establishes and promotes based on evidence and expert consensus WHO policies, normative standards and guidelines for malaria prevention and control, including monitoring and evaluation.

Extractions: Overview This disease in humans results from infection with a protozoan blood parasite transmitted by a species of the mosquito genus Anopheles . The human clinical condition known as malaria is caused by infection with one of four species of the genus Plasmodium Plasmodium falciparum P. vivax P. malariae , and P. ovale . The first two are the most common and most important, and P. falciparum infection often can be fatal in the absence of treatment. Natural History The Plasmodium species are blood parasites, although some also invade liver cells where they lie dormant until later release brings a relapse with fevers associated with the destruction of red blood cells. The vector mosquitoes imbibe the parasites with the bloodmeal, and the sexual stages unite in the mosquito gut to create a stage which invades the gut wall and forms a cyst, which in turn releases many infective stages (sporozoites) which invade the salivary glands, and are injected into a new host when the mosquito feeds. The sporozoites invade liver cells and later developmental stages of the parasite invade red blood cells which they disrupt (causing fever), form sexual stages and the cycle is completed.

Extractions: The Malaria Clock: A Green Eco-Imperialist Legacy of Death In April 1972, after seven months of testimony, EPA Administrative Law Judge Edmund Sweeney stated that DDT is not a carcinogenic hazard to man. ... The uses of DDT under the regulations involved here do not have a deleterious effect on freshwater fish, estuarine organisms, wild birds, or other wildlife. ... The evidence in this proceeding supports the conclusion that there is a present need for the essential uses of DDT.* Two months later, EPA head [and Environmental Defense Fund member/fundraiser] William Ruckelshaus - who had never attended a single days session in the seven months of EPA hearings, and who admittedly had not even read the transcript of the hearings - overturned Judge Sweeneys decision. Ruckelshaus declared that DDT was a potential human carcinogen and banned it for virtually all uses.** Since Ruckelshaus arbitrarily and capriciously banned DDT, an estimated cases of malaria have caused immense suffering and poverty in the developing world.*** Of these largely avoidable cases

Time.com People Fortune EW InStyle Business 2.0 WASHINGTON (CNN) U.S. military officials at Guantanamo Bay are treating two detainees for malaria but said that none of the detainees has contracted tuberculosis. An initial chest X-ray of four detainees showed some indications of TB, but further testing indicated they were not ill, officials said. An additional detainee underwent surgery Wednesday for an infected wound, the officials said. A Navy mobile hospital at Camp X-Ray has been completed and is capable of treating 36 patients. There have been no serious security incidents, officials said. The disciplinary procedures for detainees begin with verbal commands from security guards, an official said. If that does not work, the detainee is shackled in his cell. If further measures are needed, they are taken to a separate isolated area. The next step is removal of privileges such as recreation time. A detainee recently spit at a guard and was taken to solitary confinement for one hour, officials said.

Thousands of African children like him die every day for the same reason, and will continue to die until effective drugs and insecticide treated mosquito nets (ITNs) are available. April 25 th is Africa Malaria Day, commemorating the African Summit on Roll Back Malaria in Abuja, Nigeria that took place 4 years ago. The Abuja Summit brought together 44 African leaders and donor organizations who committed to systems reform and a massive scaling-up of funds to fight malaria in Africa, and set five-year targets for reductions in malaria infections and deaths. With one year remaining to reach the 2005 targets, there is little to celebrate. Many African countries are still administering ineffective drugs, and less than 2% of African children are sleeping under ITNs.

Extractions: Assessments of the potential impact of global climate change on the incidence of malaria suggests a widespread increase of risk due to expansion of the areas suitable for malaria transmission. The predicted increase is most pronounced at the borders of endemic malaria areas and at higher altitudes within malaria areas. The changes in malaria risk must be interpreted on the basis of local environment conditions, the effects of socioeconomic development and malaria control programs or capabilities. The incidence of infection is sensitive to climate changes in areas of Southeast Asia, South America and parts of Africa. In these areas the number of years of healthy life lost may increase significantly. End of series
