Malaria and antioxidants: beware
Tags:
Green tea Camellia sinensis has no antimalarial properties.No paper can be found in the scientific literature documenting such a property. And the studies of Mutaz Akkawi have shown that green tea does not inhibit hemozoin like Artemisia annua or afra or sieberi do.
Strange!
A possible answer can be found in this Czech paper.
Diana Chrpová, Lenka Kouřimsk , Michael Harry Gordon, Antioxidant Activity of Selected Phenols and Herbs Used in Diets for Medical Conditions. Czech J. Food Sci. Vol. 28, 2010, No. 4: 317–325
Stability of Artemisia plants after ageing
In 2001 WHO posted a statement on their home page, without signatures, without references: « Due to the instability of artemisinin in raw materials of Artemisia annua L, the leaves need to be stored in cool conditions — preferably below 20°C. Most malaria endemic countries have warm climates and people generally lack access to refrigeration, so it is difficult for patients to keep artemisinin-containing tea bags under 20°C in their homes” A statement not substantiated by scientific papers. Cui bono?
Our associations immediately gathered available data which prove the contrary

Yes, MWC 2018 will feature the latest science, but it will be delivered within the context of the problems in implementing the best tools we have, the difficulties of financing them, and the cultural context of the many communities across the globe that are devastatingly impacted by malaria.

Dr. Kenneth Staley has just been appointed as the new head of the US Presidential Malaria Initiative, succeeding Tim Ziemer who led the PMI for so many years. This is probably the most important position in global malaria control, and we wish Dr. Staley all the best.
Nigeria should emphasize permanent control measures such as LSM
Tags:
Given that the drop in malaria prevalence in Nigeria has been very modest in the last 5 years, it would be wise to take another look at the methods being used - which unfortunately are ephemeral (indoor sprays, bednets and drugs) and must be repeated every year. The lack of emphasis on permanent measures, such as Larval Source Management, is a key to the problem. With the ephemeral methods, because the national budget for malaria control can only increase slowly, thus the program will only increase slowly.
High return on investments in malaria suppression
Recently I published "Increased economic productivity after suppressing malaria transmission in 14 African countries" in the ejournal African Policy Journal, 2014 v9 Apr. This is a new journal run by students at Harvard Graduate School of Govt, and does not get picked up by the normal search engines, so I urge you to go to their website at African Policy Journal for their current articles.
Looking back at MIM2018: Some food for thought
