Over the last decade, the world has made major progress in the fight against malaria. Since 2000, malaria mortality rates have fallen by more than 25%, and 50 of the 99 countries with ongoing transmission are now on track to meet the 2015 World Health Assembly target of reducing incidence rates by more than 75%. A major scale-up of vector control interventions, together with increased access to diagnostic testing and quality-assured treatment, has been key to this progress. Read entire article...

DAVIS--Dengue, a mosquito-borne viral disease known as “breakback fever,” is three times more prevalent than originally thought, according to a research paper published today in Nature and co-authored by dengue expert Thomas Scott of the University of California, Davis. An 18-member team, in research titled “The Global Distribution and Burden of Dengue,” said that their estimate of 350 million people infected each year more than triples the World Health Organization’s current estimate of 50 to 100 million.

Mosquito bites could soon become a thing of the
past, as US scientists led by an Indian-origin researcher claim to have developed a gas
that confuses the pesky insects and forces them to buzz off.

Researchers from the University of California created three classes of odour molecules that swamp the mosquitoes' senses, making it next to impossible for the insects to sniff out human blood.  Read entire article...
