Stunning analysis traces new Ebola outbreak to survivor of W. Africa crisis The analysis suggests that a survivor of the historic Ebola outbreak continued shedding the virus at least five years after being infected. Helen Branswell STAT

A survivor of the massive 2014-2016 West African Ebola outbreak almost certainly triggered an outbreak currently underway in Guinea, according to a new genetic analysis, news that has landed like a bombshell in the community of researchers who study the dangerous virus.

    African malaria deaths set to dwarf covid-19 fatalities as pandemic hits control efforts, WHO warns

    Fri, 2020-12-04 17:39 — mike kraft
    African malaria deaths set to dwarf covid-19 fatalities as pandemic hits control efforts, WHO warns Excess malaria deaths caused by pandemic driven shortfalls in prevention and treatment efforts will probably dwarf direct deaths from covid-19 in sub-Saharan Africa, the World Health Organization has warned. Progress against malaria—dramatic in the first decade of this century—had already stalled since 2016 as foreign donors drifted away. But 2020 is likely to be the first year in decades to see an increase in deaths, WHO warned in its 2020 World Malaria Report.1 About 1.5 billion malaria cases and 7.6 million deaths have been averted since 2000, WHO estimates.

    WHO calls for reinvigorated action to fight malaria - Global malaria gains threatened by access gaps, COVID-19 and funding shortfalls

    Tue, 2020-12-01 17:14 — mike kraft

    https://notifier.in/item/0qm7qm8ujt3xt78kltzmzbiiw342ykk3/2266941.html

    The World Health Organization (WHO) is calling on countries and global health partners to step up the fight against malaria, a preventable and treatable disease that continues to claim hundreds of thousands of lives each year. A better targeting of interventions, new tools and increased funding are needed to change the global trajectory of the disease and reach internationally-agreed targets.

    According to WHO‘s latest World malaria report, progress against malaria continues to plateau, particularly in high burden countries in Africa. Gaps in access to life-saving tools are undermining global efforts to curb the disease, and the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to set back the fight even further.
