mkmyers45: This is real good news...hope the vaccines will be screened properly and they be effective... Its not a vaccine but a tablet just like Fansidar. The only difference is that Fansidar is used mostly for preventive and is not effective against the multidrug resistant strains of the parasite while this new drug is curative is effective against the multidrug resistant strains. |

Obinoscopy: It is said to prevent transmission... |
Re: Drug To Offer 'Single-Dose' Malaria Cure Found by Charlesnerd: 3:21pm On Aug 29, 2012 |
Why cant we have a vaccine for malaria?.Why cant we have a vaccine for HIV/AIDS?.No,because Big Pharma would go out of business. @Topic good news from Africa. |

mkmyers45: Not only vaccine can prevent transmission. Some drugs can also prevent transmission. For example Truvada, an antiretroviral drug, can prevent transmission of HIV between discordant couples or sex partners during sexual intercourse. Antimalarial drugs like Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine (eg Fansidar) also prevents one from getting malaria, that doesn't qualify Fansidar as a vaccine. Vaccines are actually antibodies or antigenic substances that boosts one's immune system against infections. |
Re: Drug To Offer 'Single-Dose' Malaria Cure Found by mkmyers45(m): 3:36pm On Aug 29, 2012 |
Obinoscopy: So its just some so isn't it acceptable to perceive it as a future vaccine? |
Re: Drug To Offer 'Single-Dose' Malaria Cure Found by Nobody: 3:47pm On Aug 29, 2012 |
It takes one to know one. Malaria is synonymous with Africa, so should the right therapy. |

If this news is anything to go by. Then, It's a plus not just a south africa along but to the entire african continent. But the question now is... Why has Nigeria ever discovered? Your guess is as good as mine. |

How about Fansidar? It is also single-dose drug. |

Re: Drug To Offer 'Single-Dose' Malaria Cure Found by dino2006(m): 6:00pm On Aug 29, 2012 |
mkmyers45: Obinoscopy has said it all. The action of preventing the spread, is more of prophylaxis, and not vaccination. In vaccination, u innoculate the individual with a whole or fractionated organism (bacteria, virus or protozoa), that is non-pathogenic but antigenic; capable of stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies against the antigens. @topic Good development. Way forward for science in Africa. I wish our Nigerian professors can emulate such feat. Cheers. |

Blisslife: This is great because malaria will kill people finish for nija Is it really that special? Medicines such is Fansidar are not all that expensive... and the question is, how high will the price for this one be fixed by pharmaceutical gangsters? |

Re: Drug To Offer 'Single-Dose' Malaria Cure Found by dasparrow: 7:29pm On Aug 29, 2012 |
@Post I prefer to take my Echinacea and vitamin C pills to boost my immune system and if I am to come down with malaria, I will drink Iba (some bitter concoction like that made by boiling different kinds of leaves). I am an advocate of holistic medicine whenever possible. These modern drugs only help to shorten one's life span in the long run whilst making pharmaceutical companies rich. |

Obinoscopy: Honestly, you have no reason to be sick. All sicknesses and diseases have been traced to lack of one diet nutrient or the other in the body. The body require daily supply of certain quantity of certain food nutrient that it may never get considering the type of food we eat. The picture below list all what d body requires on a daily basis to function optimally and fight diseases on its own the way God created it. However, u will agree with me that it is a tough call but its equally very easy. U may wish to send me a mail for further info as it can change the life of so many people. God bless Nigeria!!!
