• Scientists found Viagra helps change the shape of the malaria parasite .

• By doing so it prevents the parasite from passing through the spleen and into the patient's blood stream

• Malaria is spread when the parasite moves into the blood stream and is picked up by more mosquitoes biting sufferers

•Experts say 'astonishing discovery' could result in new treatments

Prescribing malaria patients Viagra could help stem the spread of the highly infectious disease, scientists have revealed.

Experts in the field of infectious diseases believe the 'astonishing discovery' could result in a new treatment to prevent spread within a population.

A new study found it is possible to prevent the transmission of malaria parasites from humans to mosquitoes, thereby preventing further spread.
The key, researchers noted, was the stiffening powers of Viagra.

By using the erectile dysfunction drug to alter the shape of the parasite cell that triggers the disease, they were able to increase the power of the spleen to filter the virus out from the blood.
