Viagra Could Stop The Spread Of Malaria by Frankenstein: 7:14pm On May 14, 2015 |
The world's favourite little blue pill doesn't just treat erectile dysfunction, new research suggests that Viagra may also help stop the spread of malaria. By causing the parasite behind the disease, Plasmodium falciparum, to, well, stiffen, Viagra makes infected red blood cells less flexible, and encourages the spleen to filter them out of the blood stream. While this doesn't stop someone from being infected with malaria, it does stop uninfected mosquitoes from picking up the parasite- carrying red blood cells when they bite these patients, and therefore prevents the disease from spreading to other people. http://www.sciencealert.com/viagra-could-help-stop-the-spread-of-malaria-new-study-suggests |
