Two major diseases, malaria and AIDS, are still out of control vaccines are not available, while the malaria parasite and the HIV virus, responsible for AIDS, have developed resistance to current dmgs. Variability of the agent, lack of commercial interest, and perhaps also unconfessed political plans at population growth control, have been an obstacle to active immunization against malaria. The hope for an HIV vaccine is now from the engagement of Merck Co (Conference 2001).

In a report by MSF, of 1,223 new chemical entities marketed between 1975 and 1997, only 13 (1 per cent) were specifically for tropical diseases, and just four could be considered to be products resulting directly from research activities of the pharmaceutical industry (Pecoul et al. 1999). More recently, the DND-WG and the HSPH sent questionnaires to the world s top 20 pharmaceutical companies to assess the level of R D activity in five neglected diseases sleeping sickness, leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, malaria and tuberculosis. Thirteen companies responded, eleven of which completed the questionnaire. In fiscal 2000, eight of the eleven spent nothing on...

Contraction of malaria, today known to be a protozoan infection caused by the bite of the Anopheles mosquito, does not accord immediate and/or universal immunity. Whereas those in geographical regions frequently exposed to malarial infection often exhibit no or attenuated symptoms, those less exposed can become severely and repeatedly ill. Even today the molecular mechanisms underlying natural immunity to malaria are not clearly understood. For details, see the Oxford Research on Childhood Disease Malaria at and WHO/TDR [World Health Organization/Tropical Disease Research] Database at (reviewed Feb. 6, 2001). Repeated attacks may even cause chronic malaria characterized by severe anemia, emaciation, enlargement of the spleen, weakness, edema of the ankles, and...

The incidence and severity of Salmonellosis is increased in the following conditions or comorbidities. Achlorhydria, pernicious anemia, impaired immune response, HIV infection, malnutrition, chronic steroid administration, frequent administration of antibiotics which affects intestinal flora and lowers resistance of colonization, lymphoproliferative diseases, malignant tumors, schistosomiasis, chronic hemolytic syndromes (sickle cell disease), malaria and inflammatory bowel disease, mainly ulcerative cohtis. 

Morphine, also known as ascocaine, is also an addictive substance. The diacetate salt of morphine, heroin, is as addictive as morphine and cocaine. Many different alkaloids, such as nicotine and quinine, contain more than one nitrogen atom in their structure. Quinine is used in medicine to cure the disease malaria. Nicotine is a colorless, poisonous alkaloid present in large amounts in tobacco. As it is highly toxic, its salts are used as insecticides.

Traditional use Decoction of the flowering herb is used for gastric diseases, malaria, toothaches, bleeding gums, and as an oral rinse, as well as is applied externally to treat abscesses and tumors. Syrup, made by boiling gentian and barberry roots for a long time, is recommended for side pains, rheumatic pain and chest pains (Khalmatov 1964). 

Traditional use A decoction of the leaves is used as a diuretic and as a treattnent for cystitis, gastric diseases, lung tuberculosis, headaches, and to detoxify snake bites. Decoctions, infusions, extracts, and juice are used as a bacteriostatic, antiinflammatory, antispasmodic, and expectorant, and also to treat enterocolitis, stomach ulcers, liver diseases, malaria, bronchitis, pertussis, bronchial asthma, allergic conjunctivitis, as well as to heal wounds, furuncles, skin ulcers, and purulent wounds (Plant Resources of the USSR 1990). 

Malaria. Malaria is one of the most common and widespread diseases caused by parasite infection. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), between 350,000 and 500,000 cases of malaria are reported annually, and malaria has one of the highest fatality rates of all diseases. Malaria is caused hy plasmodium, a parasite that is typically spread through mosquito bites.

Turning to the worldwide situation, herbicides are again the single most important group of pesticides. However the sales value of insecticides is not far behind and reflects the severe problems which insects cause in climates warmer than our own temperate one. Not only is there interference with growing crops (e.g. by locusts) but in tropical countries insects are responsible for the transmission of several virulent diseases. Malaria is perhaps the best known of these, and programmes for its eradication have represented a major outlet for insecticides. 

An official history of the US Army s work in preventing communicable diseases suggests that this vaccine went untried on humans, but this cannot be entirely correct. John Boyd Coates, Jr., Ebbe Curtis Hoff, and Phebe M. Hoff, eds.. Preventive Medicine in World War II, Vol. VI Communicable Diseases, Malaria (Washington, DC Office of the Surgeon General, Department of the Army 1963) p. 495. At the very least, one could say that the Japanese B encephalitis vaccine had limited clinical or experimental trial data in 1945.
