Israeli scientists have developed a genetically modified tobacco plant that can fight drug-resistant malaria.
Malaria - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Prevention, Treatment
Malaria is caused by a parasite that enters blood through the bite of an infected mosquito. It is characterized by fever, vomiting, shivering, sweating and other symptoms.

However, Alexander Vainstein and his colleagues developed a tobacco plant that carry artemisin's genetical code, Xinhua reported quoting Israel's 21C news website Sunday.
About half a billion people suffer from malaria each year in Africa and East Asia, with a child dying every 30 seconds of this disease. Most of them have no means to purchase medicines to treat the illness.
About Mosquito Diseases
Mosquito-borne diseases, like malaria, filaria, dengue, etc are common in places conducive of mosquito breeding. Swamps, ponds and stagnated drainage provide optimal breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Study Provides Evidence of Malaria's Impact on Fetal Growth
Ultrasound scans have provided a conclusive evidence of malaria's effect on fetal growth.

'Test and Treat' Model Provides New Tactic for Malaria Eradication
While researchers contribute their efforts to abolish malaria globally, new strategies are vital to find and treat individuals with undiagnosed malaria.
