Malaria to be eradicated in Cambodia ??

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

i leave a cup of standing water for the mozzie to lay their eggs, once i see larvae start wiggling i poured the cup away, wiping away a whole generation of mozzies, rinse n repeat, u will start to see drop in larvae after few mozzicides, just make sure to throw out the water before larvae hatch though

Alarm as 'super malaria' spreads in South East Asia
By James Gallagher
Health and science reporter, BBC News website
22 September 2017

The rapid spread of "super malaria" in South East Asia is an alarming global threat, scientists are warning.

This dangerous form of the malaria parasite cannot be killed with the main anti-malaria drugs.

It emerged in Cambodia but has since spread through parts of Thailand, Laos and has arrived in southern Vietnam.

The team at the Mahidol-Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit in Bangkok said there was a real danger of malaria becoming untreatable....... etc...

Australian fellow I know in Kampot got hit with this strain in December 2017. Last I heard was he was in hospital gravely ill.

Maybe H.S. will also soon have his Kingdom find a cure for cancer and create peaceful harmony between Jews and Muslims.
When working in Africa many of us got malaria occasionally. Some had the fatal type, "clebrial" malaria. A medivac on a Learjet always looked good, but the nurse knew the individual was a goner within 24 hrs.

There is a US TV show called 'worst prisons' or something like that. I recall the episode about prisons in Madagascar, where there is that untreatable strain of malaria. This is the strain now in S.E. Asia. Of that prison, it talked about the high percentage of prisoners infected and how it is spreading and no treatment available resulting in daily deaths.
Cambodia prisons are similar. No medical care at all until prisoners are on deaths door.
H.S. is a complete fool to make a statement about wiping out malaria. USA made the claim but were quickly mocked given that at the time of their claim, there were still patients in intensive care in their hospital system gravely ill from malaria.
No country has ever eradicated malaria. [admin edited].

That's how they got rid of the last of the Yellow Fever mozzies in Panama when they were building the canal. Aegyptes likes to lay her eggs in clean water. That and building an extensive sewage and clean water system. The only way you're going to get rid of mozzies is through engineered sterile males. You won't get rid of them through sprays.
