Scientists, Police Lift Lid on Life-Threatening Fake Malaria Drugs [Voice of America - USA] — (English)
Malaria is an enormous problem around the world, annually affecting an estimated 500 million people and killing about one million of them. For decades, doctors and scientists have watched helplessly as first-line medications became ineffective against the disease. That's because malaria parasites have evolved resistance to quinine-based medications such as chloroquine. But, as we hear from reporter Rose Hoban, the latest public health enemy is not so much a mutating microbe as it is human greed...
