Rectal artemisinins rapidly reduce malaria viral <\/i>load<\/b>
BMC Infectious Diseases 2008, 8:39<\/p>\n

Artemisinins administered as rectal suppositories, particularly artesunate as a single high dose, reduce malaria parasite load within 24 hours without serious adverse effects, offering an alternative to intravenous quinine therapy in remote areas where trained personnel are scarce. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Don’t laugh- but my first thoughts was HOW did they manage it technically!? on reading the whole article I realized they meant malarial parasite load in people not umm… mosquitoes.
you can read the full article<\/a> here (open access<\/a> abstract).<\/p>\n

From my earlier days i remember there was increasing resistance to artemisin derivatives and I suppose combination therapy is advised to reduce those chances.I wonder how this will have impact on drug resistance in future.<\/p>\n

Note: It is not viral<\/i>.<\/p>\n

&ps- i will try to post regularly.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
