The whole world use expense that malaria prevents from and treats for reach 1 billion dollars every year, does the money hit the goal? On February 26, researchers released global malaria and is distributed the meticulous picture, can find out from it, by contrast, some is in the malaria shade and shroud the country under, its per person puts into pitiably littly. Public medical and health experts hope, these new information can help various countries to revitalize one's own malaria and prevent and cure the plan, thus tackle the threat that this kind of infectious disease brings better.

Malaria is a kind of malignant plasmodium (Plasmodiumfalciparum) carried by mosquito Disease spreading. About 500 million people are infected with malaria every year in the whole world, and about 1 million people die because of this. Up until now, Africa is that malaria propagates the most serious area to the south of the Sahara, but the medical worker still lacks it about the detailed data in the world of this kind of infectious disease. It was still in 1968 that the scientist released the global malaria picture the last time, and the intersection of subsidy and the the intersection of infectious disease and organization of prevention and control nowadays only can infer money of them should in where does it spend preferably most. 2006, to link the intersection of health and the intersection of trust and foundation and many houses of research institution that spread all over the world initiate one the intersection of malaria and map plan (MAP) jointly Britain ,Aim at drawing, modeling and predict the risk that malaria causes in the whole world.

The researchers of MAP gathered by the relevant malaria data of various countries and research institution report from 2002 to 2006, climatic data that and included the temperature and hindrance malaria arid inside propagated. Researchers reflect the information in area and global map subsequently, thus demonstrate it is the biggest that which areas malaria nowadays faced spread dangerously. According to this map, about 2,370 million people - -Accounts for 35% of global population - -Face being infected with the danger of malaria. This result has dwindled in 1994 ' Account for the global population 46%) With 2002 ' Account for the global population 48%) Malaria dangerous assessment result. Map reveal 1 billion people live until whom malaria propagate high to endanger area, but the the intersection of disease and outside of Africa area infection rate exceed 5%. Researchers have reported this result of study on the network edition of " scientific public library - medical science " of February 26.

Lead the epidemiologist CarlosGuerra of British Oxford University of this job to say, some that the prominent malaria of this map propagates the risk and prevents and cures on fund input is uneven. For example, propagate South America country with lower risk with living at malaria - -Such as Surinam - -Crowd compare,Southeast Asia and Africa at danger be prevented and cured malaria input of but not wanted it more low the per persons of the areas. Guerra shows appreciation on development at full speed of the malaria prevention and control of South America, but he thinks, it is still not enough to reach the goal of eliminating malaria that the present per person in the world puts into, call upon these fund at those malaria " Become a big problem " Area go on redistribute.

The malaria biologists DyannWirth not participating in the institute of public health of Harvard University, Boston of U.S.A. of this plan point out, the result that this map provides is not felt startled, but the accuracy of the information is unprecedented. She says, this work has sent out a piece of " ripe " in the research field of malaria Signal,last one important basic.
