Novartis het goedkeuring ontvang in Switserland vir Coartem Baby, die eerste middel wat malaria in babas en baie jong kinders behandel. Babas is tot dusver formulerings gegee wat vir ouer kinders bedoel is, wat die risiko van oordosis verhoog. Malaria-entstowwe word ook nie vir die jongste babas goedgekeur nie. Agt Afrika-lande wat aan die assessering deelgeneem het, sal na verwagting die behandeling vinnig goedkeur. Dr. Caroline Boulton, hoof van Novartis se globale malaria-program, lig die skaal van die probleem uit.

In the 1970s and 80s, Caroline Eshghi was a young girl living in Bristol, Somerset, and Wiltshire. From the moment she was born until she ran away at the age of 15, Caroline was beaten, burned and starved by her mother. In May this year, Melanie Burmingham was jailed for 20 months for abusing her daughter more than 50 years ago. Caroline tells Krupa Padhy why she is now petitioning for a change to the law around historical cases that only allows a sentence available at the time of offending. The first malaria treatment suitable for babies has been approved for use. We speak to BBC Africa Health Correspondent Dorcas Wangira in Nairobi to find out how this may empower healthcare workers in the battle against the disease that takes the lives of hundreds of thousands of people each year.One of the key measures that Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood is reported to be considering as part of her Sentencing Bill is a national rollout of drugs that suppress sexual arousal to try and tackle sex offenders. There is currently a working pilot in the South West of England, and several of the clinicians, psychiatrists and forensic psychologists have raised concerns about making such a scheme mandatory. Krupa talks to Don Rubin, Emeritus Professor in Forensic Psychology at Newcastle University, and a consultant to the pilot programme. Fatima Timbo, known as Fats Timbo, is a content creator and comedian who has amassed an incredible 3 million followers on TikTok. Since appearing on TV show The Undateables in 2018, she's also been part of the team bringing us the Paralympics coverage from Paris last year.

Das Schweizerische Heilmittelinstitut Swissmedic hat ein Medikament gegen Malaria von Novartis zugelassen, das speziell für Kleinkinder ist. Bei Erwachsenen wird das Mittel schon seit Jahren eingesetzt, nun wurde es in acht afrikanischen Ländern auch bei Kleinkindern getestet. Weitere Themen: Bundesrat Albert Rösti hat am Dienstag zu einem Sommergespräch auf den Moléson geladen. Ziel war es, über Themen aus seinem Departement zu berichten, die Stromversorgung etwa oder die Verkehrsinfrastruktur. Der Transportminister Russlands, Roman Starowoit, wurde wegen Korruption abrupt entlassen. Stunden später wurde sein Tod vermeldet, offenbar Suizid. Vieles ist unklar. Klar ist hingegen, dass Starowoits Tod ein Schlaglicht auf die grassierende Korruption im Land wirft.

Mücken nerven – und sie töten. In vielen Teilen der Welt übertragen sie Krankheiten wie Dengue, Malaria oder Zika. Die Folgen sind oft dramatisch – für Menschen und auch für ganze Volkswirtschaften. Mit gentechnisch veränderten Mücken will die Forschung den Spiess nun umdrehen: gezielte Züchtung, sterile Männchen, genetische Selbstzerstörung. Klingt wie Science-Fiction, ist aber Realität – in manchen Ländern bereits im Einsatz. Doch was bringt die Technik wirklich? Welche Risiken gibt es für Umwelt und Artenvielfalt? Und wie weit darf Wissenschaft in natürliche Kreisläufe eingreifen? Der Parasitologe Niels Verhulst von der Universität Zürich klärt auf.

In this newscast, I look at the recent locally acquired malaria cases reported in North Queensland, Australia.

La malaria afecta a 260 millones de personas en el mundo y causa 600.000 muertes al año. El 94 por ciento de los casos se dan en el África subsahariana. Y tres de cada cuatro fallecidos son niños menores de cinco años. Costa de Marfil, con la ayuda de GAVI (organización internacional cuyo objetivo es mejorar el acceso a las vacunas y la inmunización en los países menos desarrollados), se ha convertido en el primer país africano en incluir la vacuna contra la enfermedad en su calendario de vacunación infantil. En "Más cerca" (Radio 5) hemos hablado con la investigadora del CSIC Margarita del Val, testigo directo de las primeras vacunaciones. Escuchar audio

Send us a textCould gene drive mosquitoes be the key to ending deadly diseases like malaria and dengue or do the risks outweigh the benefits? In this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks talks with Dr. Michael Santos about the controversial yet potentially groundbreaking technology known as gene drive. Unlike traditional genetically modified organisms, gene drive mosquitoes are engineered to pass on specific traits to nearly all of their offspring, drastically altering or suppressing mosquito populations that spread disease. With real-world field trials set to begin very soon, we dive into how this technology works, how it differs from standard genetic modification, what diseases it targets, and what could go wrong. We also explore how the trials will be conducted, regulated, and monitored to ensure safety and transparency.

On this week's podcast episode, we unpack U.S. President Donald Trump's 2026 budget request, which proposes sweeping cuts to foreign aid and includes the elimination of funding for major global health initiatives such as Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The administration has also submitted a $9.4 billion rescission proposal to the U.S. Congress, seeking to formally cancel previously approved funds, much of it earmarked for foreign assistance. If approved, the move would codify into law cuts already made by the Department of Government Efficiency. The upcoming congressional response will be a critical test of foreign aid advocacy. We also discuss what happened at last week's African Development Bank meetings in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, where delegates discussed the need to diversify funding sources in the wake of U.S. aid cuts and focus on more reliable partnerships. The meetings also marked a leadership transition, with Mauritania's Sidi Ould Tah appointed as the AfDB's new president, vowing to mobilize private sector investment and deepen partnerships with the Gulf states. To discuss these stories, Devex Senior Editor Rumbi Chakamba is joined by reporters Michael Igoe and Ayenat Mersie for this episode of This Week in Global Development.

00:45 Treating mosquitoes for malariaResearchers have developed two compounds that can kill malaria-causing parasites within mosquitoes, an approach they hope could help reduce transmission of the disease. The team showed that these compounds can be embedded into the plastics used to make bed nets, providing an alternative to insecticide-based malaria-control measures, which are losing efficacy in the face of increased resistance.Research article: Probst et al.10:42 Research HighlightsThe sunlight-powered device that can harvest drinkable water from desert air, and evidence that the world's richest people are disproportionately responsible for climate impacts.Research Highlight: Atacama sunshine helps to pull water from thin airResearch Highlight: The world's richest people have an outsized role in climate extremes13:02 The genetics that can lead to pregnancy lossResearchers have found specific genetic mutations that can lead to pregnancy loss. It's known that errors, such as the duplication of chromosomes, can lead to nonviable pregnancies but less has been known about non-chromosomal genetic errors. The new work identifies DNA sequence changes that can lead to a non-viable pregnancy. This may offer clinicians the ability to screen embryos for these changes to help avoid pregnancy loss.Research article: Arnadottir et al.22:24 Briefing ChatBespoke CRISPR-based therapy treats baby boy with devastating genetic disease, and the ‘anti-spice' compounds that can lower chillies' heat.Nature: World's first personalized CRISPR therapy given to baby with genetic diseaseNew Scientist: Chemists discover 'anti-spice' that could make chilli peppers less hotSubscribe to Nature Briefing, an unmissable daily round-up of science news, opinion and analysis free in your inbox every weekday.
