Malaria reduction in Comoros

Ed Harris, “Chinese Researchers Claim Comoros Malaria Success,” Reuters, 11 March 2008.

Artequick, a malarial drug based on the Artemisia shrub, has reduced malaria cases from 23% to 1.4% within 60 days on the Moheli island of Comoros. Four doses were given to the 40,000 people living on the island in November as part of a project led by May Lee of China’s Guangzhou University of Traditional Medicine.

Currently, Artequick is under clinical trials in Cambodia.
