One agent often used to help treat the symptoms and invasion of malaria currently is "quinine" and is effective when used early in the disease process (Kiple 682).
IV. Proposed Development of Vaccine Against Causative Agent
Development of a vaccine against the causative agent will involve assessment and calculation of risk and current environmental exposure to the causative agent (Eisenberg et al., 2002). At present anti-malarial inoculations and medications are available in limited quantities to humans traveling to regions where malaria is prevalent (Eisenberg, et al., 2002). A proper vaccine will investigate further the exposure "scenario" and "transmission models" and aim to strengthen individual's immune systems, among populations most at risk for exposure to the Pathogen, as at this time it is virtually impossible to eliminate the Pathogen entirely (Eisenberg, et al., 2002; Haas, 1983). Research previously conducted suggests in those with strong immune system, exposure to low dose microorganisms including the Pathogen explored for purposes of this study, may result in effective vaccination or immunization from the disease (Haas, 1983).
Research into the efficacy of a possible vaccination...
Challenges in the response of public health in this area includes the following: 1) a lack of medical records or documentation of predeparture therapy; 2) Limited Medicaid reimbursement for therapy and follow-up care due to the lack of documentation; 3) Difficulty in securing the appropriate treatment since Malarone is not on the FDOH. A formulary; and 4) Initial difficulty in locating a Kirundi interpreter for the interviews. (Epi Update, 2008) VI. BARRIERS and MISCONCEPTIONS Barriers
Before this, malaria took place mainly in much the Western states of the Sub-Sahara Africa (Mark, 2002). For several decades, malaria has out-played war as a basis of human anguish. Over the preceding many decades it has taken away lives of millions of human beings, as well as, shattered the potency of hundreds of millions other human beings. It carries on to be an arduous nuisance on man's efforts to
The race between new drugs and new resistances has not stopped since then.... And in 1986, WHO's expert panel concluded that a magic solution could not be relied upon, and that furthermore, malaria patterns were determined by a variety of socioeconomic as well as biological, climatic and geographic factors. " (Banfield, 1998. p. 35) The article refers as well to the impact of malaria on the people of Kenya "...

Universal Consequentialism as a Means of Assessing Global Situations Poverty in developing countries is a significant moral issue. In terms of moral frameworks, a universal form of consequentialism most accurately assesses the (in)justice of such poverty and global situations of a similar scope. Specifically, universal consequentialism with an emphasis on equal consideration -- the belief that "benefits to one person matter just as much as similar benefits to any other person"
Nursing Community Assessment It is moral responsibility of the Government and the nursing organizations to maintain the health standard in any country. However, it is not wholly in the hands of these organizations but other departments must also contribute for this cause. This study is focused on the county of Astoria, Queens, New York for helping the nurses in doing their job in the right way. The study highlights the demographics, major
