科学家开发带有新药物的蚊帐,用于防治疟疾,在埃塞俄比亚进行实地测试。 Scientists develop bed nets with new drugs to combat malaria, set for field tests in Ethiopia.

来自哈佛西南研究所和OHSU的研究人员开发了蚊帐,提供抗疟药物 -- -- 类似Endochin Quinolones(ELQs) -- -- 以杀死蚊虫中造成疟疾的寄生虫。 Researchers from the Southwest Research Institute, Harvard, and OHSU have developed bed nets that deliver antimalarial drugs called Endochin-like Quinolones (ELQs) to kill malaria-causing parasites in mosquitoes. 这些药物通过蚊子的腿吸收,目的在于减少对传统杀虫剂和幼虫的抗药性。 The drugs, which are absorbed through the mosquitoes' legs, aim to reduce resistance to traditional pesticides and larvicides. 该研究报告在《自然》杂志上发表,其中建议,经处理的蚊帐可以提供一种更便宜、更长久的替代现有治疗的办法。 The study, published in Nature, suggests the treated nets could provide a cheaper and longer-lasting alternative to current treatments. 今年晚些时候计划在埃塞俄比亚进行实地测试。 Field tests in Ethiopia are planned for later this year.
