Resistance spread 'compromising' fight against malaria
Description: Scientists have found new evidence of increasing resistance to front-line treatments for malaria. They have confirmed that resistant strains of the malaria parasite on the border between Thailand and Burma have appeared 500 miles (800km) away from sites where it was previously detected. Researchers say that the rise of resistance means the effort to eliminate malaria has been seriously compromised. [Source: BBC News]
