Transcript:<\/strong><\/h5>

Researchers have found that the global supply chain linked to deforestation leads to an increase in malaria prevalence. The study found that up to 20% of the malaria risk caused by deforestation is borne out of the international trade of commodities like coffee, timber, soybean and cocoa. Professor Manfred Lenzen, a senior author of the study, said that we ought to be \u2018more mindful of our consumption\u2019 and \u2018avoid buying from sources implicated with deforestation\u2019. The problem could be tackled, the report states, through demand-side initiatives, with greater emphasis on product labelling and certification.<\/p>

And scientists have identified the mechanism of action of clemastine, an antihistamine that inhibits multiple stages of the malaria parasite\u2019s lifecycle. The drug binds to and destabilises a protein called TCP-1 which is required for novel cytoskeletal protein folding. This is significant as it reduces the number of TCP-1 proteins across the parasite thus reducing its survival.<\/p>
