Researchers have made a major breakthrough in the international fight against malaria, which claims the life of a child across the world every 30 seconds. Scientists have been able to deactivate the final stage of the malaria parasite's digestive machinery, effectively starving the parasite of nutrients and disabling its survival mechanism. This process of starvation leads to the death of the parasite.
