Drug targets in malaria parasites

疟疾在我们整个区域肆虐，阻碍了我们邻国的经济，削弱了区域繁荣与稳定。部署在该地区的澳大利亚安全和援助人员感染疟疾，全球变暖可能会将携带疟疾的蚊子带到悉尼南部。澳大利亚在疟疾研究方面处于领先地位，在疫苗和药物开发方面取得了领先的发现。然而，我们缺乏关键的资源来研究这种寄生虫在其生命周期的蚊子阶段。联合会研究金将创建一个疟疾蚊子设施，以弥补我们能力方面的这一关键差距。通过加强我们保护自己和支持邻国的能力，该研究金将成为对外援助投资的两倍。

Malaria is rampant throughout our Region and hinders the economies of our neighbours reducing regional prosperity and stability. Australian security and aid personnel deployed in the Region contract malaria infections and global warming could bring malaria-carrying mosquitoes south to Sydney. Australia is pre-eminent in malaria research, making lead discoveries in vaccine and drug development. However, we lack crucial resources to study the parasite in the mosquito phase of its life cycle. The Federation Fellowship will create a malaria mosquito facility to redress this crucial gap in our capability. The Fellowship will double as foreign aid investment by enhancing our capacity to protect ourselves as well as supporting our neighbours.
