Australian Initiative for Malaria (AIM)

疟疾是一个主要的全球健康问题，每年有5亿人感染，200万至300万人死亡。澳大利亚在疟疾研究方面具有非凡的能力，人均发表的论文比任何其他国家都多。澳大利亚疟疾倡议将把这一临界质量整合成一个更强大、更有凝聚力的单位，能够更好地利用疟疾研究的新发展，并使我们能够解决疟疾给我们地区带来的巨大问题。我们将把我们的研究专长与巴布亚新几内亚、东帝汶、所罗门群岛、印度尼西亚和泰国的区域实验室结合起来。

Malaria is a major global health problem with 500 million people infected and 2-3 million deaths per year. Australia has an extraordinary capacity in malaria research publishing more papers per capita than any other country. The Australian Initiative for Malaria will weld this critical mass into a stronger and more cohesive unit better able to capitalise on new developments in malaria research and will allow us to tackle the enormous problem malaria presents to our region. We will integrate our research expertise with regional laboratories in PNG, E Timor, Solomon Is, Indonesia and Thailand.
