If you’re planning a trip to South East Asia, take note. An evolved form of malaria which is resistant to anti-malaria medication is spreading at an “alarming global rate,” according to scientists. The parasite was first documented in Cambodia but quickly migrated to other regions. Researchers predict mass casualties should the “super malaria” spread to Africa, where over 90 percent of cases occur. This “super malaria” is more dangerous than the original malaria parasite, as it cannot be killed with the main anti-malaria drugs.
