These 2 patients got a special pheumonia and its part of the gut microbiota but it can cause severe damage to the lungs. Most cases are in africa, and most deaths are in children under 5. We can stop the cycle using antimalarial drugs or control the vector. The first drug used to treat malaria called chloroquine. The start of the yellow bar shows when the drugs have been introducded. The timelines end because of resistance to the drugs. The (cid:272)urre(cid:374)t fro(cid:374)tli(cid:374)e drug is a (cid:272)o(cid:373)(cid:271)i(cid:374)atio(cid:374) therap(cid:455) usi(cid:374)g arti(cid:373)i(cid:272)i(cid:374)i(cid:374)e. it"s a (cid:449)o(cid:374)der drug that kills parasites very quickly within 1 day. Blue is sensitive parasites and pink is resistance parasites. Resistance was irst found in southeast asia and we are watching it spread west. Over time after drug treatment, the relative anundance of species is changing over time. In this infection, the patient is actually clearing their infection.
