. . . During their research, the team collected a total of 50 promising plants. . . . As of now, no other details have been released by the team as to why they think that these species . . . might cure (or help prevent?) malaria. —Levi Novey, “Potential Cure for Malaria Discovered in Rainforests of Costa Rica,” EcoLocalizer, September 18, 2008 TROPICAL REGIONS ARE PARTICULARLY FERTILE areas for disease because of the many insects that breed and thrive there. Tropical medicine is the most dangerous and least lucrative of all medical practices. Patients live far away in jungles and near swamps. They are poorly educated, have little money for medical bills, no insurance, and barely enough food or water to survive. They are exposed to horrific diseases that often have no cure, and of which most of us have never heard. One of them is African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, which infects half a million people annually and kills 50,000. Visceral leishmaniasis, transmitted by sandflies, afflicts 1.5 million every year, giving them skin ulcers and potentially massive tissue destruction, and is 90 percent fatal if untreated.
