STAT Plus: Scientists hope to strike malaria where it lives — in mosquitoes — with a deadly fungus but without fireworks
By IKE SWETLITZ

CDC
When discovered over a hundred years ago, the fungus was simply called “insect killer.” Now, scientists want to enlist the spores in the fight against malaria.

Researchers have been using fungal spores to wage war against insects for over a hundred years, mostly targeting agricultural pests like the wheat cockchafer in Russia and the pine moth caterpillar in China. These alien-like fungi largely ignore human beings but eagerly burrow through the chitinous exoskeletons of insects and eat the arthropods from the inside out.

Opinion: Why cities may hold the key to living longer, healthier lives
By THOMAS R. FRIEDEN

STAN HONDA/AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Around the world, noncommunicable diseases — including heart disease, cancer, and diabetes — and injuries from traffic crashes and other causes kill 44 million people a year. In fact, these illnesses and accidents kill more people than communicable diseases such as AIDS, tuberculosis, or malaria.
