What Is Malaria?
The word malaria comes from 18th century Italian mala meaning "bad" and aria meaning "air". Most likely, the term was first used by Dr. Francisco Torti, Italy, when people thought the disease was caused by foul air in marshy areas. It was not until 1880 that scientists discovered that malaria was a parasitic disease which is transmitted by the anopheles mosquito. The mosquito infects the host with a one-cell parasite called plasmodium. Not long after they found out that Malaria is transmitted from human-to-human through the bite of the female mosquito, which needs blood for her eggs.

Health Canada Approves Innovotech Application For AgressTM Field Testing

The Pest Management Regulatory Agency of Health Canada has granted Innovotech (TSV VENTURE:IOT) a Research Authorization for large-scale field trials for the 2009 season to test its novel seed treatment, AgressTM. This Research Authorization provides growers with an opportunity to assess the real-world ability of AgressTM to fight bacterial disease and its ease of use. In conjunction with cooperating growers, dry beans treated with AgressTM have been planted on farms in Alberta. "These large-scale field trials give us an opportunity to test AgressTM on a commercial scale that would be used by a grower," says Damian Sowa, Product Manager, Innovotech. "We will also use the trials to validate our small plot results that showed AgressTM to be a superior and long sought replacement for Streptomycin in bacterial infestations of beans." Research is currently underway to expand the applications of AgressTM to include the major crops in North America and additional disease classes. Innovotech Inc
