The drug ivermectin was shown to have reduced malaria cases by more than 25 percent in a randomized trial carried out in Africa, according to a study recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
The authors of the paper said ivermectin, which saw its popularity increase during the COVID-19 pandemic, can kill mosquitoes that feed on people who have been treated with the drug. Due to the prevalence of mosquito-borne illnesses, ivermectin could be a novel solution for dealing with the transmission of malaria, they said.
