As defined by Noah Butler, PhD and University of Iowa, "Malaria is chronic, prolonged infection and the host immune defense has a tough time clearing it and sometimes it never clears it." It has recently been discovered that it has even more devastating affects.

Researchers examined this tested a mouse, and were able to cure it bloodstream infections.
