南昌流行性学翻译
原文:
Artepharm, a Cantonese medical drugs laboratory, has been engaged for the past few years in a remarkable venture against malaria, a health scourge that has long plagued humanity and has been responsible for every second human death since the Middle Ages.
Having developed a treatment partially based on a molecule with a Chinese origin, Artemisinin, Artepharm has been administrating it freely and systematically to the whole population of the Comoros, which is a small archipelago inhabited by 700.000 souls in the Indian Ocean West of Madagascar.
Backed by the local Comoros government, the drug firm began distributing Artemisinin to the 36.000 inhabitants of Moheli, one of the smaller islands in the archipelago. At the end of the campaign, after a few months, the result was dramatic: infection rates that had been as high as 90% in some villages were reduced by 95%. Artepharm then began enlarging the program to the whole population of Comoros. By November of 2014, the company could claim, according to Prof. Li Guoqiao, of Guangzhou University, one of this project’s fathers, that the disease had been eradicated in Comoros.

青蒿药业,是广东的一家医药企业,数年来,一直致力于消除疟疾。疟疾对人类的摧残已久,自中世纪以来,不断造成人类死亡。
青蒿药业利用源于中国的青蒿素研发出一种药物,并将其免费应用于所有科摩罗人的系统性治疗。科摩罗是位于印度洋马达加斯加西部的小群岛。
得到科摩罗当地政府的支持后,该药企开始向36000名莫埃利(群岛中较小的岛屿)居民发放青蒿素。几个月后,“战争”结束时,该药物的治疗效果非常显著:在部分村落高达90%的感染率降低了95%。随后,该项目范围扩展到全体科摩罗居民。截至2014年11月,根据广州大学李国桥教授(项目发起人之一)提供的信息,该公司声明,科摩罗的疟疾已彻底消除。
