Melinda Gates iremos testar uma possível forma <strong>de</strong><br />
bloquear a infecção pelo parasita que causa a malária.<br />
O que <strong>de</strong>scobrirmos po<strong>de</strong>rá servir <strong>de</strong> base a novas<br />
terapias mais acessíveis para combater os efeitos<br />
graves que a infeção com Plasmodium provoca em<br />
crianças. Esperamos po<strong>de</strong>r concretizar estas aplicações<br />
