An anopheles mosquito specimen sample sits under the microscope during a demonstration of the U.S. Army’s medical technology development and modernization efforts, Fort Detrick, Md., Feb 23, 2023. Anopheles mosquitos transmit malaria, a worldwide public health concern – according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, malaria caused an estimated 241 million clinical episodes and 627,000 deaths worldwide in 2020. The U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity’s Warfighter Protection and Acute Care Project Management Office was integral in the development of Malaria Treatment Drug Intravenous Artesunate (MTD-IVAS) – MTD-IVAS is the only FDA-approved treatment for severe malaria.
