'Resistant malaria parasite appears in Thailand'
Malaria parasites resistant to multiple malaria drugs have emerged in parts of Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. Scientists warn that these parasites threaten the fight against malaria.
Earlier, Britain warned that a drug commonly used to treat malaria patients was no longer effective for the first time.
The malaria parasites appear to be immune to current treatments for the disease with artemisinin and piperaquine. The parasites are widespread across Cambodia and an even more resistant parasite is active in southern Laos and northeast Thailand.
A professor from Oxford and Mahidol University in Thailand who has researched the superparasites says humans may be losing the race to eliminate artemisinin-resistant parasites. The consequences of the spread of drug-resistant malaria parasites could be serious if we do not take swift global action.
Malaria is a disease caused by parasites. These can enter the body during a mosquito bite. Malaria causes fever, headache, chills and muscle aches. Malaria occurs regularly in the Netherlands. These are people who have contracted the disease in (sub)tropics.

Dear readers, this is a very serious message that should not be underestimated. Apply deed and sleep under a mosquito net; DOING !!!
Where can I get a mosquito net so quickly, and moreover, a mosquito net has to be hung on the ceiling anyway, and how do I get that done? Without damaging the ceiling at least not at all, I think. I want to be able to keep my sliding door open at night.
If you don't have a mosquito net you could buy one. This can be done in a physical store or via an online webshop.
The mosquito net can be hung up with an adhesive hook. It works much like a sticker you put on something and doesn't require any special skills. In the worst case, a glue residue remains after disassembly.
There are no known cases of sliding doors that no longer function after a mosquito net has been hung over a bed.
I placed a skeleton of a party tent over my bed and hung a mosquito net (mosquito net) over it.
Turn your bed into a kind of four-poster bed. A post on each corner, connected at the top with slats, and then fine net curtains all around. is also more practical than a mosquito net. Take the fabric well, not that tight stuff that it is tight. And, of course, almost always leave it closed.
Those mosquito nets that you attach to the ceiling are usually tapered, and that costs you quite a bit of freedom of movement.
Incidentally, I have one from the ANWB for hotels, 2-person and they are quite spacious. Almost everywhere they have a painting hanging on the wall. Go, paint off, hook on the mosquito net, and then around the bed.
Apply Deet or take a mosquito net. Both are duplicates.
Does it concern your own house, good hinges and locks and behind every door or window, toilet window, ventilation, a screen and maintain it because that stuff oxidizes. Be mindful of standing water outside the house, clean it up, or throw in a few drops of olive oil. Making fellow residents aware of closing the doors and that is the most difficult thing I have noticed.
I have lived here for 15 years and have never had a mosquito net or needed Deet in the house.

Does it also work to keep the fan on at night? A mosquito can't swim against that either.
I think mosquitoes like warm, humid, windless places with stagnant water to lay their eggs in. A traditional Thai washroom/toilet is therefore an ideal place for mosquitoes.
Lower the temperature in the (bed) room (then the air is also drier), stand/sit/lye in the air flow of the fan, do not leave any buckets/pots/pans with water.
