Researchers have discovered a new compound that could be a threat to malaria virus and thus an effective tool to fight malaria. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine have shown that they can trick malaria-infected red blood cells into building up a volatile chemical stockpile that can be set off by luminol's glow. To achieve this the scientists gave infected red blood cells an unusual amino acid and used luminol's glow to trigger the chemical killing the parasite. Here are 6 other ways to prevent malaria. Senior author Daniel Goldberg said that the light that luminol emits was enhanced
