This is about a scientific article which appeared in Nature in October 2015.
Talking about scientific discovery what more would be better than the Nobel Prize winning discovery of developing therapies against parasitic infections. The winners of the prize were William C. Campbell, a microbiologist at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey; Satoshi Ōmura, a microbiologist at Kitasato University in Japan; and Youyou Tu, a pharmacologist at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in Beijing.
During the late 1970’s Campbell and Omura discovered compounds called Avermictins, which had the capacity to kill parasitic round worms. These round worms caused infections like river blindness and lymphatic filariasis. This particular compound were released into the market as Ivermictin. Ms Tu discovered Artemisinin a potent drug against malaria.
Earlier there was no proper treatment for malaria and the most common drug used for the treatment of malaria were chloroquine and quinine. Artemisinin was extracted from the worm wood plant Artemisia annua.
Omura along with William Campbell discovered Avermictins from soil bacteria and they were able to transform this particular compound into a drug which was potent in curing river blindness.
Both of the discoveries were very simple yet they had a profound impact in the lives of many people. The drugs were responsible for curing millions of people from the fatal disease like malaria and filariasis

Do you agree or support the discovery or activity presented in your article? Why or why not?
Yes, I do support the discovery because of the impact it had on millions of human life through different parts of the world. It can be called as the most important discovery against parasitic worms causing the deadly disease like malaria and lymphatic filariasis. Hence the discovery causes considerable interest.
