New studies provide evidence that malaria parasites resistant to the anti-malarial drug artemisinin have emerged along the Thai-Cambodian border, the World Health Organisation said Wednesday. The parasites could "seriously undermine" progress made in controlling the disease, which has been aided by increased use of artemisinin-based combination therapies. "If we do not put a stop to the drug-resistant malaria situation that has been documented in the Thai-Cambodia border, it could spread rapidly to neighbouring countries and threaten our efforts to control this deadly disease," said Hiroki Nakatani, the WHO's assistant director general.

PHNOM PENH - The quaterfinals of the top domestic football competition, the Samdech Hun Sen Cup, begin Saturday with Build Bright University - who scraped through the last round against Kiriong Sok Sen Chey on penalties - against defending champions Phnom Penh Crown in the 2pm kickoff slot at Olympic Stadium. The day's later fixture kicking off at 4:15pm sees last year's runners up Preah Khan Reach take on Post Tel Club who have already scored ten goals in the competition thanks to a demolition of Battambang Province in the previous round. Admission to the stadium is free and games are broadcast on TVK.
