There is a strange and deadly outbreak in a small town near the Laos in North-Eastern Cambodia.

Although the Cambodian government says they have the abberant mosquito population under control, one has to wonder.

This varient of malaria has a 100% mortality rate, with victims dying within two days.
That isn’t the odd part. After death, the virus/parisite deposited in the human host restarts the heart of the dead body for up to two hours. The deceased contorts in violent ways.

General Ary Serey had this to say, “We have obtained samples of this new parasite and plan to learn how it starts the heart and other major organs of the deceased. We intend to use this to increase the quality of life for all.”

US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice opposed the plan saying that the Cambodian government holds a great biological weapon and should destroy it immediately. Cambodian officials have yet to comment.

A United Nations team will be dispatched to Cambodia to confirm the safety of biological research in Cambodia.

Reseach run amuck? Environmental factors? Natural phenonenom? Unknown trans species contamination?

One million people die each year from various strains of malaria. A side trade of fake drugs has sprung up in the most vulnerable areas.
