Hello from Denmark, I was dx 4 years ago, and like you and many other PD I`m convinsed that one of the reasons -why we devellop PD- CAN be a traume (my husband died 10 years ago from a stroke 51 years old - and ONE year after I started to have problems with my right leg). I know when PD - symtoms start we have lost a lot of celles. I have often discussed it with my two neurologist, and I`m told from both that it can be possible, because as long as we don`t know the reason why we devellop PD - everything can be the reason. I know several people on the list who will NOT agree. :-) Sorry I don`t know anything about malaria. Best wishes Sonia Nielsen Denmark NEVER GIVE UP
