News and current affairs

Likewise, global warming will probably slightly increase malaria, but CO2 reductions will be far less effective at fighting this disease than mosquito nets and medication, which can cheaply save 850,000 lives every year.

Our analysis investigated, for example, the merits of more targeted policies for the near term: purchasing mosquito-resistant bed nets and oral re-hydration malaria therapy for children in the poorest nations affected by climate change.

Consider, similarly, the death and illness caused by malaria, which can be reduced very sharply through the use of mosquito nets for beds and anti-malaria medicines.

The mosquito nets ubiquitous in my childhood disappeared from urban houses by the time I was at university in the late 1950s.

Malaria poses a unique challenge, owing in large part to Africa's mosquito species, which are especially adept at transmitting the disease.

Malaria can be controlled through newly designed long-lasting mosquito nets and a new generation of effective medicines.

Using genetic-engineering techniques, the British company Oxitec has created new varieties of the mosquito species that transmit dengue fever.

But presenting the facts in a reasonable manner, as Florida mosquito-control authorities have attempted to do, has not been enough to change opponents' minds.

In parts of Nigeria, a person can expect to be bitten by an infective mosquito carrying malaria up to 300 times in a year, while I am pretty much assured that no mosquito will give me malaria in Boston.

Extreme heat also limits mosquito survival.

Other factors--declines in mosquito-control and other public health programs, or rising drug and pesticide resistance--could be involved.

In a malaria-infested country, mosquito eradication programs can boost production and even increase effective land usage, as acres that were almost uninhabitable become livable.

They heard from health experts who said that communicable diseases were rampant and that mosquito nets would be a great way to combat malaria.

This approach dismisses an old, cheap, and safe way to control the vector - the Anopheles mosquito - that spreads the disease: the chemical DDT.

With DDT unavailable, many mosquito-control authorities are depleting their budgets by repeated spraying with short-acting, marginally effective insecticides.

First, governments should re-evaluate the voluminous data on DDT that have been compiled since the 1970's, and they should make DDT available immediately for mosquito control indoors.

Effective strategies are cheap and simple: it's mostly a question of getting what's needed (micronutrients, cleaner forms of fuel, free condoms, mosquito nets) to those in need.
