One method of spreading the anti-parasitic malaria cure is to use it in mosquito nets instead of insecticide. Another is to release quite a small amount of mosquitos genetically modified with genes from the honeybee and the African clawed frog, which blocks normal growth of the malaria parasite inside the mosquito. These attractive folks breed with the existing mosquito population, spreading malaria immunity msn.com/en-gb/health/other/why #GM #genes #malaria #DiseasePrevention #BillAndMelindaGates

In a second crucial step, researchers use another genetic technique to ensure all the offspring of the GM mosquitoes carry the same anti-malaria trait. Dr Windbichler said the technique meant only a relatively small number of modified mosquitoes would need to be released into the wild for the whole population to effectively become malaria resistant. "The trait is self-propagating,” he said. "Over time it will get more and more common in the population. "It will also spread geographically so that eventually every malaria transmitting mosquito in Africa could carry this." The research is being done in collaboration with scientists in Tanzania and is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

"Asterisk magazine commissioned expert forecasts of the likely effects of cuts to five broad USAID efforts: PEPFAR (the HIV/AIDS relief effort), anti-malaria programs, anti-tuberculosis programs, nutrition programs, and programs on water, sanitation, and hygiene. These forecasts go deep on the details, but just to share the topline:"

Dieser kleine Pieks rettet Leben – die Malaria-Impfung ist da!
Vor allem auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent bedroht die #Malaria nach wie vor Millionen Menschenleben. Aber: Nach jahrzehntelanger, auch vom #BMBF unterstützter Forschung, steht auch dort der erste zugelassene Impfstoff zur Verfügung. Ein großer Durchbruch für die globale Gesundheit – doch die Arbeit geht weiter!

Auf dem Bild ist ein Ausschnitt der Weltkarte zu sehen. Der Text lautet: Das gefährlichste Tier für den Menschen ist die Mücke. Durch Mückenstiche wird zum Beispiel Malaria übertragen, an der etwa 600.000 Menschen pro Jahr sterben. Die Fortschritte in der medizinischen Forschung machen jedoch Hoffnung.

Africa: Malaria Is an African Problem and Africa Must Find the Solution: [Namibia Economist] Africa still bears the brunt of the global malaria burden, with 94% of cases occurring on the continent. According to the World Health Organisation's (WHO) 2024 World Malaria Report, approximately two thirds of global malaria cases and deaths are concentrated in 11 African countries: Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Democratic… newsfeed.facilit8.network/TKLC #Malaria #AfricaHealth #GlobalHealth #WHO #PublicHealth
