by mosquitoes who have been infected by
these certain parasites The United States witnesses hundreds of
cases each year, mainly brought in by travelers and immigrants around the
world. These travelers come from countries of Southeast Asia
or Africa The transmission of malaria happens when a mosquito feeds
on an infected person and then goes around and feeds again on some one
else causing a transfer of infected from one person to the next. In a recent
news article I read, about a team of scientist who could have potentially found
the cure for malaria in the aminopyridine class of drugs. This
drug has been tested for eighteen months where is had been going through
carious animal trials. The dynamic potential this pill has is huge.
Just imagine the number of people who will be aided by this miracle
drug. For centuries this disease has killed thousands of individuals and now it
will at least save 24 present of the children who
are suffering in Africa with this illness.
I think this research is great, but I'm not sure if it will necessarily 'fix' the problem. A statistic I pulled from the CDC stated that "an estimated 91% of deaths in 2010 were in the African Region." Many families do not have the money for nets, bedclothes, repellant. How will they afford treatment? If we could supply these preventative measures to families living in each region and provide education on the importance of each prevention method the numbers of infection could, in theory, drastically decrease. Prevention is key!
ReplyDeleteAs a suggestion, make sure you reread your post before publishing. You were quite repetitive in the beginning of the blog.
ReplyDeleteOther than this, did the article say how it 'cures' malaria? If so, is it only for those who have malaria already, or can it be used as a preventative pill?
I agree with Betsy, this is only good if those who need it can get their hands on it. If it's too expensive, then whats the point? They obviously contracted malaria because of lack of funding for any type of repellant.
ReplyDelete1. Proofread please.
ReplyDelete2. Can you give us a link to your source? My instinct is to doubt claims of "miracle drugs".
Thanks so pointing that out, I will do that.
