Humans have been battling the tropical disease malaria since at least the late fourth century B.C. This debilitating and deadly disease is actually a parasite which reproduces in humans and is spread through the saliva of mosquitoes when they suck blood from humans. While there is still no cure for malaria, there are three main strategies that we hope will lead to the eradication of this disease which kills nearly half a million people around the world each year.
The first strategy is to fight the malaria parasite itself by treating patients with powerful prescription medicines. Patients are tested to determine which strain of the malaria parasite is present, as different areas of the world have different strains of the parasite. Then, an effective medicine is administered to combat the symptoms of the infection.
The second strategy is to kill the mosquitoes that transfer the parasite to humans. Killing the adult mosquitoes using chemical sprays is a common option, but the larvae of the mosquitoes can also be killed where they develop, in pools of warm, still water. These larvae can be killed using chemicals, but another popular approach is to release fish into the water that prey on the larvae such as guppies to eat the larvae before they mature into adults.
The third strategy is called the sterile insect technique. "Sterile" means the insect cannot reproduce. This strategy involves breeding and hatching millions of mosquitoes, sterilizing the males with low-level gamma rays, and then releasing them into the wild population. Females that mate with the sterile males produce eggs which do not hatch, and this causes the mosquitoes to die out. This strategy has been effective in wiping out a number of insect pests including the screw-worm and several types of fruit flies.
The reading and the lecture are both about methods to prevent spreading malaria disease. The author of the reading feels that there are some ways to eradicate this disease. The lecturer challanges the claims made by the author. He is of the opinion these theories are falce.
To begin with, the author argues that prescribtion of more powerful drugs facilitate getting cure of patients. If these medications will be given people by strain they have, treating all patients would be possible by targeting medicine about their strains. The lecturer, however, rebuts it by mentioning that within certain time period humans will generate tolerance to these drugs. His thought about it has been profoundly influenced by ineffectiveness of previous drugs, because they do not treat patients anymore.
Secondly, the writer suggests killing mosquitos might be other way to eliminate disease. She offers that by sprays that contain chemicals to kill mosquitoes and releasing some fish to sea that hunt their larvas would be helpful to decrease number of harmful mosquitoes. This specific arguement is challanged by the lecturer. He claims that because these mosquitoes are not stabile it is hard to reduce them with chemicals. Because of high number of larvas in the sea it is impossible to destroy all of them by foish as well.
Finally, the article posits that sterilizing of male mosquitoes will result declaring their offspring, that is why, spreading of infection will be reduced too, which is proved method on some fruitflies species. In contrast, the lecturer mentions that albeit previous success of this method on the fruit flies, the gama radiation cause to seem less attractive appear of males, therefore female mosquitoes do not enter fertilizing process with them. Therefore, this method is also uneffective.
