The reading and the lecture are both about Malaria that transfer by mosquitoes through sucking human blood which leads to killing an enormous number of people annually. More specifically, in regard to the passage, the writer presents three theories about the effective ways to dispose of these mosquitoes. The lecturer disputes the claims made in the article. His position is that none of these methods can completely diminish mosquitoes. First and foremost, the author of the reading states fighting malaria by providing patients with potent medicines by determining the strain of malaria. The article mentions that the next step is to know the most effective medicine and then provide them to people. This argument is challenged by the lecturer. He claims that there are medicines but no drugs till now for malaria because malaria gains immunity toward these cures. Additionally, he points out that if the next step did not work, so all medicines will be useless. Secondly, the author states killing mosquitoes using chemical sprays. In the article, it is said that the problem with the larvae so by emitting fish into the water may die. Again, the speaker specifically addresses this point when he states it is not a great idea because the spray is easy but the adult mosquitoes can fly, so they will not die at all. He goes on to say that the same problem will happen with larvae because fish will not reach all of them. Finally, the author brings his argument to a close by suggesting using the Sterile insect strategy by catching male mosquitoes and then exhibiting them to gamma rays, so the eggs of the females will not hatch. Not surprisingly, the professor takes issue with this claim by contending that it is an effective way but the problem the captured males will not mate as wild mosquitoes. He notes that the result the males will not mate enough.
