The reading and the lecture are both about the solutions to eradicate the disease of malaria. The author of the article feels that three main strategies could lead to the eradication of malaria. However, the lecturer disputes the claims made in the text. His position is that the three main strategies mentioned in the reading seem very unlikely.
According to the reading, one strategy that could fight the malaria parasite is treating patients with potent doses of prescription medicines. The article mentions that testing patients could identify the strain of parasites present in malaria since they have different origins. Therefore, the author states that this could be a way to combat the symptoms and find a suitable medicine to cure this infection. The lecturer challenges this specific argument. He claims that there are no drugs that could completely cure malaria. He specifically points out that most mosquitoes are already immune to the available drugs.
Secondly, the author suggests the second strategy to wipe out the mosquitoes that transfer parasites to humans. The author suggests common ways of using chemical sprays or releasing fish populations into the water that prey on the larvae before they grow into adults. The lecturer, however, asserts that adult mosquitoes can fly and that it would be strenuous and unlikely to reach all of the population.
Finally, the author posits the third strategy of using "Sterile" to prevent insects from reproducing. It leads the females that mate with sterile males to produce eggs that do not hatch. The author suggests that this would cause the mosquitoes to die out and that this strategy has wiped out numerous other insects. The lecturer's stance is that although this is effective and harmless for humans, sterilized males do not mate enough to make the mosquitoes die out. As a result, he observes that this method would be ineffective in eradicating an abundance of mosquitos.
To sum up, although both the reading and listening passages talk about procedures to reduce the chances of malaria by decreasing the number of mosquitoes, they conclude with conflicting views and details. Moreover, the sources will have difficulty finding common ground on the matters, and the comments made by the speaker effectively challenge the writer.
