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 passage discusses three strategies to diminish malaria disease however, the lecturer does not agree with the strategies provided in the passage. He contradicts each of three strategies with details as follows.
First of all, determining a strain of malaria and treating patients with strong medicines is not feasible as per the lecturer because there was not a single drug present to cure malaria disease. Additionally, traditional drugs like chloromorphin and mythomorphin are also not effective nowadays because parasites build a strong immune system to fight against these drugs which eventually fails the first strategy.
Secondly, the text claims that mosquitos causing malaria should be killed using a chemical spray on them or places where they are found abundantly. In contrast, the teacher states that it is difficult to find all mosquitos and kill them using chemical spray and that is why this strategy also not going to destroy species causing malaria.
Finally, the paragraph asserts that implementation of sterile technique and stop reproduction of mosquitos. On the other hand, the lecturer argues that the sterile technique will not work effectively because the sterile male mosquitos are not going to mate with female mosquitos. Female mosquitos may not get attracted towards the sterile mosquito instead they mate with non-sterile male mosquitoes and reproduce other malaria-causing mosquitos.
