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.
Both the reading and lecture discuss about the tropoical disease malaria. Former states three strategies to eradicate malaria and latter take the oppsite position and argues that these strategies are not effective enough to eradicate malaria.
First of all, the author of the reading prescribes medicine to treat malaria patients from various strain of this parasite. However, the lecturer counters this by saying that these drugs are not effective anymore. He provides the examples of frequently used drugs for curing patients which are adapted by various strain of malaria and don't work as to cure malaria patients.
Secondly, the author claims that malaria can be eradicate by killing mosquitoes and its habitats. But the lecturer opposes this by saying that we can't reach enough to killl mosquitoes by spraying. He says that mosquitoes can fly more than by catch it through spraying and it's same for using fish to eat larvae.
Finally, the reading talks about sterile insect technique where make mosquitoes unable to reproduced their decendents. On the other hand, the lecturer thinks otherwise by claiming that sterile male mosquitoes cann't mate with female mosquitoes as before. And, sterile male mosquitoes may be more unattarctive than before unsteriled. So, the cannot mate with female as before and low-gamma rays may make them more unlikely to mate with their counterpart to reproduction. That's why third startegies also not as effective as with other two.
