Abstract
Zika, Ebola, Bird Flu, HIV, etc. are todays murderers. However, malaria is the ancient, todays and futures’ slaughterer. The main measures that are in action to minimize malarias distractions can be grouped into 3 options: prompting diagnoses and treatment with anti-malaria drugs; eliminating the vector by different measures; and preventing-vaccination.
By such measures the burden of malaria infection decreases, but yet not eradicated. Instead, may appear some genetically modified plasmodium and mosquito itself!
For postulating our new idea on minimizing such dangerous tendencies, since June 2016, through social media and seminar, we deal with stakeholders on the following: if anopheles couldn’t suck infected blood during its lifespan, it will die without transmitting the disease to a healthy person.
Hence, temporary dislocate the patient from the area, where the mosquito population is high, not only more effective than using only bed nets or killing the anopheles, but also gives extra dozens advantages. Half of them:
Controllable treatment
Skilling-training the patient for his futurity
Infectiously weakened person may have reliefs from his ridged situation - mostly a place where mosquito habitat is not suitable even for healthy people.
If dual strand phenomenon happens, patient’s condition will be worsening.
Consequences of plasmodium adaptation (modification) inside its host!
We should have to consider the right of non-infected people. They have also a right not to be infected by malaria!
Thus along with other methods of malaria control activities, we should try the mentioned new option.
During the presentation, we can show:
lack of sufficient awareness not only in developing countries but also of developed.
Revealing the drawbacks of the above mentioned 3 options that world is using to eradicate malaria
Drawbacks that are performed by NGOs (those who involve in malaria eradicating activities)
Detail plan of realizing our 4th options project
propose 2-3 chemical agents, which may distract the life cycle of the vector
