(3) The Deadliest Decision You’ve Never Heard of - YouTube
▻https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJYfSfh7eWs

6 months ago I’d learned about a meeting in 1955, where 150 men met in a nondescript lecture hall in Mexico City, thinking they were going to save the world from malaria. In the aftermath of that meeting, 40 million people were dead.

I’d never seen this meeting written about or reported on, so I spent 6 months researching the untold history of this meeting, global health, the British Empire, colonial medicine, and everything else I could find about this meeting .

Plus de 500 % des précipitations mensuelles normales en septembre devraient tomber au cours de cet épisode, qui pourrait s’étendre sur deux semaines.

By #Luchuo_E._Bain and Reda Sadki The scoping review by Klepac et al. provides a comprehensive overview of codified academic knowledge about the complex interplay between climate change and a wide range of infectious diseases, including malaria and 20 neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). The review synthesized findings from 511 papers published between 2010 and 2023, revealing that the vast majority of studies focused on malaria, dengue, chikungunya, and leishmaniasis, while other NTDs were relatively understudied. The geographical distribution of studies also varied, with malaria studies concentrated in Africa, Brazil, China, and India, and dengue and chikungunya studies more prevalent in Australia, China, India, Europe, and the USA. One of the most striking findings of the review is (...)

Pendant ce temps-là, la #malaria - #paludisme pour son nom français - est en progression.

L’an dernier, 247 millions de personnes ont été infectées, contre 245 millions en 2020 et 232 millions en 2019, selon le dernier rapport de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (#OMS).

Si la maladie est rarement mortelle, les enfants de moins de 5 ans représentent 80 % des 619.000 décès recensés l’an dernier. « Pendant les deux ans de pic de la pandémie [2020 et 2021], les perturbations liées au Covid ont conduit à 13 millions de cas supplémentaires de malaria et 63.000 décès additionnels », estime l’OMS. Le paludisme est dû à un #parasite transmis par les moustiques infectés. Il a officiellement disparu d’Europe depuis 2014 et de Chine depuis l’an dernier. L’Inde concentre toujours 79 % des 5,4 millions de cas enregistrés en Asie du Sud-Est, où la maladie a progressé l’an dernier (+400.000 en un an).

Mais c’est l’#Afrique qui représente 95 % des cas et 96 % des décès. Quatre pays concentrent près de la moitié des cas au monde : le #Nigeria, 26,6 % (31,3 % des décès, 38,4 % pour ceux des enfants de moins de 5 ans), la #République_démocratique_du_Congo (12,3 % des cas), l’#Ouganda (5,1 %) et le #Mozambique (4,1 %). L’Afrique reste très loin des objectifs de la Stratégie mondiale 2016-2030 de lutte contre le paludisme. L’OMS espérait y réduire le taux de mortalité et l’incidence de la maladie de 40 % en 2020 comparé à 2015, et l’an dernier, le continent était « en deçà des objectifs, de 45 % et 47 % respectivement », reconnaît l’organisation.

One dose of an antibody drug safely protected healthy, non-pregnant adults from malaria infection during an intense six-month malaria season in Mali, Africa, a National Institutes of Health clinical trial has found. The antibody was up to 88.2% effective at preventing infection over a 24-week period, demonstrating for the first time that a monoclonal antibody can prevent malaria infection in an endemic region. These findings were published today in The New England Journal of Medicine and presented at the American Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene 2022 Annual Meeting in Seattle.

Burundi’s humanitarian crisis: An inconvenient truth for the ruling party

With less than a year to Burundi’s presidential election, aid workers and political analysts say the ruling party is intent on projecting an image of stability, while downplaying the extent of a #malaria outbreak, food shortages, and growing political violence.

Les chercheurs de l’université du Maryland, aux États-Unis, ont identifié un #champignon appelé Metarhizium pingshaense, qui infecte naturellement les #moustiques qui propagent le #paludisme. Dans un essai mené au Burkina Faso, ce champignon génétiquement modifié a fait disparaître 99% des populations de moustiques en 45 jours.

Pour renforcer les pouvoirs de ce champignon, les chercheurs se sont tournés vers une toxine trouvée dans le venin d’une espèce d’araignée australienne. Ils ont génétiquement modifié le champignon pour qu’il fabrique cette toxine à l’intérieur du moustique.

*A question of consent: Exterminator mosquitoes in Burkina Faso", ETC group

Target Malaria, a research consortium funded largely by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Open Philanthropy Project, aims to introduce ’gene drive’ mosquitoes in Burkina Faso supposedly to eliminate malaria. Gene drives are new gene-editing tools that can force genetically engineered traits, including extinction traits, through entire populations of insects, plants, animals and other organisms. As a first stage in their experiment, Target Malaria will release 10 000 genetically engineered mosquitoes in two villages in Burkina Faso. The film, “A Question of Consent: Exterminator Mosquitoes in Burkina Faso” documents conversations with residents of the areas where Target Malaria is conducting tests, as well as opposition from civil society groups in the region.
