Saw that. It is indeed promising. Godspeed to the researchers, as stopping this ancient scourge is truly "the Lord's work." There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Now we might have problem in Africa...with massive overpopulation " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins. When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar. Yours truly , Milan The Boarkiller - World according to Milan PS I have big boar on my floor...but it ain't dead, just scared to move... Man should be happy and in good humor until the day he dies... Only fools hope to live forever “ Hávamál” | |||

Yep, starvation and overpopulation are already at the breaking point. Add another million each year to the current situation and a solution becomes unobtainable and Malaria will be the least of their problems. We already had a solution to Malaria; it was called DDT. ___________________ Just Remember, We ALL Told You So. | |||

We sit out by our pool with friends quite often, having BBQs. We get quite a bit of mosquitoes sometimes, and my wife buys all sorts of mosquitos repellent, all environmentally friendly! I gave up on them, as most do not work. So I have a small bottle of 100% DEET. I spray a little bit on a wet wipe, and wipe it on all my exposed body. Never get a single bite! The kids love it too, because it works!  | |||

Yes and very effective it was until some bright spark announced it was toxic and be banned. Back in my day I never heard of anyone dying from having sprayed it in their houses and Tanzania had vast Pyrethrum fields and an extraction industry from which it manufactured its own insecticides for multiple uses. | |||

DDT was responsible for decimating the Bald Eagle population. It caused thinning of their egg shells. Jim "Bwana Umfundi" NRA | |||

Malaria kills 800,000 to one million people a year. It is estimated that it kills a child every 30 seconds or about 3000 children every day. Do the math - Malaria has killed more people than DDT killed Bald Eagles. Oh well... ___________________ Just Remember, We ALL Told You So. | |||

Malaria used to be present in North America. Washington's army at first refused to march from New England to Yorktown due to fear of it. Interesting question (to me anyway): When and how was malaria eradicated from NA? USMC Retired DSC Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member | |||

Malaria is African wildlife’s best friend. Only an idiot would eradicate it. Folks there is simply too many people in the world and growing. Kenya population in 1963 8.9 million. Today 53 million. | |||

D.D.T. was the salvation of our armed forces in WWII. Our troops were decimated in the Pacific and Mediterranean theaters by malarial mosquitos and lice. Untold tons of D.D.T. powder were distributed and dowsed on our men. Those that survived the war and the mundane mishaps of civilian life died of old age. Not D.D.T. Still, when ingested by birds, it does adversely affect the strength of eggshells. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

There was and is a huge politicization of DDT and the thinning of eggshells in raptors. It really depends upon who you want to believe. What we really know is that millions of people have been infected with malaria because DDT was taken off the market. Rachel Carson and her ilk doomed millions. | |||

Before the Colonial period, everything was in check. Tribal rivalries were discouraged. Diseases were eliminated. The population exploded. If you eliminate malaria, Africa's population will explode. There will be no more hunting. I know, not a cheery message. And maybe unkind. I don't want to eliminate malaria or the tsetse fly. | |||

+1. The day malaria and tsetse flies are controlled will be a day that lives in infamy for African wildlife. | |||
