Podcasts about Aedes

Solução criada por uma startup do Tocantins atrai o mosquito Aedes aegypti e infecta ele com um fungo que reduz seu tempo de vida e capacidade de transmitir doenças.Neste episódio do podcast de Biotech and Health, Camila Pepe e Carolina Abelin conversam com o professor e doutor em Engenharia da Produção e Sistemas, Ivo Sócrates Moraes, um dos criadores da ferramenta. Ivo explica como foi para desenvolver a armadilha, como ela funciona e seus benefícios, já que a expectativa de vida do mosquito infectado diminui em 83%.O Aedes aegypti é o principal vetor dA transmissão de doenças como dengue e Zika. Dados do Ministério da Saúde dão conta que só no ano passado foram registrados mais de 1 milhão e 600 mil casos de dengue no Brasil e 1793 mortes confirmadas.

A Secretaria de Saúde de Lauro Müller realiza nesta quarta-feira (10) uma ação de varredura e conscientização contra o mosquito Aedes aegypti, transmissor da dengue, zika e chikungunya. A mobilização acontece nas regiões do Centro, Sumaré e Bela Vista, com visitas domiciliares realizadas por agentes de endemias e agentes comunitários de saúde. Durante a ação, as equipes percorrem as residências para orientar os moradores, identificar possíveis criadouros do mosquito e distribuir materiais informativos sobre as medidas de prevenção. O objetivo é reforçar a participação da comunidade no combate à dengue, eliminando locais que possam acumular água. De acordo com o agente de endemias Edson Mazzucco, o município registra atualmente entre cinco e seis focos do mosquito, distribuídos em diferentes localidades, como os bairros Guatá, Barreiro e a região central. Em anos anteriores, também foram identificados focos no bairro Arizona, demonstrando que o problema não está concentrado em uma única área da cidade. Mazzucco destaca que o trabalho do poder público precisa ser acompanhado pelo compromisso da população. Segundo ele, cada morador deve manter seus terrenos e quintais limpos, evitando recipientes que possam acumular água e servir de ambiente para a reprodução do mosquito. O agente explicou ainda que, sempre que um foco é identificado, é realizada uma varredura em um raio aproximado de 300 metros. Após cerca de dois meses, uma nova vistoria é feita na mesma região para verificar se o problema foi eliminado ou se novas medidas precisam ser adotadas. Mesmo com a chegada do inverno, a orientação é para que os cuidados sejam mantidos. Conforme Mazzucco, o monitoramento realizado por meio de armadilhas permite acompanhar a presença do mosquito, mas o descarte inadequado de lixo e objetos que acumulam água pode favorecer o surgimento de novos focos, aumentando o risco de proliferação durante o verão. Edson Mazzucco participou de entrevista no jornalismo da Rádio Cruz de Malta, em conversa com o repórter Álvaro Souza, reforçando o apelo para que toda a população faça sua parte no combate à dengue e mantenha seus imóveis livres de possíveis criadouros do mosquito.

A virus rarely “comes out of nowhere.” More often, we build the bridge it crosses. We're talking One Health through two vivid case studies, Machupo virus and Zika virus, and the shared thread connecting them: land use change and the human decisions that reshape ecosystems faster than they can adapt.First, we break down Machupo, a New World arenavirus that causes Bolivian hemorrhagic fever. We walk through how spillover happens from a rodent reservoir, why the early symptoms can look like so many other infections, and why basic questions about travel history and animal exposure can change everything when a clinician is determining a diagnosis. Then we zoom out to the bigger drivers: Bolivia's mid-century land reform, land clearance, deforestation, and how agricultural practices and predator loss can boost rodent populations and increase human exposure to them.Next, we shift to Zika, a flavivirus spread by Aedes mosquitoes that became headline news once it reached the Americas. We talk global travel and trade, why Zika felt “new” even though it wasn't, and the public health stakes of congenital complications such as microcephaly. We also dive into  how humans create environments mosquitoes thrive in like tires, plant pots, buckets, and other containers that create breeding sites right alongside our homes, plus how climate variation can push mosquito ranges into new regions.If you care about outbreak prevention, environmental health, deforestation, and the real-world mechanics of zoonotic spillover and vector-borne disease, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, Michael tackles two seemingly unrelated topics: a proposed plan to release genetically modified mosquitoes in Florida and California, and the myth of the impending climate apocalypse. Michael takes a critical look at the facts behind these issues, separating fact from fiction and myth from reality. The conversation starts with a discussion about a plan to release 32 million genetically modified mosquitoes in an effort to control the invasive Aedes aegypti species, which is resistant to traditional pesticides. Michael argues that this method, known as the Sterile Insect Technique, has a 77-year track record of success and is not a new or unproven technology. He also points out that the opposition's concerns are misplaced, as the technique has been used successfully in the past to eradicate other pests. Michael then shifts gears to discuss the topic of climate change, specifically the idea that we can simply "unplug" from the global oil market to control gas prices. He argues that this is not a viable solution, as oil prices are set by the global market, not by individual countries. He uses the analogy of a giant lake to explain how oil is traded globally, and how the US is already the largest producer in the world. Michael also touches on the topic of climate change scenarios, specifically the worst-case scenario known as RCP 8.5, which has been widely publicized as a reason for alarm. However, Michael reveals that the scenario's authors have since admitted that it is implausible, and that the scenario was falsified by reality almost as soon as it was written. Michael encourages listeners to tune in to hear more about this topic and to learn how to separate fact from fiction in the discussion around climate change. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in critical thinking, climate change, and the importance of separating fact from fiction. Michael's unique perspective and expertise make for a engaging and informative conversation that will leave listeners with a new understanding of these complex topics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A preocupação com a dengue voltou a acender o alerta em Lauro Müller após o registro de novos focos do mosquito Aedes aegypti em comunidades do município. Nos últimos dias, a localidade de Barreiros passou a ser monitorada com maior atenção depois da confirmação do terceiro foco identificado em um curto período de tempo, situação que mobilizou equipes da Vigilância em Saúde e reforçou o alerta à população. De acordo com informações divulgadas pelo setor, agentes de combate às endemias e agentes comunitários de saúde intensificaram as vistorias nas áreas consideradas mais críticas, realizando visitas domiciliares, orientações aos moradores e ações de eliminação de possíveis criadouros do mosquito transmissor da dengue. Segundo o agente de combate a endemias de Lauro Müller, Edson Mazzucco, o município possui atualmente quatro focos confirmados do mosquito. Um deles foi identificado entre os bairros Centro e Sumaré, onde as revisões já foram realizadas e, até o momento, a situação está controlada. No entanto, a maior preocupação está concentrada na comunidade de Barreiros, onde três focos foram encontrados na mesma região. Conforme Mazzucco, o fato indica que os mosquitos estão circulando naquela área, elevando o risco de proliferação caso existam recipientes com água parada, lixo acumulado ou sucatas expostas. “O maior problema seria no Barreiros, porque estamos com três focos no mesmo local. Isso mostra que os mosquitos estão sobrevoando aquela área. Se acontecer de encontrarmos focos em lixo ou recipientes com água, aí a situação complica, porque podemos ter uma infestação”, alertou. O agente explicou ainda que os focos foram localizados em armadilhas instaladas estrategicamente para monitorar a presença do mosquito. As revisões continuam sendo realizadas de forma periódica, especialmente em áreas consideradas mais vulneráveis. A Vigilância em Saúde reforça que o apoio da comunidade é fundamental para impedir o avanço da dengue no município. “A população precisa ajudar. Somente os servidores não dão conta. Cada morador tem a responsabilidade de cuidar do seu terreno e eliminar qualquer recipiente que possa acumular água”, destacou Mazzucco. Paralelamente às ações em Barreiros, a Prefeitura de Lauro Müller também divulgou um cronograma de revisão dos focos de dengue no distrito de Guatá. As ações estão programadas para os dias 20 de maio, 24 de junho e 15 de julho, sempre às 8 horas da manhã, com acompanhamento dos agentes comunitários de saúde.

Limbah kaca atau Glass Waste merupakan material kaca yang sudah tidak terpakai, pecah, atau menjadi sisa produksi yang dibuang karena tidak lagi memiliki nilai guna bagi pemiliknya. Secara teknis, kaca adalah material anorganik padat yang dibuat melalui proses peleburan campuran pasir silika, soda abu, dan batu kapur pada suhu yang sangat tinggi. Karakteristik utama limbah ini adalah sifatnya yang non-biodegradable, artinya kaca tidak dapat diuraikan oleh mikroorganisme di alam meskipun terkubur selama ribuan tahun. Limbah kaca yang tidak dikelola dengan benar menyimpan risiko fisik yang signifikan terhadap keselamatan manusia dan hewan di lingkungan sekitar. Bahaya paling nyata berasal dari sifat mekanisnya; pecahan kaca memiliki tepian yang sangat tajam dan tidak mudah tumpul meskipun terpapar cuaca dalam waktu lama. Di area permukiman atau fasilitas umum, pecahan botol, cermin, atau kaca jendela yang berserakan dapat menyebabkan luka sayat dalam, laserasi, hingga pendarahan hebat bagi pejalan kaki atau petugas kebersihan yang tidak menggunakan alat pelindung diri yang memadai. Selain itu, limbah kaca yang menumpuk di lahan terbuka dapat bertindak sebagai lensa sferis. Melalui efek teodolit atau konsentrasi cahaya matahari, serpihan kaca bening dapat memfokuskan panas ke titik tertentu pada material mudah terbakar seperti daun kering atau plastik, yang berpotensi memicu kebakaran hutan atau lahan secara spontan di musim kemarau. Dari perspektif kesehatan masyarakat dan ekosistem, limbah kaca menimbulkan ancaman jangka panjang yang bersifat tidak langsung namun berbahaya. Karena sifatnya yang anorganik dan tidak dapat terurai (non-biodegradable), botol atau wadah kaca yang terbuang di selokan atau lahan kosong seringkali memerangkap air hujan, menciptakan genangan air statis yang menjadi sarang ideal bagi nyamuk Aedes aegypti untuk berkembang biak, sehingga meningkatkan risiko penyebaran penyakit demam berdarah (DBD) yang cepat menular.

Tiny black mosquitoes biting Houston homeowners indoors during the day are rarely the common nuisance species.

As arboviroses voltam a acender o alerta no Brasil, impulsionadas pelo período chuvoso e pela proliferação do mosquito Aedes aegypti. Enquanto dengue e chikungunya avançam, outras doenças também preocupam: a gripe chega mais cedo e já apresenta alta de casos, e a mpox volta a crescer em diferentes estados. Em um cenário influenciado pelas mudanças climáticas e pela maior circulação global de vírus, entender esse novo mapa epidemiológico se torna essencial. O infectologista Gerson Salvador analisa as causas desse avanço e os desafios para a saúde pública.

Um foco de larvas do mosquito Aedes aegypti, transmissor da Dengue, foi identificado na última quinta-feira (12) na área central de Lauro Müller. O registro acende um alerta para a necessidade de reforço nas medidas de prevenção, principalmente dentro das residências. De acordo com o setor de Vigilância em Saúde do município, o foco foi encontrado em uma armadilha instalada na rua 20 de Janeiro, nas proximidades do Ginásio Nelson Righeto. No local, foram coletadas dez larvas positivas do mosquito. Após a confirmação, equipes da saúde realizaram uma varredura em um raio de 300 metros ao redor do ponto onde as larvas foram identificadas. Durante a ação, os agentes vistoriaram residências, orientaram moradores e eliminaram possíveis criadouros do mosquito. A Vigilância reforça que a prevenção depende principalmente da colaboração da população. Entre as medidas recomendadas estão evitar qualquer tipo de água parada em recipientes, manter caixas d'água bem fechadas, limpar calhas, descartar corretamente pneus e garrafas e manter terrenos e quintais limpos. Segundo o agente de combate a endemias Edson Mazzucco, o trabalho de fiscalização e orientação é constante, mas a participação da comunidade é essencial para reduzir os riscos de proliferação do mosquito. “A população precisa se atentar. Cada morador deve cuidar do próprio quintal e também observar o entorno. Encontramos principalmente lotes sujos, com lixo e até pneus jogados, que acabam acumulando água e servindo de criadouro para o mosquito”, destacou Mazzucco em entrevista ao programa Cruz de Malta Notícias desta segunda-feira (16). Edson informou que os terrenos com irregularidades devem ser notificados pela prefeitura para limpeza e roçada. Enquanto isso, a orientação é para que cada morador faça a sua parte e elimine possíveis criadouros dentro de casa, evitando assim novos focos do mosquito e o aumento de casos da doença.

fWotD Episode 3191: Opifex fuscus Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 29 January 2026, is Opifex fuscus.Opifex fuscus, known commonly as the saltpool mosquito, is a species of mosquito that is endemic to New Zealand. This species was first described in taxonomic literature in 1902 by Frederick Hutton. The mosquitoes occur on the coast, where the larvae live in rock pools within the spray zone.To cope with their habitat, the larvae are able to tolerate a wide range of water salt concentrations. As adults they feed on blood whereas the larvae feed on algae and decomposing matter. The larvae have mouthparts that specialise towards either filter feeding or grazing, depending on what food source is available. They are widespread throughout the rocky coasts of New Zealand but have been displaced from the Otago region by the introduced species Aedes australis. The males wait on the surface of the rock pools and mate with female pupae before they mature into adults.The larvae of this species are also known to be infected by the fungus Coelomomyces psorophorae, which uses copepods as intermediate hosts. In laboratory studies, O. fuscus is capable of spreading the Whataroa virus, but is not known to spread any diseases in nature. They are also known by the Māori name naeroa, which is generally applied to mosquitoes as a whole.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:40 UTC on Thursday, 29 January 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Opifex fuscus on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kevin.

Zoonose virale, la fièvre de la vallée du Rift touche principalement les animaux, mais peut aussi toucher l'être humain. L'épidémie qui sévit actuellement au Sénégal semble marquer le pas, même si la circulation du virus reste intense pour le bétail. Selon les derniers chiffres du ministère de la Santé et de l'Hygiène Publique, le pays sahélien a enregistré 463 cas confirmés, dont 31 décès et 416 guéris. Début 2025, c'est la République centrafricaine qui avait signalé des cas de fièvre de la vallée du Rift, dans le nord-ouest du pays. Comment la maladie se transmet-elle ? Peut-on la prévenir ? Quels sont les symptômes ? Comment endiguer une épidémie ?  La fièvre de la vallée du Rift est une maladie animale, une zoonose virale, qui peut dans certains cas toucher l'humain. Mais, jusqu'à présent, aucune transmission interhumaine de cette arbovirose n'a été répertoriée. Cette zoonose vectorielle est transmise par plusieurs espèces de moustiques (Aedes, Culex), qui prolifèrent notamment à la saison des pluies. Les femelles moustiques peuvent transmettre le virus à leurs larves, dont les nymphes seront contaminées à l'éclosion.  Vaccinations du bétail  La fièvre de la vallée du Rift touche essentiellement les animaux, le bétail (vaches, moutons, chèvres…) et plus rarement les êtres humains, notamment les personnes qui travaillent auprès des animaux dans le secteur de l'élevage. Elle a été identifiée pour la première fois au Kenya, dans la vallée du Rift, en 1931.   Les signes chez l'animal sont la hausse des naissances d'animaux morts-nés et la vulnérabilité des jeunes ruminants. L'animal contaminé est faible. Il présente des symptômes fébriles comme des vomissements et parfois des diarrhées sanglantes. Chez l'humain, il existe plusieurs formes : certaines sont sévères, associées à des douleurs musculaires, une fièvre et des saignements qui conduisent au décès.  Une stratégie de riposte combinée  Des flambées de fièvre de la vallée du Rift ont été recensées, ces dernières années, en Afrique subsaharienne : Égypte, Afrique de l'Est, République Centrafricaine, Somalie et même Madagascar et le virus est aussi présent au Moyen-Orient. Ces derniers mois, c'est le Sénégal et la Mauritanie qui sont touchés. Le Sénégal, où les autorités sanitaires sont engagées dans une riposte contre la fièvre de la vallée du Rift, depuis le mois de septembre, pour contenir les foyers épidémiques et limiter la propagation du virus. Cette réponse sanitaire impose une approche plurielle : tests diagnostics, évaluation et cartographie, vaccination du bétail, surveillance et élimination des vecteurs.     Avec : Pr Christophe Rapp, infectiologue à l'Hôpital américain de Paris à Neuilly, en région parisienne.

(Día de la Medicina Latinoamericana — Natalicio de Carlos J. Finlay) «La fiebre amarilla fue una enfermedad que trajo desolación y muerte en las colonias españolas de América. Era conocida en la región de Yucatán como cocolitzlé [antes de] la llegada de los conquistadores.... El historiador López de Gómara en el siglo XVI se refería a la enfermedad diciendo: “Poníanse los españoles de color de tiricia, o mal amarillo”1.... En el siglo XVIII fue denominada enfermedad del vómito negro, y por último, los ingleses la denominaron [fiebre amarilla].» Así reza la introducción de la doctora argentina Alicia M. Damiani a su artículo sobre la impronta de Carlos J. Finlay en el Canal de Panamá, publicado en la Revista de la Asociación Médica Argentina en marzo de 2016.2 Por su parte, el historiador médico cubano José López Sánchez, en su obra titulada Finlay: el hombre y la verdad científica, considera que «la fiebre amarilla fue el problema más serio que tuvieron que enfrentar los constructores del Canal de Panamá». Para comprobarlo, relata que «cuando le preguntaron a [William Henry] Aspinwall, el contratista del primer ferrocarril, cuántas vidas había costado la obra, Aspinwall respondió: “De los 82 mil empleados, 52 mil padecieron de vómito negro y 22 mil fallecieron de fiebre amarilla o paludismo”.»3 Tal vez la muerte de aquellos no haya sido en vano debido a la impronta que dejó el eminente médico cubano Carlos J. Finlay en la construcción del canal. La doctora Damiani la resume explicando que Finlay «dedicó su vida al estudio de la fiebre amarilla y descubrió que su agente transmisor era el mosquito Aedes aegypti. Si bien durante veinte años su descubrimiento no fue tenido en cuenta por el mundo académico de la época, su teoría fue confirmada y permitió el saneamiento de la isla de Cuba, que fue liberada de nuevas epidemias. A fines del siglo XIX, la fiebre amarilla fue una de las causas del fracaso de la compañía francesa que intentó construir sin éxito un canal interoceánico en Panamá. En 1904, los estadounidenses, teniendo en cuenta estos antecedentes y llevando a la práctica lo aprendido con Finlay en el saneamiento de Cuba, lograron con éxito la construcción del Canal de Panamá.»4 De ahí las siguientes palabras del estadista panameño José Daniel Crespo inscritas en el monumento a Finlay en la Plaza de Francia en la Ciudad de Panamá: «El descubrimiento de la trasmisión del germen de la fiebre amarilla por el Dr. Carlos J. Finlay en 1881 no sólo marca una época en la historia científica del mundo, sino que es de especial significación para Panamá. Sin este descubrimiento que hizo posible el saneamiento de las zonas tropicales, la gran obra del Canal de Panamá no habría podido hacerse sin ingente sacrificio de vidas. El pueblo y el gobierno de Panamá, agradecidos del ilustre sabio cubano, perpetúan su recuerdo.» Ahora sólo nos queda a nosotros agradecer a Dios por haber dotado al doctor Finlay de semejante sabiduría y por habernos dado a su Hijo Jesucristo para sanear nuestra alma de la epidemia del pecado.5 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Francisco López de Gómara, Historia general de las Indias y vida de Hernán Cortés (Caracas: Fundación Biblioteca Ayacucho, 1991), p. 102 En línea 25 junio 2025. 2 Alicia M.

Paraguay arrancó esta semana su primera campaña de vacunación contra el dengue, la más mortal de las enfermedades infecciosas en el país sudamericano. El Ministerio de Salud de Paraguay ha celebrado un paso histórico sanitario y humanitario en la lucha contra la enfermedad. El dengue es una enfermedad que no se transmite de persona a persona, sino que es causada por la picadura de un mosquito. Se da sobre todo en países tropicales y subtropicales, que tienen mucha vegetación. Une enfermedad en expansión “No es cualquier mosquito, son los mosquitos del género Aedes. Entonces, a día de hoy están ampliamente distribuidos en toda Sudamérica y Centroamérica, el sudeste asiático, el África subsahariana y poco a poco, debido al cambio climático y al cambio en la distribución de mosquitos, vamos viendo cada vez más casos de momento, como brotes esporádicos en algunos países del sur o del suroeste europeo”, explica Javier Membrillo, presidente de la Sociedad de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica. “Hay que recordar que el mismo mosquito que transmite el dengue transmite otros virus como el chikunguña o el zika. Y ahora, por ejemplo, sabemos que en Francia en los últimos meses ha habido varios brotes en el sur de Francia, autóctonos de casos de chikunguña”, recalca. Una enfermedad mortal Se trata de la enfermedad infecciosa más mortal de Paraguay. El pasado verano hubo 132 muertos por cada 100 mil contagiados. “Hay cuatro serotipos de dengue, cuatro tipos de dengue. Y cuando pasas la enfermedad por segunda vez, tienes un riesgo más alto de que se produzca una reacción entre los anticuerpos que ha producido frente a la primera infección y la segunda infección, convirtiéndolo en una fiebre hemorrágica”, indica Membrillo. La vacuna tiene una eficacia del 80% contra la fiebre del dengue y gracias a ella hay una reducción del 90% de las hospitalizaciones, según datos oficiales de Paraguay. Será administrada primero a los niños en los municipios con más incidencia. “La vacuna que tenemos actualmente es una vacuna que en los ensayos clínicos ha demostrado una alta eficacia frente a tres de los cuatro serotipos de dengue. El otro de los cuatro serotipos, tenemos menos información, pero es un gran avance teniendo en cuenta que estamos hablando de una enfermedad que, en Paraguay por ejemplo, produce decenas de miles de hospitalizaciones al año, porque a día de hoy no tenemos ningún antiviral con eficacia demostrada frente al dengue. El tratamiento es el de soporte, la reposición con sueros, con transfusiones si hiciesen falta…”, detalla el presidente de la Sociedad de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica.

We visited renowned architect Bernard Khoury in his studio in Karantina, who offered a critical, unvarnished look at the reality of practicing architecture in Lebanon, contrasting it with the sugarcoated story of the "Phoenix coming out of its ashes". He discusses his career beginnings, the 2020 Beirut port explosion, and how his first project—the infamous B018 nightclub—was a radically specific and necessary response to the city's complex, macabre history and unstable political and economic context. Khoury shares his philosophical approach to architecture, which rejects stylistic gestures in favor of an obsession with specificity and a direct confrontation with Beirut's explosive nature, arguing for a practice that produces honest, if sometimes "sour" meaning in the present rather than succumbing to toxic simplifications. 00:00 The Sourness and Complexity of Beirut01:23 Bernard Khoury's Karantina Studio and the Beirut Explosion03:12 His First Project: B018 in Karantina04:01 The Illusion and Disillusion of the Post-War Era05:42 An Architect's Dilemma: Designing for an Expiry Date12:56 Solidere, Immaterial Ownership, and a New Urbanism15:44 The Cultural Significance of B01817:05 B018's Site: A Macabre History19:40 From Furniture Factory to Architecture Practice22:52 Khalil Khouri: Modern Architect with Certainties27:23 A Generational Difference in Practice28:57 Rejected Labels: What Bernard Khoury Hates to Be Called...31:41 Style vs. Specificity 36:00 Estrangement and Addiction to a Very Intense Environment42:00 Bernard Khoury's Criticism of Solidere's Historical Narrative Born in Beirut (1968), Bernard Khoury studied architecture at the Rhode Island school of Design (BFA 1990 / B.Arch 1991) and Harvard University (M.Arch 1993). He was awarded by the municipality of Rome, the Borromini Prize honorable mention given to architects under 40 years of age (2001), the Architecture + Award (2004), the CNBC Award (2008) and nominated for several awards including the Aga Khan award (2002 / 2004/ 2021), the Chernikov prize (2010) and the Mies van der Rohe Award (2021). He co-founded the Arab Center for Architecture (2008), was a visiting professor in several universities including the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and L'Ecole Spéciale d'Architecture in Paris. He has lectured and exhibited his work in over 150 institutions, including solo shows at the Aedes gallery in Berlin (2003), the Spazio per l'architecttura Milano (2016) and numerous group shows including YOU prison at the Fondazione Sandretto in Torino (2008), the opening show of the MAXXI museum in Roma (2010), the Frac Architecture Biennale in Orleans (2018), the Oris House of Architecture in Zagreb (2020) and the Architecture Biennale of Seoul (2021). He was the architect and co-curator of the Kingdom of Bahrain's national pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale (2014). Over the years he has developed an international reputation and a diverse portfolio of projects in over fifteen countries. Khoury was nominated by the French Ministry of Culture Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres (2020) Connect with Bernard Khoury

Once confined to the tropics, dengue is spreading via its vector, the Aedes mosquito, to more temperate regions, causing increases in global morbidity, mortality and cost. In 2019, the WHO recognised dengue as one of the top ten global health threats alongside climate change and antimicrobial resistance [1]. In this episode of Communicable, Annie Joseph and Nav Narayanan welcome two dengue experts, André Siqueira of the non-profit Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative based in Geneva, Switzerland (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), and Steven Lim of the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital (Ipoh, Malaysia). Together, they discuss the epidemiology, clinical presentation and management of dengue including comparisons to other arboviral infections like zika and chikungunya, and the heightened risk of disease for vulnerable populations such as pregnant women and those with comorbidities. The conversation also highlights innovative vector-control strategies and candidate therapeutics currently under investigation. This episode was edited by Kathryn Hostettler and peer reviewed by Loora Grünvald of the University of Tartu, Estonia. Resources:Drug for Neglected Diseases (DNDi), https://dndi.org/ Dengue Alliance, https://dndi.org/global-networks/dengue-alliance/ Qdenga vaccine information: https://travelhealthpro.org.uk/news/763/qdenga-dengue-vaccine-guidanceDengavaxia vaccine information: https://www.cdc.gov/dengue/hcp/vaccine/index.html References: World Health Organization, Ten threats to global health in 2019.Further reading: Treating a feverish planet: The Dengue Alliance, a video

De wooncrisis is hét onderwerp van de aankomende Tweede Kamerverkiezingen. Want hoe gaan we in rap tempo meer huizen bouwen? En moeten statushouders nou wel of géén voorrang krijgen?

Hey Poison Friends! We are just starting to feel the slightest edges of Fall/Autumn here. It is more like “false Fall” as we call it, because the temps here will hit the 90s again before it actually gets cooler. I mention this, in part, because I love fall and spooky season and because I am looking forward to the demise of critters like mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are famously known as the deadliest critter on our planet, simply because of the deadly diseases they spread. We will mainly being talking about Aedes aegypti (Egyptian Mosquito) and the Aedes albopictus (Asian Tiger Mosquito) this episode because they are the common spreaders of the three diseases we are discussing today: Yellow Fever, Chikungunya, and Dengue Fever. I want to look at the histories and track records of these diseases and how they affected humanity throughout. Yellow Fever, for instance, was a much feared illness between the 1600s-1900s, with grotesque symptoms and relatively high death rate. Chikungunya, while having a lower death rate, has caused great pain and disability. Dengue Fever is not just historic, but making a come back. It is also called “bonebreak fever” and for good reason. Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

This week we talk about flesh-eating screwworms, weeds, and the US cattle industry.We also discuss genetic modification, procreation, and tsetse flies.Recommended Book: 1177 BC by Eric H ClineTranscriptThe term ‘autocidal control‘ refers to a collection of techniques that are meant to control populations of some type of living thing, animal or plant, by disrupting their procreationary capacity.So rather than attempting to control pest by spraying poisons all over the place, or controlling plants you consider to be invasive weeds by launching huge weed-pulling efforts in the afflicted areas, you might instead figure out how to keep this current generation of pests and weeds from having as many offspring as they might otherwise have, and then repeat the process with the next generation, and the next, and so on, until the unwanted species is either eradicated in the relevant region, or reduced to such a small number that its presence is no longer such a big deal.There are all kinds of approaches one might take in trying to achieve this sort of outcome.Experimental genetic modification measures, for instance, have been tried in, so far at least, limited ways, the idea being to either make the disliked species less competitive in some way (by making them slower, and thus more likely to be eaten by predators, maybe), or by making them less likely to have offspring, or less likely to have fit offspring—the next generation becomes super slow and clumsy, or they're carriers of a gene that keeps them from procreating as much, or at all.That approach seems like it could be effective, and there are quite a few efforts, globally, that're working to refine and perfect it with mosquito species in particular, specifically the ones that are carriers of malaria-causing parasites and similar maladies that cause immense harm to local human (and other mammal) populations.There have also been attempts to spray mating grounds with pheromones that disrupt mating behavior, or to use what's called the Autodissemination Augmented by Males, or ADAM approach, which has been used to decent effect in some trials, and which involves basically just sprinkling a bunch of male mosquitos with pesticide, releasing them into mosquito mating grounds, and then having them deliver those pesticides to the females they mate with.All of these efforts are meant to reduce populations via some procreationary mechanism, while also attempting to ameliorate some of the other issues associated with other, widely used pest- and weed-control approaches. Most of which rely on some kind of chemical being introduced into the right environment, that chemical helping to kill or disrupt these populations, but in many cases also leading to unwanted, and often initially unforeseen side effects, like those chemicals messing with other species, getting into the groundwater and possibly being associated with maladies in humans, and so on.What I'd like to talk about today is another approach, the sterile insect technique, why it's become so popular in recent decades, and how it's being used, today, to address a burgeoning population of a pest that was previously eliminated in North America using this technique, but which has recently become a problem, once more.—The New World screwworm fly is thus named because its larvae, its baby offspring, are planted in warm-blooded animals. These offspring eat not just dead tissues, like the maggots of other flies, but healthy tissues as well.These maggots are often deposited near wounds, like cuts or scrapes, but also injuries caused by the castration or dehorning of cattle, or orifices and other sensitive areas with soft tissue, like the corner of a host's eye.They don't typically infest humans, but it does happen, and they're most likely to be found on wild and domesticated mammals, the females of the species depositing somewhere between 250 and 500 eggs in the flesh of their hosts, the maggots screwing their way deeper into their host's flesh as they grow, burrowing and eating for the next three to seven days, at which point they fall off and enter the next stage of their lifecycle. By that point the host may already be dead, depending on the extent of the damage these things manage to cause in the interim.These flies were originally found across the Americas and on some Caribbean islands, and they have long been a headache for cattle ranchers in particular, as they will sometimes infect one cow or goat, and then work their way through the entire herd in relatively short order, causing enough damage to seriously injure or kill a whole lot of the rancher's stock.As a result, humans have been trying to get rid of these things for ages, but nothing seemed to make much of a dent in their populations until the emergence of what's called the sterile insect technique, which is exactly what it sounds like: a method of autocidal control that involves sterilizing members of the species, usually the males, and then releasing them back into the population.Variations on this concept were developed by a few different researchers in a few different places around the world in the lead-up to WWII, but just after that conflict, scientists working at the US Department of Agriculture realized that they could use x-rays to reliably sterilize male screwworm flies, and that if they did this to a large number of them, then released those males into the local population of screwworm flies, to the point where there are more sterilized males than non-sterilized ones, that would serve to dramatically reduce the size of the next generation. If you then repeat this over and over again, you can eventually wipe out the species in a given region, as they successfully showed in the early 1950s by eradicating all the screwworms on Sanibel Island in Florida.The same technique was then used to kill all the screwworms on the island of Curacao, off the coast of Venezuela—that kill-off achieved in just seven weeks. Over the next few decades, sterilized male flies were then released across other afflicted US states, and both Mexico and Belize were able to kill all their screwworms in the 1980s, followed by Central America in the 1990s.This approach was also applied to other pests, almost always those that either spread disease to humans, or threatened local industries, like cattle or agricultural industries.For instance, tsetse flies, carriers of a parasite that causes sleeping sickness, were entirely or almost entirely eradicated from Tanzania, Zanzibar, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, and Uganda between the 1940s and late-1990s, Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the carriers of dengue and yellow fever, were sterilized by a bacteria called Wolbachia in Queensland, Australia, in the late-20-teens, which reduced the populations of this disease-carrier in trial areas by 80%, and Japan eradicated the melon fly, an agricultural pest, in 1993.This approach to pest-control has become so popular that dozens of facilities have been set up in countries around the world, exclusively to breed and sterilize different species, which can then be shipped to where they will be released. The first of these facilities was built in Mexico in the 1960s, where Mexican fruit flies were bred and then shipped for release in Texas.It's maybe fitting then that a new round of construction is happening, today, intending to combat the renewed presence of screwworms in Mexico, which have been making their way up into Texas via these two nations' cattle industries.The US Department of Agriculture recently announced that it will be building a sterile screwworm fly facility in Texas, which has suffered due to the US's recent decisions to halt the import of cattle from across the border in Mexico due to issues with screwworms hitching a ride on that cattle stock, and thus infiltrating US herds. The government tried several times to drop this cessation of imports, as the US cattle industry is pretty reliant on those imports, but each time they tried, new screwworm infestations were found, and the import halt was put back into place.US cattle populations are already at their lowest level in decades, and that's impacting meat and dairy prices, while also putting other warm-blooded animals in the afflicted regions, especially Texas, at risk.The folks behind the new facility have said they hope to be up and running in relatively short order, aiming to be releasing sterile male New World screwworms into the wild within a year. This deployment will operate in tandem with other, more direct efforts, like fly traps and parasite-sniffing dogs stationed at ports of entry.The concerns here are not just theoretical: screwworms alone cause an estimated $1.5 billion in damage each year, and the cost of implementing a sterilization program of this kind usually adds up to something like a billion dollars, spread across decades; not a bad return on investment.These programs are not universally effective, though, as in some rare cases non-irradiated males have accidentally been shipped to their intended mating location, temporarily inflating rather than deflating population numbers. And while these programs are relatively cheap to operate on scale, the cost of producing enough sterilized males to make such an effort effective can be prohibitive when aimed at smaller regions, or when attempted by governments or agencies without the budget to see what can sometimes be a long-term project through.That said, this approach does seem to work very well when done correctly, and while its ecosystem impact is not zero, as, for instance, predators who eat these pests might suddenly find themselves without one of their staple food sources, which can lead to knock-on effects across the food web, it does seem to be one of the least foodweb ripple-producing approaches, as genetic modifications can theoretically lead to far more elaborate unforeseen consequences, and the widespread spraying of chemicals has semi-regularly led to die-offs and maladies in other local species, in addition to sometimes causing long-term, even fatal health problems for humans who rely on local food or water sources.Show Noteshttps://archive.is/20250815192422/https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/usda-build-texas-facility-fight-flesh-eating-screwworms-2025-08-15/https://www.oregonlive.com/business/2025/08/how-to-stop-flesh-eating-parasite-from-devastating-us-cattle-government-will-breed-billions-of-flies.htmlhttps://apnews.com/article/fly-factories-flesheating-parasite-cattle-texas-429ce91225bbab4a45c9040f1be356a5https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochliomyia_hominivoraxhttps://archive.is/14Rdkhttps://archive.is/afmt2https://archive.is/QfTvGhttps://archive.is/dxbcZhttps://www.oregonlive.com/business/2025/08/how-to-stop-flesh-eating-parasite-from-devastating-us-cattle-government-will-breed-billions-of-flies.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterile_insect_techniquehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sterile_insect_technique_trialshttps://web.archive.org/web/20210416164524/http://www-iswam.iaea.org/drd/refs_files/195_The-Area-wide-SIT-Screwworm.pdfhttps://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news/sterile-insect-technique-used-to-suppress-mosquito-disease-vectors-in-floridahttps://www.cdc.gov/mosquitoes/mosquito-control/genetically-modified-mosquitoes.htmlhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-30722-9https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4313646/ This is a public episode.

Are we doing damage to our noses with some of these powerful aroma-chemicals? We don't know for sure, but maybe, and we discuss it a bit in this episode. We also talk about a few milk perfumes, the perfumes we're looking forward to wearing once the heat breaks, and some ways to layer Oudh Infini. And for those keeping score, you can bet on Jane mentioning L'Astre.Oh, and a pretty solid round of The Game.

After a short break from our normal recording routine, we are back and ready to ramble about the perfumes we just can't wear in this god forsaken heat, but some that we do, and others we look forward to wearing in the fall and winter. Also, Jane reveals the big winner from her perfume search from the last episode and let's just say there were some significant changes in heart.All that and a heavy hitter edition of The Game featuring big notes of vanilla, fig, and honey.

This is an episode about a girl who has been on a quest to find her next full bottle purchase. This is also an episode about the paralysis of choice. Luckily, we have a little time, some microphones, and a few people out there willing to hear her story. Also, The Game this week doesn't help shorten the list, that's for sure, but I think we make it out with her selections (kinda).Movie Reference - Desert Fury (1947)Rival Podcast Episode Reference - How did Stéle Become a Household Name on Perfume Room by the great Emma Vernon(00:00) - - Talking about Hellenist and Racyne (08:15) - - Byredo Absolu (14:58) - - The Gift of Wisteria by Aerin (19:27) - - Jane's Quest (33:28) - - Scents We've Been Wearing (39:37) - - The Game Scents Mentioned in this Episode:le chant d'achille by Hellenist / Petit Matin by Maison Francis Kurkdjian / les brass de morphee by Hellenist / Quelque Part and La Terre La Nuit by Racyn / Bal d'Afrique Absolu and Rose of No Man's Land Absolu by Byredo / Oud for Greatness by Initio Parfums / Wisteria by Aerin* / Nitesurf Neroli by Régime des Fleurs / Jasmin by Le Galion / Tonka Latte by Dustia Parfums / Bianco Latte by Giardini Di Toscana / Iris Nazarena by Aedes de Venustas / Ossuary by La Curie / Jours Heureux, Fleurs d'Été, Monsieur, Vermeil, and La Vie en Fleurs by Bienaimé / Comete by Chanel / Borneo 1834 by Serge Lutens / Saffron Hamra by Amouage / Essence Rare by Houbigant / Tropical by Arquiste / Fumabat by Couteau de Poche / Invasion Barbare by Parfums MDCI / No 3 Cologne Curiouse, No 15 Jungle Tobacoo, and No 1 Alkemist Pepper by Binet-Papilion / Falling Trees by Régime des Fleurs / China White by Nasomatto / Feminité du Bois by Serge Lutens / Les Cahiers Secrets by Jouissance / Bal d'Afrique by Byredo / Heliotrope Milkbath by Universal Flowering / Salome by Papillon / Ma Bete by Eris Parfums / Flor de Selva by La Boticá / Amber Teutonic by DS & Durga / Copala by Xinu / Cobra & The Canary by Imaginary Authors / Vanille Antique, Casablanca Lily, Reine de Nuit by Byredo / Jasmin Kama by Rania J / Delta of Venus by Eris Parfums / Peau by Arquiste / Another 13 by Le Labo / Molecule 01 & 02 by Escentric Molecules / Heliodose by MarlouThe Game:Scapular by Chapel Factory / Dandelion Butter by Clue Perfumery / Vetiver by Le Galion / Unspoken Musk by Franscesca Bianchi / Soho by La Boticá / Tropical by ArqusitePlease feel free to email us at hello@fragraphilia.com - Send us questions, comments, or recommendations.

We speak a bit more about brands and perfumes in general rather than specific releases this episode but we wanted to discuss design, bottles, and what piques our interest when we are shopping new houses and fragrances. Preferences that go beyond just the note list. We also discuss dabbers and our best approach at maximizing their wear in response to a listener message. Spoiler Alert - We're no help!For The Game, I'm not sure the room has ever smelled better as we sample some classics and a couple of surprises. Seriously, it still smells great and I'm writing this hours after recording.References:Kindred Black / Invisible Stories TikTok on Kindred Black bottles(00:00) - - Intro & News (07:56) - - What Draws Us To Perfumes (other than notes) (23:57) - - Listener Email About Dabbers (28:40) - - Scents of The Week (45:01) - - The Game Scents Mentioned in this Episode:Histoire d'Orangers by L'Artisan Parfumeur / Blanche, Mojave Ghost, Bal D'Afrique, and Rose of No Man's Land Absolu(s) by Byredo / Jersey and Coromandel Body Oil by Chanel / Lune Feline by Atelier Des Ors / En Plein Air by Jouissance /  La Terre and La Nuit & Garde by Racyne / Naked Dance, Dead Air, and Delulu by .Oddity / Sex and Jasmine and Burrow by Paraphrase / French Poetry by St Rose / La Fille de Berlin by Serge Lutens / Seven Veils by Byredo / Cierge De Lune by Aedes de Venustas / Accord Oud by Byredo / Side Effect and Oud For Greatness by Initio Parfums / Atlas Fever, French Affair, Amber Sky, and Midnight Special by Ex Nihilo / Ambilux by Marlou / Hwyl by Aesop / Signature by Aedes de Venustas / Comète by Chanel / Monsieur by Bienaimé / Cannabis Santal by Fresh / Le Lion, 1932, and Cuir de Russie by Chanel / Mortel by Cire Trudon / Eau Capitale by Diptyque / Portrait of a Lady by Frederic Malle / Sala by Tsu Lange YorThe GameFleurs d'Été by Bienaimé / Coromandel by Chanel / Bruma by Cire Trudon / Fin de Siecle Paraphrase Perfume / TLY 5755 by Tsu Lange Yor / Borneo 1834 by Serge LutensPlease feel free to email us at hello@fragraphilia.com - Send us questions, comments, or recommendations.

In this episode we discuss a few new to us perfumes from the houses of Aedes de Venustas and Reservation, the latter being a new brand that keeps popping up on our social feeds, and we are very impressed by both. A couple even rocketed up our respective want lists. Also, Jeff is looking for some magnolia perfumes and Jane discusses a new favorite from Trudon composed by Lyn Harris back in 2017.During The Game, we are challenged by an old world recipe, note lists that scare us a bit, and one that's probably more suited for a night out than an afternoon at the playground with your toddler. Tea - Victoria Grey by Fortnum and MasonMovies - Night Tide (1961), Shane (1953), Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland (1989)This Episode's Friends of the Pod:Caitlyn - https://www.instagram.com/caitlynandcharlee/ - https://www.youtube.com/@dearmilkfedPerfume Journal - https://www.youtube.com/@perfumejournalS Elizabeth - https://www.instagram.com/ghoulnextdoor & https://unquietthings.comJoseph Colbourne - https://www.instagram.com/jjcolbourne/Danielle - https://www.instagram.com/perfumeglow_danielle/(00:00) - - Intro, Tea, and Magnolia Scents (04:40) - - Reservation by Yann Vasnier (10:54) - - Aedes de Venustas (21:02) - - A Couple of Samples & Name Drops (24:13) - - Scents of the Week (33:31) - - The Game Scents Mentioned in this Episode:Willow and Gold Leaves by Régime des Fleurs / Eau De Magnolia by Frederic Malle / Feu de Rose, Chambre Secrète, and Jasmine Haze by Reservation / Bois D'Encens by Armani / Rose 31 by Le Labo / Babycat by Yves Saint Laurent / Vanille Antique by Byredo / Mortel by Trudon / Citizen X by Ex Nihilo / Delina by Parfums de Marly / Signature, Amnesia Rose, Iris Nazarena, Cafe Tabac, Encens Japonais, and Sueno Latino by Aedes de Venustas / Oud Satin Mood by Maison Francis Kurkdjian / Falling Trees by Régime des Fleurs / L'orpheline by Serge Lutens / Deux by Trudon / Mississippi Medicine by DS & Durga / Flaming Creature by Marissa Zappas / L'Été 67 by St Rose / L'Ame Perdue by Le Galion / Grand Larceny by St Rose / Crème Bouquet by Stila / French Poetry by St Rose / Leather Petals by Régime des Fleurs / Greatest Cologne of All Time, Golfjazz, Rum Bay Rum, and Grey Blazer by DS & Durga / Jersey by Chanel / Un Bois by Obvious / Les Nuits by Astier de Villatte / Incense Rori by Amouage / L'Astre by Le Galion / Ganymede by Marc-Antoine Barrois / Monstera and OroNardo by Xinú / Rouge Chaotique, Bibliotheque, Oud Immortel by ByredoThe GameArtaban by Astier de Villatte / Shah'ryar by Rania J / VetiVerde by Xinú / Soie Malaquais by Dries Van Noten / Great Lord by Vilhelm Parfumerie / Hysterica by Gritti Please feel free to email us at hello@fragraphilia.com - Send us questions, comments, or recommendations.
