Holy smokes and saints alive I never thought this would happen to me! What's that you ask? Oh, not much... I just happen to be lucky enough to co-host a podcast with the most international dude in the entire Northern hemisphere. Mr. "Jetset" Randy Woods himself is over in the cradle of humanity sharing his vast, VAST knowledge of sound, noises, ambience, acoustics, and such with a very wide array of wide-eyed (and almost certainly completely starstruck) Zambians. When he gets back, who knows if he'll carry on debasing himself by talking to me. We can only speculate. This week's episode covers a Freddie solo track that was reworked for the Queen Forever compilation, released in 2014. It's the much rearranged "Love Kills" (Ballad)If Kev were to title this podcast, he'd probably call it “Love Kills”, or possibly “So does Malaria.”NOTE: Skip forward to 6:19 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is the sensational "Bode's Galaxy" from Absofunkinlutely's red album, Blues Kid City. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, and you really ought to as the fate of the free universe hangs in the balance, is to go listen to it immediately on the mysterious tubes of Y00! https://youtu.be/lB7iaAnZOZcIf you want to get involved in the Kofi Klub, you can make a donation here: https://ko-fi.com/seasidepodreview and let us know which song you want us to add to the wheel!

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Sheena: Hi Dr C! Hope you and your team are well. I've been hearing a lot about colostrum lately and it piqued my interest. Can you speak a little about it? Do you use it? Is there a brand you would recommend? Is it safe for anyone? Who should avoid it? Side effects? I take a probiotic everyday, can colostrum replace this?? Looking forward to hearing your response. Thanks in advance! Frankie: Hi Stephen, My name is Frankie Im 21 years old, and I wanted to follow up from Episode 3382, where you mentioned my symptoms could be connected to gut issues, low vitamin D, magnesium, metals, or GERD. Since then, I followed a strict LPR diet for about two months no gluten, coffee, alcohol, peanuts, oats, onions, garlic, broccoli, beans, etc. My LPR symptoms improved by around 70%, and while I still have some mucus in my throat, its nowhere near as potent as before. During and after the protocol, I focused on rebuilding my gut with some gut-rebuilding supplements and slowly reintroducing foods. Its now been about three months since finishing the protocol, and Ive gained around 14 pounds. I also still deal with loose stool almost every day, which hasnt improved much. It’s honestly shocked me because Im very dialed in with both my food and workouts, yet the weight gain and digestive changes still happened. I wanted to get your thoughts on what direction to take from here. I havent run the Big 5 protocol since Im based in Canada, and it would end up costing quite a bit more with shipping and exchange rates. Also, I just wanted to mention its surprising how many young people my age are struggling with digestive and gut related issues. Its becoming way too common. Thanks again for all the work you do, and I hope you have a great day I listen to you every morning. Frankie Gary: Hi Dr. Cabral. Im 49, male & over the last 4 years taken a deep interest in my health. I had cerebral malaria (2003) & as a result developed essential tremor both hands. Listened to 2 podcasts & working on noticeable triggers like ltd caffeine & alcohol. It hasnt got worse, but really is there any way to reverse it? Neurologist says surgery has no guarantee. I would value the truth & if it were your wife what you would do please. So much life ahead 🙠(PS. Partner is an IHP so DESTRESS at the heart of our approach) we want to do EVERYTHING we can. Thank you Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - so excited about your new Pea Protein, got great feedback from the support team, however would love your response. Pea Protein safe for kids? Since DNS is I would approach it in same way, Dr. AI says generally kids get enough from food so not recommended… Do you give this to your daughters in same way you have it? Ie a little more protein in smoothies *daily* or just in baked goods like pancakes occasionally. Thank you! Happy holidays Anonymous: What are some ways to improve gut motility, I'm already on a supplement program and ginger tea. Any thoughts on massage abdominal, hot stones, any other physical techniqes?

In the past decade there has been little progress in lowering malaria cases, with over half a million people still dying from the mosquito-borne disease every year. We look at the big ideas and innovations of the future that could help us eliminate malaria once and for all. What would happen if we got rid of the insect responsible for spreading the malaria parasite? Claudia heads to Imperial College London where she is joined by Dr Federica Bernardini and their 120 colonies of mosquitos to find out how revolutionary genetic technologies are aiming to do just that.Picking up on Imperial's work in the field is Principal Investigator at Target Malaria in Uganda, Dr Jonathan Kayondo. His job is to understand what it would mean to release these modified mosquitos into the wild.Looking at the existing tools that need levelling up is Dr Rob Moon, from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, and Dr James Tibenderana, Chief Executive at the Malaria Consortium. Alongside Claudia they look at the next generation of vaccines and the importance of accessible rapid diagnostic tests.But is all this going to be enough to eliminate malaria? Presenter: Claudia Hammond Producer: Katie Tomsett
Malaria is still the third biggest killer on the planet and despite decades of serious investment it's a disease that is still very much with us. But that investment is starting to pay off - 2025 has been a big year for new ways of tackling the disease.This week we're reflecting on the progress made in 2025 – but also asking what impact unprecedented cuts to global health funding might have on whether children living in hot and humid regions of the world contract malaria. Our expert guide is James Tibenderana, an epidemiologist from Uganda. He is Chief Executive at the Malaria Consortium, an organisation that advises governments on best practice for tackling malaria as well as delivering their own programmes. We also hear from Nigeria, the country with the highest rates of malaria in the world. Dr Onyinye Echedike-Elekwa at The University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital on the south coast of the country tells us how it's been in the clinic this year. The drug known as GamLun marks a huge breakthrough in the treatment of malaria. Abdoulaye Djimdé is Professor of Parasitology and Mycology at the Malaria Research and Training Centre University of Bamako, Mali. He led clinical trials of the medication and explains how it works.In September, the World Health Organisation announced conditional approval for indoor use of spatial emanators, a device which continually releases a mosquito toxin into the air for up to a year. Epidemiologist Ellie Sherrard-Smith from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine in the UK explains the potential benefits and concerns for this tool.Plus, we reflect on the progress made in the malaria vaccine roll out this year and how a new formulation of a pre-existing drug is offering hope to the very youngest patientsAnd could we ever eliminate malaria completely? Next week, we consider the big ideas hoping to do just that.Presenter: Claudia Hammond Producer: Hannah Robins
What is a call? How does a person know if God is calling them to mission service? Join in a discussion as these and other questions are addressed.
Low resource settings require much innovation and streamlining resources to meet set goals. With healthcare becoming more commercial and profit driven, missional healthcare in low resource settings faces many challenges. Sustainability is a big question with people finance , and equipment scarce and hard to come by. Missional models of healthcare often run into hurdles of sustainability, longevity and relevance even as healthcare slowly turns into business. In this setting of multifactorial challenges and increasing compliances how can missional healthcare be relevant and sustainable? Many saints of God have committed their lives to fulfil this great commission in some of the most underserved and unreached areas of the world. With the birth of Emmanuel Hospital Association (EHA) a different model of missional healthcare emerged in India. Over the last 55 years of its existence, EHA has shown that through all the challenges, this may be one of the ways to sustain missional healthcare in areas of need. With increasing divide between the rich and poor, overwhelmed government systems, a ruthless insurance system, and high end corporate healthcare, it is still possible for missional healthcare to provide low cost, high quality, technologically advanced care to people in need while remaining sustainable. We bring lessons from India and our experience with Emmanuel Hospital Association over the last 3 decades.

Zanzariere che sembrano normali reti da letto ma hanno un superpotere: l'insetticida è incorporato nelle fibre, uccide le zanzare in pochi minuti e continua a funzionare per anni, anche dopo vari lavaggi. Questo non protegge solo chi dorme sotto la rete, ma crea una barriera di comunità che riduce la malaria in interi villaggi con pochi euro a testa, grazie a progetti ultra monitorati come quelli di Against Malaria Foundation.

Suriname is officially malaria-free
Hello Poison Friends! We are carrying on with our series on Human experimentation during WWII and we are still discussing that done by Nazi doctors and the like. This episode is specifically on the diseases that were intentionally spread to prisoners and experimental subjects being kept at concentration camps, mainly Dachau, Sachsenhausen, Natzweiler, and Auschwitz (not that it did not happen elsewhere). The main studies were those concerning Malaria, Epidemic Jaundice (or Hepatitis A), and Typhus. The excuse behind such horrific actions was the study of possible testing, diagnosing, and treating these illnesses for the benefit of Nazi soldiers. They subjected originally healthy people (apart from the recent issues of starvation and malnutrition also caused by the Nazi's disregard for human life) to terrible diseases and many died as a result, some from the disease and some from the treatments. For the malaria experiments, prisoners were often cut on the arm (sometimes superficially, sometimes deep) and malaria from cultures would be applied to the area. Some were also infected by being made to hold small cages of infected mosquitoes or by being forced to keep their hands in infected mosquitoes cages. Still others were directly injected with malaria infected blood from others who had specifically been exposed to the illness for such a purpose as to provide the infectious blood. Hepatitis A was also intentionally given to prisoners to see the effects and the outcome was brutal, also leading to deaths. The resulting liver disease in many of these patients was a slow and painful death. Some also died during testing procedures or when given experimental drugs. Epidemic Typhus is spread via lice, and this had become a problem for Nazi soldiers who had invaded the Soviet Union. War is a dirty business in many ways. Prisoners were exposed to infected lice, but more often they were injected with infected blood. Victims often suffered great illness and pain before death, again from the illness or experimental treatments. We will be mentioning the doctors indicted and convicted of such horrors as well as those not at the Nuremberg Medical trials simply because they had already been charged and convicted and sentenced to death in previous trials. Main trigger warnings for this episode include mentions of torture and death (including mentions of suicide). There is nothing graphic, but the crimes themselves are despicable.

Sudan: UN rights chief Türk condemns spiralling conflict in KordofansMalaria control faces biggest threat from growing drug resistance: WHOArab region pushed to limits by climate extremes: WMO
Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayotupeleka nchini Kenya kwa mwanariadha na mchchemuzi wa masuala ya wanawake, akieleza hatua zinazochukuliwa kutokomeza dhulma wa kijinsia. Pia tunakuletea muhtasari wa habari na jifunze lugha ya Kiswahili.Huku mapigano yakizidi kushika kasi katika eneo la Kordofan nchini Sudan, Kamishna Mkuu wa Haki za Binadamu wa Umoja wa Mataifa, Volker Türk, ameonya hii leo kuhusu hatari ya mashambulizi mapya dhidi ya raia, baada ya kuripotiwa vifo zaidi ya watu 269 kutokana na mashambulizi ya angani, mabomu na mauaji ya kiholela tangu mwishoni mwa mwezi Oktoba. Ofisi yake imeeleza kupokea taarifa za ulipizaji kisasi, utekaji, ukatili wa kingono na ulazimishaji wa watoto kujiunga na makundi ya kivita, huku miji kama Kadugli, Dilling na El Obeid ikikabiliwa na njaa, kuzingirwa na kukwama kwa misaada ya kibinadamu.Malaria, ugonjwa ambao takriban asilimia 95 ya vifo vinavyoripotiwa duniani ni kutoka nchi za Afrika tena kwa watoto walio na umri wa chini ya miaka 5. Ulionekana kuweza kudhibitiwa lakini sasa Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya duniani WHO, Dkt. Tedros Ghebreyesus, anasema unaelekea kubaya kutokana na kuongezeka kwa usugu wa dawa, hali inayotishia kuyafuta mafanikio yaliyookoa maisha ya watu milioni moja mwaka 2024 kupitia chanjo na vyandarua vipya vyenye dawa ya kukabiliana na mbu waenezao Malaria.Na tuhitimishie nchini Msumbiji ambako Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Uhamiaji IOM Amy Pope amefanya ziara ya siku tatu na kujionea athari zilizoletwa na Mafuriko, vimbunga na kuzorota kwa usalama huko Kaskazini mwa nchi hiyo hali iliyosababisha zaidi ya 100,000 wameyakimbia makazi yao, na zaidi ya 600,000 wakihitaji msaada.Katika kujifunza lugha ya Kiswahili leo ukumbi ni wake mlumbi wa lugha ya Kiswahili Joramu Nkumbi kutoka nchini Tanzania, anafafanua maana za maneno "MADHALI"Mwenyeji wako ni Sabrina Moshi, karibu!

Nigeria rejects claims of a “Christian genocide,” saying violence stems from terrorism and land disputes, not religion, and that both Christians and Muslims have suffered attacks. Some Christian leaders however say there have been instances of Christians being specifically targeted.Also in the programme: Malaria elimination is stalling in southern Africa as cases rise due to climate change, resistance, and reduced funding. And Ghana is sending relief packages to Jamaica following the devastation of Hurricane Melissa. It's more than relief, it's reinforcing historical and cultural connections between the two countries.Presenter: Audrey Brown Producers: Stefania Okereke, Sunita Nahar and Mark Wilberforce in London Senior Producer: Yvette Twagiramariya Technical Producer: Philip Bull Editors Alice Muthengi and Andre Lombard
Katie Treble grew up crying at about how all the king's horses and men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again. It was that compassion that made her the perfect candidate for doctoring during war as an adult.When Dr Katie Treble decided to swap the good vibes and beautiful beaches of Byron Bay for work with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) she knew she would be in for a shock. Nothing could have prepared her for the desperate need she encountered in the Central African Republic (CAR) in the midst of a civil war.But Katie was even more affected by the courage and kindness of her colleagues.She came away from her months in Bria, CAR knowing that her time as a humanitarian doctor would change her own life in deep ways, and so when she got back to Australia she started the work of trying to make sense of it all.Field Notes from Death's Door is published by HarperCollins.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris, executive producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores medicine, university, war, civil war, Africa, humanitarian crisis, Gaza, Israel, Palestine, MSF, doctors without borders, access to medicine, hospital, conflict zones, PTSD, malaria, defence, navy, Kenya, France, Jamaica, Haiti, natural disaster, murder, infant mortality rate, vaccination, religious war, Islam, Christianity, genocide, MDMA therapy, psychology, recovery, healing.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Dr. Kami Kim, Chief of Infectious Diseases at the Division of Infectious Diseases, USF Morsani College of Medicine, reviews one of the few truly emergent infectious diseases, Malaria. Dr. Kim begins by discussing the differential of fever in the returning traveller. Next focusing on Plasmodium, she discusses diagnostic techniques, including thick and thin smears and Malaria rapid diagnostic tests. Similarities and differences of the individual species of Plasmodium are next discussed, including Falciparum, Vivax, Ovale, and Malariae. Lastly, the complications of Malaria infection are covered, followed by a brief discussion regarding Dengue virus disease.
Despite great progress in eliminating malaria in the country, cases of malaria remain high in certain areas of Uganda. Understanding the epidemiology of cases and control is a vital component to a successful malaria mitigation project. Using a cloud-based electronic medical record we have created a pilot project to document and track malaria cases in a central Uganda health center. This type of technology can be utilized in other rural health centers to track malaria and other diseases.

Paolo Mazzarello"Malaria"Il Nobel negato: Storia di Battista GrassiNeri Pozza Editorewww.neripozza.itDall'autore di "Storia avventurosa della medicina", la ricostruzione di una grande scoperta e della congiura scientifica che negò a Battista Grassi il premio Nobel. Intrighi, colpi bassi, spionaggio di laboratorio: un thriller scientifico ricostruito su documenti inediti, a un secolo dai fatti.Nel 1902 il premio Nobel per la Medicina venne assegnato al medico britannico Ronald Ross «per il suo lavoro sulla malaria». Ma, sulla sola base dei suoi studi, nessuna profilassi contro la malattia sarebbe stata realizzabile. Il riconoscimento escludeva Battista Grassi, il medico lombardo che aveva identificato la zanzara del genere Anopheles responsabile del contagio, descrivendo lo sviluppo del parassita nell'insetto e la sua trasmissione all'uomo. Grazie alle proprie ricerche, lo studioso italiano fu il primo a organizzare una profilassi antimalarica scientificamente fondata. Per quale ragione Grassi venne escluso dal Nobel che avrebbe dovuto condividere con Ross? Basandosi sugli studi storici più recenti e sulla documentazione esistente, Malaria racconta l'incredibile congiura ordita contro Grassi, guidata dallo stesso Ross e dal grande microbiologo tedesco Robert Koch, della quale fecero inconsapevolmente parte alcuni colleghi italiani. Proprio nelle cruciali settimane in cui si sarebbe decisa l'assegnazione del premio, infatti, non lo appoggiarono o addirittura lo accusarono di plagio. Alla base dell'accanimento dei colleghi vi furono diverse ragioni, non ultimo il carattere irruento del medico, che gli creò nemici potenti. Come in un thriller scientifico, fra colpi bassi, spie di laboratorio e pericolosi esperimenti, questo libro descrive la vita singolare e straordinaria di Giovanni Battista Grassi a cento anni dalla scomparsa, un genio naturalista allo stato puro, premiato nel 1896 con la Darwin Medal della Royal Society di Londra, il massimo riconoscimento dell'epoca per chi si fosse distinto negli studi biologici. Ma al quale, per una congiura scientifica, venne negato il Nobel.Paolo Mazzarello è professore ordinario di Storia della Medicina all'Università di Pavia e direttore dei musei scientifici pavesi. Tra i suoi libri: Il genio e l'alienista. La strana visita di Lombroso a Tolstoj, 2005; Il Nobel dimenticato. La vita e la scienza di Camillo Golgi, 2006; Il professore e la cantante. La grande storia d'amore di Alessandro Volta, 2009; E si salvò anche la madre. L'evento che rivoluzionò il parto cesareo, 2015; L'elefante di Napoleone.

Dr. Geoff Dow, CEO of 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals and former malaria drug developer at Walter Reed, joins the Tick Boot Camp Podcast to unpack the science and strategy behind treating babesiosis. Drawing parallels to malaria, Dow explains why tafenoquine (brand: Arakoda), FDA-approved for malaria prevention, is being studied for Babesia, how coinfections (Borrelia, Bartonella) complicate care, and why chronic illness needs a different clinical approach. He previews an upcoming Mount Sinai trial for chronic babesiosis focused on fatigue outcomes and discusses real-world diagnostics using FDA-approved blood donor screening plus PCRs from Galaxy Diagnostics and Mayo Clinic. The conversation also touches on prophylaxis concepts, immune dysregulation, and building a clearer path from anecdote to evidence for the tick-borne disease community. Guest Geoff Dow, BSc, MBA, PhD CEO & Board Member, 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals Background: Biotechnology (Perth, Australia), PhD in malaria drug discovery, decade at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, MBA in the U.S. Leads clinical programs exploring tafenoquine for babesiosis. Key Topics & Takeaways Malaria ↔ Babesiosis Parallels: Both are red-blood-cell parasites; acute symptoms driven by red cell destruction. Similar drug targets justify testing some anti-malarials against Babesia. Why Tafenoquine (Arakoda): An 8-aminoquinoline that induces oxidative stress in RBCs; distinct mechanism from atovaquone + azithromycin combo (current standard for acute babesiosis), potentially useful for resistance management. Chronic vs. Acute Disease: Acute babesiosis in immunocompetent patients often responds to standard care; chronic illness remains under-defined and underserved. Coinfections Are Common: Many chronically ill patients present with Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia together; diagnostics and treatment need to acknowledge polymicrobial reality. Upcoming Clinical Trial (Mount Sinai): Population: Chronic babesiosis with disabling fatigue, plus Babesia symptoms (e.g., air hunger, anemia) and lab evidence in the last 12 months. Regimen: 4-day loading dose then 200 mg weekly of tafenoquine for 3 months. Outcomes: Patient-reported fatigue (quality-of-life) + monthly molecular testing (FDA blood donor test, Galaxy Diagnostics PCR, Mayo Clinic PCR) during treatment and 3 months post-therapy. Goals: Demonstrate symptom improvement, assess eradication signals, and validate accessible diagnostics against an FDA-accepted assay. Prophylaxis & Post-Exposure Ideas: Animal data suggest short-course tafenoquine can eradicate early Babesia; human prophylaxis trials face feasibility and regulatory hurdles. Diagnostics Gap: Need for standardized, sensitive tools to define chronic babesiosis and track response. This trial also serves as a real-world diagnostic comparison. Immune Dysregulation & IACI: Overlap among long COVID, ME/CFS, post-treatment Lyme—shared theme of immune dysregulation with possible persistent antigen stimulation. Safety Notes: G6PD deficiency is relevant to 8-aminoquinolines; established safety database exists for malaria prevention dosing—critical as studies expand to babesiosis. Notable Quotes “You've got to put some lines in the sand—run the trial, collect data, and move the field forward.” “The best we can do for chronic disease starts with defining it—and validating the diagnostics we use to track it.” “8-aminoquinolines offer a different mechanism than current babesiosis standards—key for resistance and combinations.” Resources Mentioned Arakoda (tafenoquine): FDA-approved for malaria prevention; under study for babesiosis. Diagnostics: FDA-approved Babesia blood donor screen; Galaxy Diagnostics PCR; Mayo Clinic PCR. Organizations & Events: ILADS, Global Lyme Alliance, tick-borne disease conferences. Research Partners: Mount Sinai (NYC), Tulane University (Bartonella/Borrelia collaboration).

FRANKOPAN5.mp3 - Mosquito Empires, Slavery, and European Prosperity (17th–18th Centuries) Professor Peter Frankopan | The Earth Transformed: An Untold History The 17th–18th centuries saw "mosquito empires" where malaria limited European settlement, leading to West Africa being called the "white man's grave." The rise of transatlantic slavery was linked to disease resilience, as many West Africans carried genetic resistance to malaria, making them highly sought-after laborers in the Americas. New American crops like cassava boosted global calorie provision, freeing up labor. European prosperity, especially Britain's, was built on exploiting the Americas and Africa for resources and labor. Massive wealth extraction, such as Robert Clive's seizure of Bengal's treasury, cemented European power. Meanwhile, the decline of indigenous populations in the Americas resulted in substantial reforestation.
Der Bandname des deutsch-französischen Trios führt möglicherweise ein wenig in die Irre – haben dessen Songs doch wenig mit den malmend-mächtigen Zeitlupenriffs und -rhythmen von Doom Metal-Bands wie Candlemass, Cirith Ungol oder The Obsessed gemein. Stattdessen gehen Berliner Doom eher flott zu Werke, wenngleich sie die dreistelligen Beats-pro-Minute-Zahlen ihrer Anfänge als Grindcore-Duo zugunsten eines kantig-kalten Dark-Wave-Midtempo-Sounds ad acta gelegt haben. Damit erinnern sie nun eher an DAF, Malaria! oder Fehlfarben denn (frühe) Carcass oder Napalm Death. Geblieben sind die Vorlieben für Wortspiele und Kürze: Nachdem sie für die 2023er EP "Wer das hört ist doom" noch ganze 12 (!) Stücke auf sieben Zoll Vinyl unterbrachten, sind es auf ihrem neuen Album "Notre Doom" immerhin noch zehn, von denen das "längste" knapp die Zweieinhalb-Minuten-Marke knackt. Im Titel kommt – nach dem Berliner Sakralbau im Bandnamen – nun auch die wohl berühmteste Pariser Kathedrale zu ihrer Verballhornungsehre, während die 2024 zu den Gründungsmitgliedern Daniel Wiest und Boris Guschlbauer gestoßene französische Sängerin Claire Roy die Songtexte in ihrer Muttersprache sowie in charmant von deren Akzent gefärbtem Deutsch oder Englisch vorträgt. Das klangliche Endergebnis evoziert exzessive Berliner Nächte unter Schwarz- und Neonlicht, zwischen U-Bahn ("Mehringdamm") und Club ("Lost On The Dancefloor") beziehungsweise Euphorie und Hangover. Die Gelegenheit, mehr über das Trio zu erfahren und natürlich auch in "Notre Doom" reinzuhören, dessen Erscheinen am 28.10. mit einer Release-Show im Schokoladen gefeiert wird, bietet der heutige Besuch von Berliner Doom als unsere radioeins-Lokalmatadore.

Hey Poison Friends! I know I promised a lot for this one episode, including West Nile, Zika, EEE, and Malaria. The truth is, malaria is just a huge topic on its own and instead of keeping you all here for hours at one time, we are discussing malaria in all of its old and new world glory, so to speak. I will be adding an extra bonus on our Patreon later this week that will be free for all for those still interested in West Nile/Zika, so come check that out there. The parasite that causes malaria is actually older than us humans and since humans entered the scene, they have been our nemesis. Mosquitoes are known to be, historically, the deadliest animal simply because of how many people have died due to malaria that they have transmitted. We are discussing the history of humankind vs mosquito/malaria and how various people groups of different eras attempted to deal with the disease. From the ancient Egyptians, to the Greeks, the Romans, ancient China, and those living throughout the middle ages in Europe. Previous notions were that malaria came from "bad air" and, in fact, the name comes from the Italian for "bad air." The Miasma and Humors theories were still prevalent in medicine, of course, until the true means of infection were discovered in the late 1800s. Also, we cannot leave out its historic prevalence in Africa and its later history among the American colonies, the Native Americans (indigenous groups in North and South America), Oceania, and among and throughout the African slave trade. History has been a doozy, lets be honest, and mosquitoes (and malaria) have witnessed it all. They even had their effects on historical events like the Fall of Rome, the Revolutionary War, Civil War, WWII, etc. We are delving into the science as well, discussing who discovered its causal agent and who found how it was transmitted via mosquito. Needless to say, the war with malaria has been awful through the centuries and in Sub-Saharan Africa, it still is. The disease is also still prevalent in Southeast Asia and in South America. So what have been the historic methods of treatment and how far have we come in this fight? Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

Malaria kills more than half a million people a year, and an effective vaccine has been elusive. But a San Antonio malaria researcher and her team have discovered a vulnerability in the malaria parasite's method of avoiding the human immune system that may make all the difference.
Korsika ist eine der gebirgigsten Inseln im Mittelmeer: Zwei Drittel der Fläche liegen über 500 Meter, der höchste Gipfel, der Monte Cinto, kommt mit seinen 2.706 Metern fast an Deutschlands höchsten Berg, die Zugspitze, heran. Gleich mehrere Wanderwege durchziehen das hügelige Hinterland der „Île de Beauté“, der „Insel der Schönheit“, wie Korsika auf französisch gerne genannt wird. Die Routen führen über steile Berghänge, duftende Wiesen und durch verwunschene Wälder. Wer hier wandern will, sollte Höhen- und Hitzeerprobt sein, aber immerhin für Letzteres gibt es Abhilfe: Der nächste, eiskalte Wasserfall oder See ist garantiert nicht weit. In der Abgeschiedenheit der Berge haben sich Eigenheiten in Sprache, Musik und Lebensweise bewahrt. In den Bergen, so sagen die Einheimischen, ist die wahre korsische Seele zu finden. Lange Zeit spielte sich hier, und nicht an der heute beliebten Küste, das Leben ab: Denn am Wasser wütete die Malaria, es gab Attacken feindlicher Invasoren und kein Weideland für die Schafe und Ziege, die auf Korsika bis heute allgegenwärtig sind. Im Sommer zogen die Hirten mit ihren Tieren in die hohen Berge, um Hitze und Mücken zu entfliehen. Mancherorts wird die Wanderviehwirtschaft, die Transhumanz, noch heute praktiziert. Verena Carola Mayer ist den alten Hirtenwegen gefolgt: Sie war zu Fuß unterwegs auf dem „Sentier de la Transhumance“, der auf fünf Tagesetappen und knapp 80 Kilometern vom Landesinneren an die nordwestliche Küste führt. Anderer Wanderer traf sie unterwegs kaum – dafür Hüttenwirte, Sänger, Hirtinnen und Schafherden.
For decades, Africa's malaria strategy has focused almost exclusively on disease control through indoor mosquito management and personal protection — bed nets, indoor spraying, and individual-level interventions. But this approach alone isn't working. Progress against malaria in the African region has slowed significantly, with cases declining by just 5% since 2015 and mortality by 16%, according to the World Health Organization. Experts now argue it's time to shift from disease-centric, indoor mosquito management to more robust integrated mosquito management strategies. That means taking a tiered approach, starting with reducing mosquito breeding sites, treating water sources with larvicides, and then targeting adult mosquitoes. “The tendency will probably be to think about controlling mosquitoes when they are flying only. But they are actually more vulnerable when they are not flying, usually when they are in the water,” explained Silas Majambere, a medical entomologist and business manager of Africa, Europe, and the Middle East at Valent BioSciences. This approach, known as larval source management, has proven both cost-effective and sustainable. “The conversation is shifting away from just talking about a disease and saying, ‘How do we take those limited public health dollars and manage the mosquito so that we can manage multiple diseases for those dollars?'” said Jason Clark, managing director for global public health and forest health at Valent BioSciences. Some countries are already moving in this direction. In Benin, the government is framing mosquito control not just as a health issue but as an economic one. The government is focusing on tourism as one of the key pillars of growth for the country, and the presence of mosquito-borne diseases is a direct threat to that, explained Sinde Chekete, adviser to the president of Benin. “We believe that investing in mosquito control will ultimately bring resources, will bring revenue, because we'll be able to welcome more tourists … and reduce the overall cost of malaria,” he said. Chekete, Majambere, and Clark joined Devex Executive Editor Kate Warren to discuss the shift toward integrated mosquito management in a special Devex podcast episode sponsored by Valent BioSciences.
