“Sickle cell is not all that we are – Sickle Cell is solvable.” Lea Kilenga Bey from Kenya founded the non-profit Africa Sickle Cell Organisation to campaign on behalf of people like her who live with an inherited blood condition known as sickle cell disease. Now a group of experts from around the world are calling on Governments to provide better care for people with conditions like Lea's. It comes just weeks after a study published in academic journal The Lancet Haematology showed that the number of people around the world who die with sickle cell disease could be as much as 11 times higher than previously estimated. Claudia Hammond speaks to Lea and hears from Professor Jennifer Knight-Madden in Jamaica where pioneering research has led to a newborn screening programme that helps to diagnose and treat Sickle Cell Disease in babies. Side by Side is a pilot initiative led by the Alzheimer's Society in the UK, pairing up volunteers with people living with dementia based on their common interests. It's how David met Simon, who learnt he had Alzheimer's disease during the Covid 19 lockdown. We hear from David, Simon, and Simon's wife Ruth about the pair's weekly walks and how they have helped Simon come to terms with his diagnosis. And Claudia is joined by Consultant in public health Dr Ike Anya. They discuss new research on living with dementia including a study that suggests resistance training might delay the onset of symptoms in people with Alzheimer's. There's an early breakthrough in finding a treatment for parasitic born African Trypanosomiasis or Sleeping Sickness. And the researchers combining health education with street theatre in Malawi. How an interactive performance involving “infectious” beach balls transmitted by a giant Tsetse fly is teaching people about catching Sleeping Sickness.

De tseetseevlieg komt voor in Afrika en kan als hij Trypanosomen parasieten bij zich draagt en steekt de slaapziekte overbrengen. Van die ziekte bestaan in Afrika twee varianten: de West-Afrikaanse slaapziekte, die mensen jaren bij zich kunnen dragen zonder het te weten en de Oost-Afrikaanse vorm die veel agressiever verloopt en een veel kortere incubatietijd heeft.   Zonder behandeling is de slaapziekte altijd dodelijk. Met behandeling zijn de kansen op genezing - afhankelijk van het stadium waarin de ziekte zit - erg goed. In 2009 zakte het aantal mensen dat na een beet kwam te overlijden voor het eerst onder de 10.000 per jaar. In 2019 waren het er minder dan 1000. Het gaat dus de goede kant op. Maar de WHO wil in 2030 de ziekte helemaal uitgeroeid hebben en dus is er nog werk te doen.   Nou wordt er al lange tijd naar nieuwe manieren gezocht om de tseetseevlieg aan te pakken. Vliegenvallen met de geur van de prooien van de vlieg zijn bijvoorbeeld een veelgebruikte oplossing. Nou blijken vallen met de geur van partners bij andere insecten nog beter te werken. Alleen van de tseetseevlieg waren deze chemische seksstofjes nog nooit uitgezocht.  Tot nu. Voor het eerst is - met behulp van een flink aantal high tech apparaten - ontdekt welke stofjes hun paargedrag aansturen. Ook ontdekten de onderzoekers welke neuronen hier weer op reageren in de vlieg en zagen ze dat bij besmette vrouwtjes de stofjes en hun gedrag verandert. Volgende stap: hun liefdesleven eens even goed tegen ze gebruiken.  Lees hier meer over het onderzoek: Revealed at last: Tsetse fly volatile pheromones, which could help curb diseases they spread.  Ook interessant (uit 2015): The Tsetse Fly Eradication Project in Senegal Wins Award for Best Sustainable Development Practices.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's guest is Feyi Fawehinmi, author of Formation: The Making of Nigeria from Jihad to Amalgamation. Feyi joins us on the show to talk about the period of history in Nigeria that his book covers and we kick things of hearing our guest talk about his reasons for writing the book. After the Civil War in Nigeria, there was a cultural prohibition on developing a sense of history because of the risk of upsetting an unstable political equilibrium. This combined with a very demographically young country means that many people, therefore, don't know the history of the formation of their state. After providing the context behind the book, Feyi dives into the events it covers, beginning in 1804 with a Jihad led by the Fulani in the northwest part of today's Nigeria which led to the Sokoto caliphate. Feyi takes us through the effects of this Jihad, the role of the ending of the transatlantic slave trade, and the events that led up to European colonization. He gets into the tactics the British used to take over and rule Nigeria and then brings us right up to the present moment in Nigeria. After weighing in on some of the current tensions around migration and oil, Feyi gives us his perspectives on whether we can still expect Nigeria to be a state in 30 years. Wrapping up on a more positive note, we speak about Nigeria's status as a tech hub and hear Feyi's views on why this might be. Key Points From This Episode: • A biased telling of history in Nigeria after the civil war and how Feyi's book corrects this. • The situation in Nigeria where Feyi's book starts from; the waging of a state-building jihad in 1804. • Local slavery practices in Nigeria during the caliphate versus how Europeans treated slaves. • The role of the ending of the transatlantic slave trade in events in Nigeria. • Tsetse flies making animal husbandry difficult and the main role of slaves in Nigeria for transportation. • How missionary educated slaves returned to Nigeria and became a new elite. • The bargain struck by the new elite to stop violent neighboring tribes which led to colonization. • Events that led to the formation of the Hausa-Fulani and Feyi's definition of ethnic groups. • The diverse amount of languages and ethnic groups in Nigeria and the movements that led to this. • The power play between Europeans in Nigeria and what led to them heading inland. • The role of the maxim gun and the Berlin conference in the spread of colonialism in Nigeria. • Joseph Chamberlain's approach and how the Europeans developed and governed Nigeria. • Why Britain ended up deciding to amalgamate North and South Nigeria. • The difference between French and British colonialism and the after-effects on former colonies. • The current situation in Nigeria; weaponization of civil war and discrimination against Igbo people. • Climate change causing Fulani migrations to feed cattle and the tensions this is causing. • Feyi's perspectives on whether Nigeria will still be a state in 30 years. • Thoughts from Feyi on why Nigeria is such a tech hub.   Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: https://twitter.com/DoubleEph?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor (Feyi Fawehinmi on Twitter) https://www.amazon.com/Formation-Making-Nigeria-Jihad-Amalgamation/dp/191317509X#:~:text=Formation:%20From%20Jihad%20to%20Amalgamation,countries%20along%20the%20Niger%20river.

On this week's The Sci-Files, your hosts Chelsie and Danny interview Demetrice (Dee) Jordan.Dee is a dual-Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Geography, Environment and Spatial Science and the Environmental Science and Policy Program. Her dissertation research focuses on risk reduction approaches to the tsetse fly and African trypanosomiasis or ‘sleeping sickness' control in sub-Saharan Africa. Sleeping sickness is a vector-borne parasitic illness transmitted by the bite of a trypanosome infected tsetse fly and affects both humans and animals. In humans, African trypanosomiasis has a case fatality rate of near 100%, if left untreated. While treatments exist, they are often very expensive and toxic. Currently, no vaccine is available. Each year an estimated 60 million Africans are at risk of contracting the disease from daily subsistence activities. Dee's research seeks to reduce the burden of risk through spatial models that identify areas where exposure is most likely, introduce novel applications for vector control in risk areas and develop multi-scale participatory policies to control and eradicate the tsetse fly.If you're interested in talking about your MSU research on the radio or nominating a student, please email Chelsie and Danny at scifiles@impact89fm.org.

Indigenous Resistance to the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion: No Borders Media feature interview with Kanahus & Mayuk Manuel -> Listen, download and share: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/kanahusmayuk On this episode of No Borders Media, we speak to two Indigenous warriors on the frontlines of resistance to pipelines and resource extraction: Kanahus Manuel and Mayuk Manuel of the Tiny House Warriors and the Secwepemc Women Warriors. They have actively resisted the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion project, which would move tar sands crude and refined oil from Alberta to the British Columbia coast. Just outside the injunction zone around the proposed pipeline expansion at Blue River, British Columbia, north of Kamloops, Kanahus and Mayuk speak to No Borders Media by phone and address several topics including: an update about current opposition efforts against 518 km of Trans Mountain pipeline corridor on Secwepemc territory, the impact of man camps used to construct the expansion, the use of wheeled tiny houses as a tactic of resistance, a recent symposium in celebration of the life and ideas of Arthur Manuel, ongoing criminalization of Land Defenders, the various flawed consultation processes to try to force through pipeline approval, and solidarity between Indigenous land defence struggles across Turtle Island. -> Listen, download and share: https://soundcloud.com/nobordersmedia/kanahusmayuk --------- SHOW NOTES: This interview was recorded on September 15, 2019; Kanahus & Mayuk Manuel were speaking from Blue River (Secwepemc Nation). Music: "Wake-up Song" by George Manuel Jr, recorded live in April 2015 in Neskonlith (Secwepemc Nation). The dog heard in the background during the interview is named Tsetse, named after character from Secwepemc stories. Her name means "little sister" and she is a Norwegian Elk Hound cross.

Tsetse fly genetics; roundup of daily news with David Grimm.

Tsetse fly genetics; roundup of daily news with David Grimm.

Evolutionary biologist and author of Sex, Genes & Rock 'n' Roll Professor Rob Brooks joins us to talk beards, monogamy and evolution. Beards seem to be popular now, but we may be approaching 'peak beard', where beards are so common they lose their novelty appeal. Do babies cry at night to stop their parents having more babies? Evolutionary biologist David Haig thinks they may be unintentionally sabotaging their parents' sex lives. A ten year, worldwide project has finally sequenced the Tsetse fly genome. The findings from this massive effort could help in the fight against sleeping sickness, which kills nearly 10,000 people a year. Some dolphins use sea spongers as tools to help forage for food, and it appears to be affecting their diet. The US Food and Drug Administration has approved a new test for human papillomavirus, but while it could one day replace a pap smear, it still requires a cervical sample.

Scientists have achieved a major breakthrough in a programme to eradicate the tsetse fly in Africa by the deciphering of the fly's genetic code. The achievement will allow scientists to better study the insect's biology and reproduction.

Hoy hablamos de la secuenciación del genoma de la mosca Tsetse, transmisora de la enfermedad del sueño, que afecta a 70 millones de personas en el África subsahariana. Comentamos cómo la basura generada por el ser humano inunda todos los hábitats marinos, desde las playas hasta los lugares más remotos y profundos. Y, por último, hablamos de un estudio, realizado en África, que indica que la dieta ingerida por las madres durante la gestación, según ésta se desarrolle en época de lluvias o de sequías, afecta al funcionamiento de determinados genes de los hijos durante toda su vida.

The campaign to eradicate the tsetse fly in Senegal could produce results within the near future. The results from the on-going campaign in the Niayes area near capital Dakar suggests the fly can be successfully eradicated.

Tsetse flies are found in Africa and have caused much harm to the continent by spreading deadly diseases in humans and livestock. African Countries with the support of IAEA are working to control the pest using the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT).

Vincent and Dickson discuss the life cycle and pathogenesis of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma.

Scientists at the IAEA are working on programmes to control the deadly tsetse fly in Africa using a nuclear technology. The fly is the carrier of the parasite that causes a wasting disease in livestock and sleeping sickness in humans - a disease that can lead to death if untreated. Louise Potterton speaks to IAEA entomologist and tsetse fly expert, Udo Feldmann.
