Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Today is World Malaria Day (April 25), published by tobytrem on April 25, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Malaria is massive. Our World in Data writes: "Over half a million people died from the disease each year in the 2010s. Most were children, and the disease is one of the leading causes of child mortality." Or, as Rob Mather, CEO of the Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) phrases it: the equivalent of seven jumbo jets full of children die of Malaria each day. But I don't see malaria in the news that much. This is partly because it was eradicated from Western countries over the course of the 20th century, both because of intentional interventions such as insecticide, and because of the draining of swamp lands and building of better housing. But it's also because malaria is a slow catastrophe, like poverty, and climate change. We've dealt with it to varying degrees throughout history, and though it is an emergency to anyone affected by it, to the rest of us, it's a tropical disease which has been around forever. It can be hard to generate urgency when a problem has existed for so long. But there is a lot that we can do. Highly effective charities work on malaria; the Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) distributes insecticide treated bed-nets, and a Malaria Consortium program offers seasonal malaria chemoprevention treatment- both are GiveWell Top Charities. Two malaria vaccines, RTS,S and the cheaper R21[1], have been developed in recent years[2]. Malaria is preventable. Though malaria control and eradication is funded by international bodies such as The Global Fund, there isn't nearly enough money being spent on it. AMF has an immediate funding gap of $185.78m. That's money for nets they know are needed. And though vaccines are being rolled out, progress has been slower than it could be, and the agencies distributing them have been criticised for lacking urgency. Malaria is important, malaria is neglected, malaria is tractable. If you want to do something about malaria today, consider donating to Givewell's recommendations: AMF, or the Malaria Consortium: Related links I recommend Why we didn't get a malaria vaccine sooner; an article in Works in Progress.

Malaria is one of humanity's oldest diseases – and one with which we have evolved. Transcript Malaria is one of humanity's oldest diseases – and one with which we have evolved. Over time, it's put selective pressure on our genome to respond better to its infection. Sickle cell disease is one example. It causes a defect in hemoglobin – transforming red blood cells into a banana or sickle shape – reducing the amount of oxygen transported to the body's cells. The mutation has been around for more than 20,000 years – and is thought to originate near present-day Cameroon. But in one of the many evolutionary twists, under the right conditions, sickle cell disease can protect humans from malaria, because it makes it harder for malaria parasites to infect red blood cells. Possessing one copy is an asset, providing resistance to severe malaria, but if two copies of the mutation appear, it is a liability, leading to premature death. The evolutionary relationship between malaria endemicity and sickle cell disease is evident geographically. This complex, genetic legacy is the focus of an upcoming talk by Ambroise Wonkam at the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute's World Malaria Day symposium on April 25th.  Source Evolutionary history of sickle-cell mutation: implications for global genetic medicine About The Podcast The Johns Hopkins Malaria Minute podcast is produced by the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute to highlight impactful malaria research and to share it with the global community.

Our guest this week is Dr James Kelley, Team Lead for Malaria and Vector-borne Diseases in the World Health Organization's Western Pacific Regional Office.

Sudan: UN working to deliver amid dire humanitarian situationUkraine: calls to execute POWs could amount to war crimes: OHCHRWorld Malaria Day: better prevention could save tens of thousands of children each year: WHO

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: World Malaria Day: Reflecting on Past Victories and Envisioning a Malaria-Free Future, published by 2ndRichter on April 25, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. World Malaria Day, inaugurated in 2017 by the United Nations World Health Organization, reminds us of malaria's impact on humanity and the role we can take in preventing the disease. Malaria was only eradicated from areas like Europe as recently as the 1970s, and nearly half of the world's population was still at risk of malaria in 2021. Over 600,000 people died of malaria in 2021 and 247 million people contracted the disease in 2021—and three-quarters of those deaths were children under five. Almost half of the world's countries have eradicated malaria since 1945, and we have reason to hope that countries still affected can eradicate it as well. With significant scientific advancements, we know that effective malaria prevention can be impactful and relatively cheap. Typical interventions to prevent and treat malaria include insecticide-treated bednets, removing standing water from affected areas, and antiviral medications—and some of these interventions are relatively cheap. Only $5 USD can provide one malaria net and $7 can protect a child from malaria through malaria chemoprevention. Roughly $5000 USD will provide enough bednets or seasonal medicine doses to save someone's life. Recent advances in vaccines against malaria and in work exploring the use of gene drives provide further hope that we could eradicate malaria from countries that are still affected. On World Malaria Day, we encourage you to donate to Giving What We Can's fundraiser partnering with the Against Malaria Foundation and the Malaria Consortium. Malaria is preventable and treatable; a lack of resources leaves people personally affected by the disease or affected by the loss of loved ones. Your giving can directly impact the lives of those affected by malaria: if we reached the $1 million USD fundraising goal, we could directly prevent roughly 200 deaths from malaria. Put simply, this is an area where we really can make a difference. Plasmodium falciparum prevalence from 2000 to 2019. The decreasing amount of red, orange, and yellow represents the decreasing prevalence of one of the deadliest strains of malaria due to prevention efforts. Data from, animation idea by Sam Deere. Where we've been Malaria has been a part of human history for thousands of years, from infections in ancient Rome to the infections of several U.S. presidents. Early treatment for malaria came in the form of quinine from the cinchona tree, first isolated by French chemists in 1820, and was commonly administered in the form of tonic water or the gin and tonic. French surgeon Alphonse Laveran discovered the plasmodium parasite as the cause of malaria in 1880, opening up further research that would identify antimalarials like chloroquine and DDT. Proportion of deaths from malaria to deaths from all causes in the eastern United States, 1870 US Census. From Our World In Data/Statistical Atlas from the 9th Census of the United States 1870 (published 1874). Fighting malaria was the impetus for developing public health infrastructure in a number of countries. The predecessor to the United States Centers for Disease Control was the Office of Malaria Control in War Areas, designed to limit the impact of malaria during World War II around US military bases in the Southern United States (hence its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia rather than Washington DC). Roughly half of the world's countries have eliminated malaria in their territories through public health efforts, including some in tropical regions where malaria is most likely to be prevalent. 79 countries eliminated malaria from 1945 to 2010, and several more since 2010. Countries must achieve at least three consecutive y...

In this episode, we are going to celebrate World Malaria Day with our co-host and guests. This year's theme is Time to Deliver Zero Malaria, and it is focused on investing, innovating, and implementing tools that are available today and innovating for future tools. WHO calls to action include prioritising funding for the most marginalised and hard to reach populations who are less able to access services and are the hardest hit when it comes to becoming ill from malaria. To help us understand more, we have co-host, Dr. Hellen Barsosio, who is a medical Kenyan doctor who has been investigating risk factors, tools, and interventions to prevent adverse birth outcomes, and more recently research on preventing malaria in pregnancy. She is in her final year of her PhD at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine under the Department of Clinical Science, where her PhD focuses on new drugs to prevent malaria in pregnancy. The WHO also calls for stepping up innovation for new vector control approaches, so we have two guests with us today to help us to understand what those are. We will be speaking to reader and Wolfson Fellow, Dr. Grant Hughes, and reader, Dr. Tony Nolan from the Vector Biology and Tropical Disease Biology Department at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. Tony has led the development of genetic tools to better understand the biology of mosquitoes that transmit malaria, and this has led to the development of genetic approaches to control mosquito populations. This is to decrease the amount of malaria transmission. Tony is also using some of these tools to understand how insecticides work, and in particular, how mosquitoes can evolve resistance to insecticides. Grant is currently focusing on novel control strategies for arboviruses and malaria, and his overarching goal is to develop approaches which will either reduce mosquito numbers, or stop these mosquitoes transmitting the pathogens that make people ill. This episode features: Dr Hellen Barsosio - Clinical Research Scientist and section Head Maternal and New-born Health Studies, Malaria Program, KEMRI-CGHR Over the past 11 years, Hellen has been investigating risk factors, tools and interventions to prevent adverse birth outcomes, and more recently research on preventing malaria in pregnancy as one of the causes of adverse birth outcomes in malaria endemic areas. She trained in Kenya as a medical doctor, and did her post-graduate studies at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and University of Oxford. She is in the final year of her PhD at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine under the department of Clinical Science where her PhD work focuses on new drugs to prevent malaria in pregnancy. Dr Tony Nolan - Reader in Insect Genetics and Research Group Leader, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine Tony has led the development of genetic tools to better understand the biology of mosquitoes that transmit malaria. This has led to the development of genetic approaches to control mosquito populations, in order to decrease the amount of malaria transmission. Tony is also using some of these genetic tools to understand how insecticides work and, in particular, how mosquitoes can evolve resistance to insecticides. Dr Grant Hughes - Reader and Royal Society Wolfson Fellow, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine Grant has been investigating the use of microbes to control mosquito-borne diseases for over 15 years. After undertaking a PhD at the University of Queensland in Australia looking at microbial control of crop pests, Grant moved to the US to complete a post-doctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health to examine how a bacteria called Wolbachia infected mosquitoes and interacted with Plasmodium parasites, the parasites that cause Malaria. After further work at Penn State University,...

"Banasura Hill in Wayanad is one of the tallest mountains and is named after Banasura, son of the great demon king Mahabali and himself a legendary king with a thousand arms. But what could he have to do with the fact that Malaria is endemic in Wayanad? Meanwhile, the entire district is known to have leeches, with the exception of the town of Pulpally, which is Leech free? And what could it have to do with the famed Hindu epic Ramayan? This week, we travel to Wayanad in Kerala and discover the connections between Malaria, blood-sucking leeches and the lessons for us in the Wayanad Ramayanas."

News analysis

Malaria, a serious disease caused by the plasmodium pathogen which is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes, affects some 228 million people worldwide each year and kills more than 600,000—90% of whom live in Africa. On World Malaria Day, Dr. George Dimopolous of the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute talks with Stephanie Desmon about his lab's research into genetically modifying mosquitoes so they can't carry plasmodium—a potential game-changer in the fight against malaria. They also talk about other approaches to controlling and ending malaria, and techniques being used in the US to fight dengue and Zika.

Malaria remains a major global health problem with nearly half of the world's population at risk of contracting malaria. In 2020, the World Health Organisation estimated there were 240 million cases of malaria and more than 620,000 deaths. It is also a disease of inequity with nearly all malaria deaths occurring in African children. To mark  World Malaria Day, QIMR Berghofer researcher, Associate Professor Bridget Barber discusses the need for new anti-malaria drugs.Her research group is at the forefront of malaria research where they inoculate volunteer groups with malaria to test new drugs and evaluate their safety and efficacy. And as host Bridie Barry discovers, recent published findings are promising.

The United Nation's World Health Organisation has called for accelerating scaled-up efforts to prevent Malaria. Malaria remains a major public health threat, killing one child every two minutes worldwide in 2015. As today Marks World Malaria Day, health activists say a much bigger push for prevention, especially in Africa, which bears the greatest burden of the disease, is needed. Tsepiso Makwetla spoke to Chief Executive Officer of Goodbye Malaria Sherwin Charles

We’ll start off with a trivia question: What is the name of the canal and lock system that connects the North American Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean? We’ll have the answer in the show. Today is World Malaria Day, Flag Day in Swaziland, and Liberation Day in Italy. It’s unofficially National Plumber’s Day, National Telephone Day, and Hairstylists Appreciation Day. It’s the birthday of journalist Edward R. Murrow, who was born in 1908; singer Ella Fitzgerald, who was born in 1917; and actor Al Pacino, who is 77. Now, we’ll spin the wheel to pick a year at random. This week in 1977 U.S. was “Southern Nights” by Glen Campbell.

Just few weeks before World Malaria Day, a new type of mosquito which threatens to spread malaria in South Africa has been discovered. A team of scientists from the Wits Research Institute for Malaria, who made the discovery, says this means South Africa needs to intensify malaria vector control. One of the Scientists who supervised the research is Prof Maureen Coetzee, the director of the Wits Malaria Research Institute. She joins us on the line to tell us more.

Sir Richard Feachem discusses a review of the progress made globally in the eradication and elimination of malaria.

Humanity is winning the fight against Malaria, but we still have a long way to go. Since the advent of the Global Fund, the Millennium Development Goals and the President's Malaria Initiative, death and illness rates have dropped precipitously around the globe. Now, talk of total worldwide eradication is not as preposterous as it may seem. This is the message that Martin Edlund of Malaria No More has for the policy community ahead of World Malaria Day on April 25. Despite the progress, though, he argues that there are still big challenges ahead -- particularly the spread of drug resistant Malaria in the Mekong Delta. This is a great episode for anyone who wants to learn why a disease that haunted humanity for millennia is now on the ropes.

On April 25th, 2013, for World Malaria Day, the Pulitzer Center hosted a Google Hangout on fake drugs around the world. Pulitzer Center grantee Kathleen McLaughlin spoke about her reporting project on fake drugs in east Africa, and her work tracking the origins of the drugs back to China and India. Cobus Van Staden of The China in Africa Podcast and Dr. Patrick Lukulay, program director for the Promoting the Quality of Medicines initiative at the US Pharmacopeial Convention, also spoke about their experiences. Don't miss this fascinating conversation. Learn more about fake drugs in east Africa here http://bit.ly/fakedrugs1

The good news is malaria deaths in Africa dropped by a third between 2000 and 2011. The bad news is more than half a million children still die each year. But the worst bit is that these deaths are preventable. Malaria is both preventable and curable, for relatively little money, yet access to nets, treatment and diagnosis is not equal. As we approach World Malaria Day 2013, Antoinette Powell talks to John Kitui, Christian Aid’s programme advisor on community health, to discover how our partners are helping to address this inequality.

In our podcast to mark World Malaria Day, 25th April 2012, we discover the supreme versatility of the humble net. In conversation with Christian Aid’s Technical Health Advisor Felicia Price, we discuss some of the alternative and rather creative ways we’ve come across people using insecticide treated mosquito nets in malaria prone communities. And we explore why, in places terribly affected by malaria, people are making these sometimes seemingly illogical choices.

London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Audio News: World Malaria Day: Experimental Vaccination Method Brings Immunity LONDON: On World Malaria Day 2011 news was released that an experimental form of vaccination for malaria has given protection against the disease and should help scientists to understand the immune processes which need to be harnessed to achieve effective vaccination. The findings are written up in an article in the medical journal The Lancet by Professor Robert Sauerwein from Nijmegen University in The Netherlands and his colleagues, who report that when volunteers were deliberately infected with malaria while being treated with the prophylactic drug chloroquine they became resistant to subsequent infection 2.5 years later. Audio News hears from Professor Brian Greenwood of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine who co-wrote a comment article on this in The Lancet.

A special meeting of leading world experts on malaria — held at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine — heard that eradication of the disease is a viable global goal and that the challenge of using the effective known drugs and developing new ones can be met. Brian Greenwood, Professor of Tropical Medicine at the School, told Sarah Maxwell about recent developments which are bringing so much hope.

The meeting of world experts on malaria — held at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine — heard about fighting the global battle against malaria with well-organised health systems to deliver drug cures to those who need them and about the importance of communicating knowledge to the public. Sarah Maxwell hears a world-wide perspective from David Bell, Medical Officer of the WHO Global Malaria Programme; from Shunmay Yeung of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine on techniques being developed to help cope with the threat of drug resistance; and from Sarah Kline about:”Malaria No More UK” an organisation tackling malaria in Africa by raising funds and awareness in the United Kingdom and beyond.

World Malaria Day: discussion with Pam Das, and an interview with Sir Richard Feachem.

In this episode, as we mark World Malaria Day on 25 April, we look at what needs to be done in all endemic regions to control, eliminate and ultimately eradicate malaria.

'The pieces are increasingly in place to achieve the Secretary General's vision for universal coverage and make rapid gains toward ending malaria deaths in Africa. With one child dying every 30 seconds from malaria in Africa, we have not a moment to lose'. In a joint podcast between The Lancet and The Lancet Infectious Diseases, Sally Hargreaves assesses renewed efforts to scale up prevention and treatment of malaria, coinciding with World Malaria Day on April 25.
