How to End Malaria Once and for All | Abdoulaye Diabaté | TED
Malaria is a disease as old as humankind, yet we may be closer than ever to eliminating it, says medical entomologist Abdoulaye Diabaté. He explains the potential of “gene drive” technology — which aims to disrupt mosquito reproduction as a means of halting malaria transmission in Africa — and shows how his team is partnering…

Building trust in crypto with Jonathan Levin of Chainalysis | Equity Podcast
Late last week, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chair Gary Gensler said that he was “proud to serve” the agency, which some are taking as a hint at an upcoming resignation. Gensler has faced heavy criticism for his crackdown on crypto, including a recent lawsuit from 18 states, and is likely to be replaced under…

I hope they succeed. It’s a terrible disease indeed.
It’s not so big a problem in South America when compared to Africa, but we still lose a lot of people to it every year.

Madagascar had the most successful malaria prevention program on the planet in 1970. They took malaria from the 7th primary cause of death in the county to less than 50 cases per year.
Through simple and consistent yearly investment in mosquito eradication.
A program they were forced to gut in the 1990’s to make sure JP Morgan Chase could get their interest payments paid first. Which is far more important to the free market than the lives of people on Madagascar.

Malaria is not found in more developed countries because of sanitation. If more people had better ways to treating their waste, like having toilets or knew how to do safe composting of their fecal and urine waste, you could get rid of most of the malaria cases. The people are brewing malaria, and the mosquitoes are just the ones spreading it around. Just take care of the source, and you wont need to play god with a genetic roulette which might break more eco systems in the long run.

What is the impact on the species which are dependent on mosquitoes? Birds, amphibians, fish? How can you be sure that getting rid of one species will not start a collapse in the food chain which will eventually hit you back. There no insight on the environmental impact in this talk. Has anyone even thought about it? We used to think that spraying DDT everywhere is a great way of resolving problems. We should be wiser than that by now 🤔

Also there are many types of mosquitoes and as far as I understand only the ones that cause disease in humans would be affected by the gene drive

🌍 Malaria is ancient yet still kills millions. 🌴 New gene drive tech may eliminate it in Africa soon. 🔬 Step-by-step approach to testing and community engagement is key. 🧬 Building African scientific capacity is crucial. 💭 A world free of malaria is the vision.

What the speaker said at the end of his speech it’s true; it is correct that the place where we born affects our future and our destiny. He’s right ethically: why an African child should have less possibilities than a European or American child? What’s his/her fault?(because he/she is born in Africa?) About the annihilation of that type of mosquitoes, I presume scientists have to decide, they have all the necessary knowledges for that. However, I don’t know if in Europe or in America politicians considered the environmental aspect (killing mosquitoes would have affected the nature)when it was defeated the Malaria.

The video is a TED Talk by Abdoulaye Diabaté, a medical entomologist from Burkina Faso. He discusses the potential to eliminate malaria in Africa using gene drive technology.
🦟 Malaria is an ancient disease that still kills millions in Africa and Asia.
💉 Current interventions like vaccines and bed nets are threatened by resistance.
💡 Diabaté’s team is developing a “gene drive” technology that could disrupt mosquito reproduction and halt malaria transmission.
⚠️ This technology is promising but also carries risks, so they are taking an incremental approach to testing and community engagement.
🌍 Capacity building in Africa is also crucial to enable Africans to deploy and manage the technology themselves.
🙏 Diabaté expresses hope that a malaria-free world is possible with these efforts..
