Welcome to Mosquito Week 2021 on the Gates Notes. |
|
Last year, many people feared a malaria catastrophe. An analysis by the World Health Organization found that disruptions to malaria control and treatment due to COVID-19 could lead to a dramatic increase in malaria deaths in sub-Saharan Africa. |
|
A year later, I’m happy to report that this worst-case scenario, at least for now, has been avoided. |
|
This Mosquito Week I share the story of how African countries averted disaster by quickly adapting their malaria programs to meet the challenges of the pandemic. |
|
I also highlight the research the U.S. military is doing to combat the mosquito, which has caused more casualties for troops than bombs and bullets. |
|
Finally, I provide an update on an amazing breakthrough that might control the spread of dengue fever, a terrible mosquito-borne disease that infects 400 million people every year. |
|
Thanks for your interest in learning about all the innovation underway to fight diseases spread by the world’s deadliest animal. |
