New Strain Of Malaria Hits Thailand

Recommended Posts

Anyway, DDT rules! (Trust me on this one)

I believe you, apart from egg shells of birds, eating the bugs etc...

But what scares me is the possibility that the average Thai farmer won't give a dam_n (or know about) the food chain, and it will end up on our plates here in CM!!!

Not to mention the Thai rice export damage.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDT

There is epidemiological evidence (i.e. studies in humans) that DDT causes cancer of the liver, pancreas and breast. There is mixed evidence that it contributes to leukemia, lymphoma and testicular cancer.

Be nice if they could invent some form of cloned fish eggs, that could be sprayed by air.. the ones that eat the mossies.

Probably way too expensive. There is the sterility inducing methods, can't rememeber how that works, some genetically modified females or similar.

dam_n those mozzies.

Im surprised there isnt sickle cell in Asia.

Sickle cell in Humans is due to a genetic mutation that has been naturally selected over time by malaria. And there are Asians who have sickle cell...the majority live on or near the Indian subcontinent.

THe biomass of mozzies is SO vast that it really can't be destroyed - if it was it would seriously imbalance the environment.

Prevention of certain species and prevention of infection (i.e. through biting) is the only course to take DDT has no part in this.
