Multiple Strategies Needed to Control Malaria? * Multiple strategies against malaria are needed because there are numerous species of vectors and four species ofPlasmodium. * Some populations of Plasmodium‚ especially Plasmodium falciparum‚ are resistant to drugs‚ so alternative drugs need to be used. * Research needs to be done on new drugs as a "reserve weapon" for future cases of drug resistance. Unfortunately‚ drug resistance is more common in malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum‚ the

such as dengue fever‚ West Nile virus‚ and Lyme disease. Increasing temperatures and rainfall have been associated with increased occurrence and transmission of insect-borne diseases like West Nile virus. Higher temperatures can lead to more rapid development of dangerous pathogens within insect carriers and allow these diseases to expand their range into new‚ once cooler‚ regions. Approximately 173 million Americans in at least 28 states live in counties with mosquitoes that can carry dengue fever

Human Adaptation to Malaria Widespread disease has been a great cause of rapid mortality rates throughout history. As some diseases vanish or become less prominent in society‚ cultural and biological anthropologists have been able to conduct research on to how human adaptation and resistance to disease occurs. Based on interconnectedness of aspects such as economy‚ population distribution‚ horticulture‚ environment and anatomy‚ biological anthropologists and cultural anthropologists

Similarly‚ I believe that if those distributers would volunteer to hang the nets in African homes themselves‚ malaria prevention would have higher rates. In his article “The $10 Solution”‚ Sachs argues for a cheap and practical solution for the problem of malaria in Africa. The author starts by highlighting
