positions where it could be controlled. Dr. Michael Riehle and his assistants are using mosquitoes to control and help handle malaria. Mosquitoes can be used to control malaria, but malaria multiplies and travels primarily by mosquito. If we modify the mosquito to destroy the disease, as it is weak and being developed, it will slow the multiplying process for malaria.…

continuing high global emissions coupled with fast population growth, the number of people exposed to the virus can be doubled, like progress around 8 to 9 billion later on in future.“As we get continued warming, it’s going to become more difficult to control mosquitoes,” says Andrew Monaghan, who is studying the interaction of climate and health at the National Center for Atmospheric Research…

disease in 2015. The risk of the Zika virus has recently become a threat in the United States with 1,860 reported cases (Center for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] (June 22, 2016). This paper looks at a comparison of methods to prevent transmission of the Zika virus in both the United States and Brazil.

azar. The first problem was how the disease even migrated or spread over continents and eventually to the Indian continent. The health officials were unfamiliar with this disease, often mistaking it with malaria. With no vaccine and no idea of any control mechanisms, it took many infected patients and a few years for them to determine that it was infact Kala azar and not malaria. Ending the first section of the book, Desowitz tells us that Leishmania donovani, the vector for the Kala azar…
