Dr. Corine Ngufor from London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine has given science a new breakthrough.
According to Gates Foundation, Dr. Ngufor and her team designed a double - insecticide nets "infused with chlorfenapyr" that prevent the mosquitoes from producing energy, thereby leading to their death. The rationale for this strategy seems to be very simple. It stops malaria from the source, since the mosquito dies, when they cannot fly.
However, due to climate change or random variation of the ecosystem, the adaptation of mosquitoes is non negotiable but advance in science like this idea from Dr. Corine and her team will give global health, the needed opportunity to overcome this new adaptation skills from mosquitoes and lead to eliminating malaria from its source.
