Malaria research given �28m boost | the Daily Mail
See link above for story about the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine getting big money fromm the Gates Foundation to work on anti malaria measures.
Isn't it a little odd that they do this work in England? Do mosquitoes exist there at all even in summer? Can't some tropical (or semi tropical) country do this work and not have to import the mosquitoes?
Just wondering..
Anyway, good on you Gates.
The UK has mosquitoes actually. Quite lot of them too, and some of them occasionally bite.
ReplyDeleteHOWEVER, Malaria is pretty much null in this country, and without picking malaria back up from a person, a mosquito cannot pass it onto others, you see. ;)
So yes, we have mosquitoes. We just don't have any that carry malaria.
In history, there have been outbreaks of malaria. A quick google will tell you everything you need to know.
lol, I just got bit by one of these buggers a few minutes ago. Annoying things.
