Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they respond to the specific points made in the reading passage.
Humans have been battling the tropical disease malaria since at least the late fourth century B.C. This debilitating and deadly disease is actually a parasite which reproduces in humans and is spread through the saliva of mosquitoes when they suck blood from humans. While there is still no cure for malaria, there are three main strategies that we hope will lead to the eradication of this disease which kills nearly half a million people around the world each year.
The first strategy is to fight the malaria parasite itself by treating patients with powerful prescription medicines. Patients are tested to determine which strain of the malaria parasite is present, as different areas of the world have different strains of the parasite. Then, an effective medicine is administered to combat the symptoms of the infection.
The second strategy is to kill the mosquitoes that transfer the parasite to humans. Killing the adult mosquitoes using chemical sprays is a common option, but the larvae of the mosquitoes can also be killed where they develop, in pools of warm, still water. These larvae can be killed using chemicals, but another popular approach is to release fish into the water that prey on the larvae such as guppies to eat the larvae before they mature into adults.
The third strategy is called the sterile insect technique. "Sterile" means the insect cannot reproduce. This strategy involves breeding and hatching millions of mosquitoes, sterilizing the males with low-level gamma rays, and then releasing them into the wild population. Females that mate with the sterile males produce eggs which do not hatch, and this causes the mosquitoes to die out. This strategy has been effective in wiping out a number of insect pests including the screw-worm and several types of fruit flies.
Recently, there has been a ton of debate as to the effectiveness to eradicate malaria. More specifically, In regards to thr passage the writer puts forth the idea that there are three processes we can eradicate malaria. However, the lecturer is quick to point out that there are some serious flaws in the writer's claims. In facts, the professor believes these three processes are not effective, and address, in details, the troube with each point made in the reading text.
Firstly, the author of the reading states that by using prescription medicine we can reduce malaria. Some professionals , however , in the same field stands in firm opposition to this claims. In the listening , for example, the lecture claims that these madicine only effective for specific species. He goes on to say that new specises are not killed by those medicine.
Secondly, one group of scholar represented by the writer thinks that by killing the mosquito that transfer the malaria we can eradicate it. Of course, though , not all experts in this sector belives this is accurate. Again the professor specifically address this point when he states that in this process the most of the mosquito fly away .Additionall he notes that fishes and other species can be affected.
Finally, the author wraps his argument by positing that by sterilize the male mosquito we can eradicate the malaria. Not surprisingly, the professor takes issue by contending that these sterilised male can not mate with the femail mosquitos and the mating ability of these mosquito also deleted.
To sum up, both the witer and l;ecturer halds conflicting view about the effectiveness to eradicate malaria. It is clear that, they will have trouble in finding common ground on this issue.
