As a Doctor of tropical medicine, I regularly see firsthand the effects of one particular deadly creature. Its bite kills two million people a year, and its name comes from Spanish word meaning " small fly". We know it as a mosquito, and I' m looking for one in particular, the anopheles, the carrier of the deadly parasite that causes malaria. And surprisingly, I' m not deep in a tropical jungle, I' m ponddipping in Kent. Hi, Chris. Hello. Yvonne Linton is an entomologist and biomedical researcher from the museum. Be careful on the way down. She' s about to show me that the anopheles are not only here, they' re thriving right under our noses. There' s been a lot. That' s not a Mosquito. It' s a beetle. See it paranoid. And I have reason to be paranoid. Although malaria was successfully eradicated from the UK in the 1950s, since then, no proper studies have been carried out. Yvonne' s work is changing that, and it starts with a study of the larvae. |
