Malaria#
In den Gates Notes vom 19. August 2024 prophezeit Bill Gates, der sich seit Jahren mit viel Engagement und viel privatem Vermögen dem Kampf gegen Malaria widmet, dass in absehbarer Zeit die Malaria besiegt sein wird.
Zitat:
"I believe that in the next five to eight years, we’ll have the tools to not only eliminate malaria from certain countries but eradicate it everywhere. For this year’s Mosquito Week, I’ve written a post about these innovative tools—including next-generation vaccines, genetic modification, long-acting preventatives, single-dose treatments, and better ways to trap mosquitoes and kill their larvae—and what their successful development and widespread adoption would mean for the world.
I’ve also written about an exciting new innovation that's been added to our fight against malaria: VectorCam, a phone app that uses computer vision to identify mosquito species in seconds. It’s still early days, but this groundbreaking technology is already revolutionizing how scientists track malaria-carrying mosquitoes—which could allow for faster, more targeted interventions.
The fight against malaria has been long and challenging. But with these new innovations, we're getting closer than ever to turning the tide, saving millions more lives, and ending the disease for good. Check out Mosquito Week on Gates Notes for a deeper dive into how we're outsmarting these tiny yet formidable foes. And be sure to follow along on my Instagram and YouTube channels throughout the week for even more."
