The city was built amidst mosquito infested swampland, and its name derives from the Greek thérmē thérma , (malarial) fever .

Using genetic engineering techniques, the British company Oxitec has created new varieties of the mosquito species that transmit dengue fever.

Malaria poses a unique challenge, owing in large part to Africa s mosquito species, which are especially adept at transmitting the disease.

In the fight against malaria, my Government has distributed free treated mosquito nets to pregnant women and children below the age of five.

A single bite from a malaria bearing mosquito is enough to end a child's life for want of a bed net or 1 treatment.

But presenting the facts in a reasonable manner, as Florida mosquito control authorities have attempted to do, has not been enough to change opponents minds.

In a malaria infested country, mosquito eradication programs can boost production and even increase effective land usage, as acres that were almost uninhabitable become livable.

Consider, similarly, the death and illness caused by malaria, which can be reduced very sharply through the use of mosquito nets for beds and anti malaria medicines.

No matter how many tons of medicine and mosquito nets we distribute, we know it will not be enough unless we invest in people and local capacity.

According to the published accounts of these experimental releases, the approach was highly effective, reducing the infected mosquito population by 80 in the Cayman Islands and by 90 in Brazil.

In comparison, spending 3 billion annually on mosquito nets, environmentally safe indoor DDT sprays, and subsidies for effective new combination therapies could halve the total number of those infected within one decade.

We know that dissemination of mosquito nets and malaria prevention programs could cut malaria incidence in half by 2015 for about 3 billion annually less than 2 of the cost of Kyoto.

The results of both the 2000 Flower of Fern campaign and a UNDP study had indicated that the vast majority of men did not recognize any personal responsibility in family planning, and the Government was aware that such an attitude had to be changed through education.

Malaria can be controlled through newly designed long lasting mosquito nets and a new generation of effective medicines. Other tropical diseases also can be controlled, and practical technologies for safe drinking water can dramatically reduce diarrheal diseases.

Consequently, Nigeria had adopted a poverty alleviation strategy that offered credit to rural women and universal vaccination against polio, measles and meningitis, as well as the distribution of insecticide treated mosquito nets to children in rural areas.

Although no explicit mention is made of the provision of insecticide treated netting to protect humans against the bite of the mosquito that transmits malaria, such measures would also be necessary to combat the spread of that disease.

But presenting the facts in a reasonable manner, as Florida mosquito control authorities have attempted to do, has not been enough to change opponents minds. Unfortunately, those who choose ignorance are immune to or simply prefer to ignore reason.

And we're going to show you, instead of the kill laser, which will be a very brief, instantaneous pulse, we're going to have a green laser pointer that's going to stay on the mosquito for, actually, quite a long period of time otherwise, you can't see it very well.

Nathan Myhrvold and team's latest inventions as brilliant as they are bold remind us that the world needs wild creativity to tackle big problems like malaria. And just as that idea sinks in, he rolls out a live demo of a new, mosquito zapping gizmo you have to see to believe.
