HuffPost Green Examines Relationship Between Environment, Malaria
As part of its series on the relationships between human, animal and environmental health, titled "The Infection Loop," HuffPost Green examines how changes in climate and landscape, human movement, agricultural practices, and microbe adaptation are affecting the spread of malaria. "Our disease-fighting weaponry has certainly improved in recent years, from the widespread distribution of insecticide-treated bed nets to hopeful progress towards a malaria vaccine," but some "experts suggest that getting ahead of the disease, let alone maintaining a lead, is far easier said than done," according to the article, which includes quotes from malaria researchers working in several academic disciplines (Peeples, 11/16).
