Why isdestroying the places where mosqitoes breed help prevent malaria?

If you get rid of standing water where mosquitoes can lay eggs and produce more mosquitoes, you decrease the population of mosquitoes that can carry the malaria virus. If there aren't as many mosquites to carry malaria, you lessen the chance of being bitten and contracting the virus. This is also works for yellow fever.

It provides a cover for the animals and nutrients that reside there, so that in hot, dry weather, or rainy storms there is covering to keep things from seeping out.\nIt also provides a habitat for many creatures.

Narrated Abu Qilaba: "Anas said, "Some people of 'Ukl or 'Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them. So the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) camels and to drink their milk and urine (as a medicine)... " (Sahih Bukhari, Ablutions (Wudu'), Volume 1, Book 4, Number 234)"\n\nBy North Africa correspondent David Bamford \n\nScientists from the United Arab Emirates have proposed using one of the world's hardiest mammals - the camel - in the campaign to fight and eradicate human diseases. \n\nCamels are free from viruses such as foot and mouth \n\nA team led by Dr Sabah Jassim, from the Zayed Complex for Herbal Research and Traditional Medicine, says camels are highly resistant to many deadly viral diseases and believes their antibodies could be used for new drugs. \n\nCamels have a unique physiology that allows them to thrive in some of the world's harshest environments. \n\nThey can survive the perils of desert dehydration by storing water in their bloodstream; they can survive lack of food by holding extra fatty tissue in their humps; their milk stays fresh much longer than that of a cow. \n\nNatural immunity \n\nBut as well as these advantages, they have immune systems that are so robust. They remain free from many of the viral diseases that affect other mammals, such as foot-and-mouth and rinderpest. \n\nThe antibodies that camels carry inside them are structurally much simpler than those of humans, and Dr Sabah Jassim suggests they could be much simpler to replicate artificially than human antibodies. \n\nWriting in the British Institute of Biology's magazine, The Biologist, Dr Jassim says the small size of camel antibodies would also allow them to penetrate deep into human tissue and cells that would not be otherwise accessible. \n\nHe said the camel antibodies, by being transported from the desert sands into the laboratory test tube, had the potential to be a vital weapon against human diseases.\n\n\n\nSome more info:\n\nThe hadeeth referred to by the questioner is a saheeh hadeeth, in which it says that some people came to Madeenah and fell sick. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told them to drink the milk and urine of camels, and they recovered and grew fat. In the story it also says that they apostatized and killed the camel-herder, then the Muslims caught them and executed them. Narrated by al-Bukhaari (2855) and Muslim (1671). \n\nWith regard to the health benefits of drinking the milk and urine of camels, they are many, and they are well known to the earlier generations of medical science and they have been proven by modern scientific research. \n\nIbn al-Qayyim said: \n\nThe author of al-Qanoon (the Canon) – i.e. the doctor Ibn Seena (Avicenna) – said: \n\nThe most beneficial of urine is the urine of Bedouin camels which are called najeeb. End quote. \n\nZaad al-Ma'aad (4/47, 48). \n\nIn the Emirati newspaper al-Ittihaad (issue no. 11172, Sunday 6 Muharram 1427 AH/5 February 2006) it says: \n\nOne of the most important things for which camels are raised is their milk, which is efficacious in treating many illnesses, including hepatitis, and the digestive system in general, various types of cancer and other diseases. \n\nIn an article by Dr Ahlaam al-'Awadi, which was published in al-Da'wah magazine, issue no. 1938, 25 Safar 1425 AH/15 April 2004 CE, about the diseases which can be treated with camel's milk, as proven by experience, it says that there are many benefits in camel's milk. There follows some of what was said in the article by Dr. Ahlaam: \n\nCamel's urine is efficacious in the treatment of skin diseases such as ringworm, tinea and abscesses, sores that may appear on the body and hair, and dry and wet ulcers. Camel's urine brings the secondary benefits of making the hair lustrous and thick, and removing dandruff from the scalp. Camel's milk is also beneficial in treating

This is for your parasitology class, right.\nBasically, resistance to elimination by the plasmodium falciparum parasite is due to giving insufficient doses to the patient, thus helping the parasite build up a resistance to the chloroquine.\n\nThis is something to worry about with any parasite using any anti-parasitic.  \n\nAny person administering anti-parasitics to a patient must calculate the dosage correctly to avoid resistance to treatment.\n\nCorrect weight/%/dose calculation will guarantee the parasite will be erradicated successfully.\n\nInterestingly, we have the same problem with cockroaches in our dwelling places, what?

Mammtoths were almost certainly exterminated by human hunters. The fact that they survived until historical times on a number of small islands is proof of that.\n\nWhen animal populations succcumb to climate change the fist populations to die off are the isolated island populations. Thatis because they can not migrate Northwards to colder climates climate. In the case of mammoths we see exactly the opposite occuring, with island populations surviving many thousands of years after the continental populations.\n\nThe fact that it was only on islands without humans that mammoths survived adds further weight to the idea that mammoths were exterminated by humans.

Because people are omnivorous, which means we still have a natural instinct towards hunting. Just leaving all the little aminals alone would screw up the ecosystem. They don't overpopulate because there is something hunting them. The game wardens are actually very strict about watching herd size and don't let people wipe out anything. And because it's challenging if done correctly.

Well, there are reports of animals leaving the area before some kind of disaster strikes, and of dogs who can detect when there owners are sick.\n\nThrough the centuries, shamans have sought the guidance of animal spirits, to become more in tuned with the world, to heal the sick, and to make wise decisions for the tribe or clan.\n\nDo I believe any of it? Well, lets just say, that if I ever see a bunch of animals vacating an area, I'm going to vamoose myself.

not sure of exact altitude but I know when I was in Hawaii, the birds that lived up in the mountains there were not affected by avian malaria because the mosqitoes could not survive at that  altitude.  The highest mountains there were not enormous, so don't think they can take much altitude.

They just had a special on the T.V. about DDT. How it has been outlawed here in the U.S.. But they want to use it in Africa, to prevent Malaria. But since it is outlawed here, the Africans do not want it. Yet, with the right application amount they could prevent the outbreak of Malaria.

there are many mutations that happened to be beneficial to humans. for example, sickle cell anemia mutations created a positive effect in africa where malaria was prevalent

To take up their land, that's the official story. It seems though, that they just didn't like Indians too much from the start, and genocide by means of smallpox epidemics is a such a carnival of governmental racism, mon ami! Or perhaps, it was just an massive unethical experiment, yet it doesn't seem feasible... What's known as bioethics these days weren't born then.

there are currently 3 major types of malaria in the world. to protect yourself against this serious desease, consult with a qualified medical practioner. This is no joke. Malaria can kill you, destroy your liver and weaken your heart. Your Doctor can tell you what is best to take based on the region of the world you plan to visit.The malaria in that region is specific to that country. Do not forget about Hep A/B vacines and Cholera as well as Diptheria. You also need to get TB shots and Typhoid as well as an updated  Tetnas shot. If you plan on visiting or working in a third world country, do not play around with your health. I worked around the world in some very isolated areas. You do not want to get sick outside of the western world. By the way, there are no known herbal antimalarial compounds and anyone selling you one is a fraud.

because the areas where they live are destroyed by man, meaning there is less food and less safe places to live. they do not breed easily so do not reproduce quickly enough to keep population numbers high. eventually there will be none left unless people help protect them.

It would be nice if they could set up irrigation techniques like we have, so that when there is a drought the crops and animals can still have water. This could be connected to local streams,ponds, lakes and rivers so as not to cost for the water itself. Stock piling feed on a yearly basis for the animals in a dry place so that is kept viable is a good thing, kind of like a feed savings account for when times are tough. Another reason why they are having so much trouble is that alot of adults are sick or dying from aids and other diseases. There needs to be a major campaign initiated over there to prevent the preventable illnesses. Vaccinations, and education to teach prevention. I often watch the learning channel and I am disgusted at what is happening in Africa that doesn't have to be, especially since other parts of Africa are just as well off as we are over here in the states, it makes me wonder why the government doesn't step in with a plan.
