Malaria and Africa

  Science has improved into a complex reasoning.   Everyday,we hear of endless applications emanating from this submerging entity called "science",ranging from research,cosmology,psychology,pharmacy,bio-chemistry,genetic engineering etc. But yet,this evolving culture has failed to heal our crippling age  from the plagues that scourge it. Diseases are more rampant with the advancement in science.African populations are the most affected from these dreadful diseases,although the winds of change are slowly drifting to Africa, yet it is constantly been repelled by civil wars,corruption,and ignorance,thus making the outbreak and insurgence of diseases in this black continent,constant and rather too rampant. Although there is the availability of the structures and equipments to facilitate in the study,discovery and eventual elimination of these diseases,yet,the cure still eludes us.Common amongst these diseases is malaria, from mosquito bites. Malaria has evolved as many times as man has,and is the biggest killer in Africa,it has evolved into a more resilient strain of disease.It has being a serious killer in the ancient world and is now a more deadly killer in this present age,responsible for the death of millions in Africa alone.
  Although Man has grown in complexities,his reasoning embroidened,his abilities limitless. Though we developed ways to travel to space in order to explore and study -the moon and the planets, in order to debridge the gap of extra-terrestrial mysticism.We have designed cars,airplanes, trains,cloning-experiments,jets,nuclear stations etc,we have developed things that a hundred years back would seem a complete impossibility,but still we have failed to find a solution to this disease that has plagued us right from the very start. Although science has led to the discovery of vaccines capable of curbing the effects of this disease,which is a positive sign, that in the not too distant future, a vaccine for the complete annihilation of this disease may be discovered. But yet this glimpse of hope is restricted from Africa,where the vector of this disease breeds in the millions.Although programs which have led to the destruction of adult mosquitoes and their breeding sites in many European countries and North America and Chile etc are available,the amount of resources and money invested into them are enormous,which raises a question,if African countries can be able to afford them,when high rates of financial dissolutions and constant civil wars are the order of the day. YES, i think African countries can stake such programs,but the total annihilation of mosquitoes and malaria in Africa is still very much a distant prospect.
