Breaking News: The WHO approved the first ever malaria vaccine, which could save tens of thousands of children in sub-Saharan Africa. The quest for this vaccine has been underway for a hundred years, a WHO official said, and is a "historic event." https://t.co/i1hcYBhbvb pic.twitter.com/wTNg6xWmzU— The New York Times (@nytimes) October 6, 2021

Researchers in Uganda analyzed blood samples from patients treated with artemesinin, the primary medicine used for malaria in Africa in combination with other drugs. They found that by 2019, nearly 20 percent of the samples had genetic mutations suggesting the treatment was ineffective. Lab tests showed it took much longer for those patients to get rid of the parasites that cause malaria.
Meet the invasive Aedes mosquito, an insect that really wants to bite you.
Originally from ASIA, the Aedes mosquito is thought to have made its way to California from a shipment of BAMBOO FROM CHINA [!] in 2001[?!], according to the Los Angeles Times.
Now, the population of the mosquito has grown so rapidly that numerous counties in the state are trying to control the population rather than eradicate it.
But what makes these mosquitoes so much MORE TERRIFYING than others? Their preference for biting humans. [...] "Compared to the native mosquitoes here, they can actually be more resistant to a lot of the pesticides we put out in our yard," he said. "Our fear is that the resistance will be built up enough where it's not as effective."
