One of the most compelling challenges we face is malaria. About 3.4 billion people &#8211; half the world\u2019s population &#8211; are at risk of malaria. In Africa,&nbsp;<strong>a child dies every 2 MINUTES<\/strong>&nbsp;from malaria. In addition to deaths, the social and economic costs from the illness are huge, estimated at $12 billion a year in Africa alone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 12.16px; line-height: 15.808px;\">It is my pleasure to note that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/emergingag.com\/fr\/?p=61\">Cible le paludisme&nbsp;<\/a>is nominated for the \u201cMoonshot\u201d award by Wired.<a href=\"http:\/\/targetmalaria.org\/\">&nbsp;Cible le paludisme<\/a>&nbsp;is a not-for-profit consortium aiming to reduce the population of malaria-transmitting mosquitoes in sub-Saharan Africa. By reducing the population of malaria mosquitoes, they can reduce the transmission of the disease. You can&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.co.uk\/article\/most-exciting-moonshot\">vote here<\/a>&nbsp;to support them and other innovators in this category (second award grouping).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 12.16px; line-height: 15.808px;\">Innovation is something that should be encouraged and celebrated in every sector. The Wired Audi Innovation Awards promote teams and individuals striving to break down barriers in whatever sector they\u2019re working in.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 12.16px; line-height: 15.808px;\">In February 2016, scientist Astor Teller laid out the principles of the \u201cMoonshot\u201d philosophy. A moonshot, he said, should be firstly about solving \u201ca huge problem in the world that affects many millions of people\u201d &#8211; like malaria. Second, a moonshot should not settle for half-baked measures: it has to provide a \u201cradical solution\u201d that can do away with the problem for good. The last criterion, Teller explained, is the reasonable expectation that technology can actually solve the problem. Moonshots should be as much about pragmatism as they are about dreaming. Target Malaria incorporates all of this criteria, and excels in its field. Not only is this a cutting-edge research project, but it also has the potential to save millions of lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 12.16px; line-height: 15.808px;\">Specifically, the Target Malaria team is researching approaches that can reduce the numbers of mosquitoes that spread malaria. By reducing the population of the malaria mosquito, (a very specific beast called Anopheles), they are able to combat transmission of the disease. Their strategy relies on reducing the number of female malaria mosquitoes. Only female Anopheles gambiae transmit the disease, and a reduction in the number of females limits reproduction and the future population size, therefore dropping the transmission of malaria. This approach is expected to be complementary to other mosquito control methods, easy and inexpensive to implement, because the mosquitoes themselves do the work of stopping malaria. The control method would be a long-term, sustainable, and cost effective solution to prevent malaria.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ability to create innovative products is essential for improved living.
