The CDC wasn't born as the Center for Disease Control as we know it. Before that, it was the Contagious Disease Center, and before that it was the Office of Malaria Control in War Areas, a subset of the DoD. We can thank the CEO of Coca-Cola for the CDC's current incarnation, as he donated the buildings and land to the burgeoning CDC to eradicate malaria. Here's hoping we can elimenate Malaria around the world in the future.
Kinda off topic but the other day I learned another interesting fact about a CEO of Coca-Cola. In 1964 there was to be a dinner in Atlanta to honor Martin Luther King Jr. for winning the Nobel Peace Prize. But there was a informal boycott of the event from the wealthy buisness owners who were mad at the civil rights movement for disrupting their operations with sit-ins and things. But CEO Robert W. Woodruff was having none of that and threw his status behind it to make it happen.
@Hernando Malinche Not the company - just their CEO, who had seen how prevalent malaria was in the southern US at the time and both wanted to and could change that.
I'm an American, I like to think I'm well informed on a lot of topics, and I'm always trying to learn more, but I had no idea that America had ever had a malaria problem. Thank you for making this video, and for teaching me more about the world we all live in.
Mono is the kissing disease, and you can get it by drinking a pop or drink after someone or taking a bite of food that someone licked or took a bite of. A lot of football players and cheerleaders in high school used to get it when taking someone's pop that was sitting there was normal. That was highly spread through schools. They don't even send kids home with head lice anymore, I can see that causing a big infestation epidemic. They call it "not productive" to send them home. It's definitely productive to end infestations. Lice can carry disease, and the dangerous kind can cause paralyzing in people. Bob Marley had many new kinds of lice in his hair they found in his dreads after he died. They like evolved in his hair, because he had them for so many years. I wonder if that's why they were or are having cases of kids being paralyzed with an unknown cause. Lice can hide and not be known until it populates and may die off before being found. Teachers may be combing them out of their hair. I don't see why they put education over child health. They're convinced they can't learn later. You don't use half the stuff you learn in school. You know how many times I had to use Spanish? Never. Not like I'm in little Mexico. Never had to use any other foreign language either. Do we really need them telling kids when people aren't normal? That's like them teaching a whole new discrimination. I'm sure people know how to use reasoning when someone acts off naturally. They teach that you can't use your own description of normal. Group homes have been doing human experiments anyways, they're just trying to round up more test subjects. One of every color, creed, gender, and disability. That's my thought that is obvious when what has been going on in Iowa, and if it's one State, it's all of them. Like the Nazi Warship up in this bitch. Sadly that it's the truth. Government has a high rate of alcoholism and mouthy. Maybe they should be thrown out. They lived through the influence and participated in same actions. Try saying they treated and treat Native Americans nicely. Sorry, just thought you might want to know more. My 7th Great Grandfather by marriage, step, is Chief Peter Cornstalk, married to Catherine Vanderpool, my biological 7th Great Grandmother, and my 7th Great Aunt, Elizabeth See, was married to his son, Young Peter Cornstalk, making him my 7th Great Uncle. I'm white, but I still got my middle name in his memory that has passed down a couple generations. Ray means leader, it is my dad's middle name, and my grandma's middle name was Rae, the female version of the name. Chief Cornstalk was the King of 20 Tribes called The Northern Confederacy Of Indian Tribes after being Chief of the Shawnee. The See name was Schwenckfeld before being changed to See in the 1740s after coming from Prussia in exile. Little facts they don't say. A train just derailed in West Virginia, probably The Curse Of Chief Cornstalk. A lot of strange things happen in that area. The treaty just said that they couldn't pull hostilities on His Majesty's Subjects, then the Revolution happened. So, that's a treaty the United States invalidated except that Peter Cornstalk was His Majesty in the same sense. Chiefs and Chieftesses have Princesses and Princes, so that's a Kingdom. We are not out of Kings and Queens as the myth goes. Ray loosely translates to King, and it has passed through three generations as far as it goes. My future child will also be named Ray or Rae if I ever have one if they really want to listen. Chief is King, and Ray has the same definition plus more. My DNA test says I'm about 1% Beringian, an extinctrace that Native Americans split from about 20,000 years ago. Beringians are the original Americans that crossed the Bering Strait and populated the New World. I've been really into my genealogy lately, but i don't think it is much possible to create a 20,000 year long family tree. I have over 500 people total so far that include other branches down. I got back to 500 AD on one direct line up through Charlemagne.
To say that Trump isn't King, you're forgetting part of his job description is Chief based of American Heritage, an elected King. Even Thanksgiving videos describe the Chief that visited the Mayflower Passengers as King. So, know you elected one. Congress is pretty much Parliament with some lower councils. No difference in Kingdoms with elected Monarchs and Parliament or Prince Electorals like The Electoral College. They based President as King and contradicted. One guy said The Cloud is saved in a Cloud, but The Cloud saves to servers as he said they didn't. You have to watch the tricks on tv. Clouds in the sky aren't storage places. Then he said they aren't owned by a Ukrainian in the same breath, one lie to support another. I would really hate to be their lawyer and have to try to argue a hundred times how the first words were a lie and the second ones weren't. Democrats deceive themselves on a hundred different levels with Republicans thinking the same. I'm glad I registered No Party. 🇺🇸
The whole impeachment process was foreigners supporting foreigners in open court. One guy wore his medals on the wrong side in a US Military uniform that was born in Ukraine. We fell with impeachment with foreign influence clearly stated on the Democrsts' side. The Navy is now challenging Russia while the United States supports a Diplomat's wife for causing the death of a British boy while she was driving on the wrong side of the road, and the UK plans to press charges against Diplomatic Immunity Laws. Countries aren't happy, and I don't know where this leads. Putin supports Trump and accuses Democrats of making up reasons to get rid of Trump while asserting his military is very strong. They did accuse Putin a lot, so I can't blame the man. We're all human, and I wouldn't want to be blamed for a fall. I even got an email from Trump's Team that says this impeachment is a war and asking for his fiercest supporters to defend him while trash talking Democrats, they're just notifications you can sign up for on his website that ask for donations and for surveys. Now Trump supports a Democrat pretending to be Republican, one sided Democrat race. It has become a backwards country, but I have faith it will work out for the best whether we need to end United States tyranny or continue with a next generation. God Bless, and I hope I filled you with insight of the way they twist real to be fake. Never trust apologists.
Not only malaria, but yellow fever was a constant threat in the southeastern parts of the US -- as far north as Philadelphia (or sometimes even farther north).

I've seen city work trucks spraying mosquito pesticide. In the air from large trucks in southern Florida right down the street in neighborhoods. I don't know the chemical but I would guess DDT
Malaria, like many treatable diseases no longer causes the danger it does in developed countries because of the availability of medicine, even with the continuous introduction of the disease into a country from international travel it does not become endemic. In my opinion more than anything stated in this video it is simply the ability for all the ill to be treated that is the main reason malaria is no longer endemic in the US, as well as Europe, even China has now managed to eliminate it.
Stephanie, I found your channel 2 days ago, and OMG, I am hooked. It is the Khan Academy of Nature and Science. I cannot get enough of it! I hope there are enough past episodes so that I don't run out of them too soon. By the way , your voice is beautiful, and you are beautiful.
G6pd a genetic deficiency predominant in African Americans, not necessarily Africans, prohibiting them from being susceptible to Malaria. One of the reasons for the draft to fight in Vietnam was because most African American men , were immune to Malaria. People who are G6pd(deficient) cannot take the drug quinine.
Wrong info. Get your history right. Malaria in the US did not just originate from Africa. Malaria existed in the US before the slave trade. Malaria existed in Europe (frankly all around the world) as well at that time and could have come from migrants from Europe as well. In fact, the name Malaria is Italian meaning "Bad air".
10:40 misinformation. DDT is relatively safe to humans and birds compared to other pesticides. It does harm fish. The problem is hysteria and misinformation spread like this.
It isn't extremely toxic to us, but definitely not harmless. It also kills pretty much every other insect, and they are crucial for sustaining healthy biospheres. Furthermore, it accumulates in soil, where it stays for decades, and it bioaccumulates in fatty tissue, meaning the higher up the food chain you go, the higher concentrations of DDT you find in animals. The statement in the video was a mostly correct simplification because otherwise they'd spend the rest of it talking about DDT.
@@hititwithit No, the statement is that DDT is great at killing everything else. This is absolutely not true and not the reason for banning it. The long half-life and accumulation in animals and the environment you mentioned are why it's banned. However, in places such as Africa where malaria runs rampant unchecked the relatively minor effects of DDT should be considered to losing thousands of lives.
@@JaySee5 If you look at DDT in the context of insecticides, then it's definitely great at killing everything else, because that's literally what it does: kill arthropods (which is more than just insects) and fish. That's probably more than 90% of all species in aquatic environments. Just arthropods make up about 80% of all animalia. So, no, it doesn't kill literally every single thing, but it does kill most animal species. You're really splitting hairs if "DDT doesn't kill 100%" is your main takeaway from this video.
@@hititwithit In the context of insecticides, it kills arthropods and fish, not everything else. You don't spray mass insecticides into oceans. You spray it over populated areas that have still water. It's not killing 80% of life as you try to frame it. It does not kill most animal species. Speak facts, not over exaggerations as in this video. Controlled sprays of needed amounts to safeguard humans will do relatively small environmental impact while saving thousands of lives.
real Science ,you 've forgotten about the southwest pacific islands during WWII... my ( along with ither Marines)fought around the Gilbert & Marianna Islands,.... He was bitten by a malaria infested Mosquito & caught Malaria... It was treated..But he still had the Parasite in his blood... Years later he passed it to me.... which makes me a carrier for Malaria.
Exterminating a mosquito is a terrible way to fight malaria. Mosquitoes have an important place in nature and no species should be exterminated just like that.
Actually its currently studied but mosquetos arent looking like important anywhere. They arent essential, and if we did eradicate them (please) it would improve the lives of many animal species
You misunderstand the intention. Scientists are well aware that musquitoes as a whole shouldn't be eradicated - rather, only certain especially problematic species should be targeted. That should not pose the same kind of problem for ecosystems.
You should talk about the research being done on CRISPR sterilization programs of anophales and Aedes species of mosquito (2 of these most problematic genus of mosquitoes) they plan on being able to completely wipe out any species within 8 to 15 generations by putting a recessive sterility gene in mosquitoes which would be benign until it reaches critical mass in the population, and makes all Male mosquitoes sterile. I believe there was a promising study done in the Florida keys about this very subject near me. I don't work directly for mosquito control so don't quote me on this but I've partnered with them several times and this seems like the most realistic way to eradicate malaria. And the ecological effect would be relatively minimal as virtually zero pesticides would be needed and in most places that I've seen Anopholes and Aedes occur they're non native as they seem to predominantly occur around human settlements and not in natural areas so the food chain would remain intact in the vast majority of cases.
Cameron Cole mosquito genocide is the one form of genocide I unequivocally support! A final solution to rid mankind of its greatest enemy who is responsible for more human death and suffering than anything else. Fucking kill them all!!!
I read about this technology in Genes, Third Edition, by Benjamin Lewin, 1987. If there is much hope for this method for eliminating malaria, there should have been significant results by now.
fun fact singapore has actually tried it all over its country and is in the process they have released the mosqutoes in the atmosphere and are harvesting more
@@fwcolb Yes, there *should* have been significant results by now, but some people are terrified of things they don't understand, and stand in the way of trials. So the world will have to continue to have malaria and all the other horrible diseases spread by mosquitoes.
I live in the southeast and my parents and grandparents always told me about when they dropped DDT in the area. I never knew that the reason they did it was because of Mosquitos and malaria. I know for a fact that DDT had a massive negative effect on wildlife especially fish. They had to launch several programs to restock the fish in my area and these stocking programs continue to this day since the population decrease after they dropped DDT.
One thing I found out while living in the tropics was how important graded roads and gutters are in controlling mosquitoes. They eliminate almost all puddles where the mosquitoes breed.
@Patrick led you cannot remove lead from boiling water, you're only evaporating the water, the boiling point of lead is 1,749°C, you try getting your temperature that hot with normal means, plus your water will all be evaporated at that point so you end up with nothing. carbon based filters and reverse osmosis are the best methods to remove lead from water
@Patrick led But that's literally ridiculous all water can be made clean from everything besides the most heinous of chemicals. It's as easy as making a tiny fire and having a pan of dirty water or even bottle, then boiling it and catching the steam with plastic or a piece of wood. your very own source explains why that isn't such a great idea, for one thing you're mixing heat with wood, not a great idea, secondly the material has an increased risk of decontamination, thirdly its not as easy as you're making it sound to make a distillery and fourth they are not very economical nor practical in your Africa example, private distillaries only produce 3-10 gallons a day and require energy about 1100 watts unit takes 3 hours to produce a single gallon. If you're going to use fire and wood you're gonna need a lot of wood and you're gonna produce a lot of pollution "Operation costs for distillation can be among the highest for home drinking water treatment systems." and you think people in Africa should go this route when most don't even have running water?
well, I love the channel. As I do a engineering bachelor at university, I started with real engineering. I did complete biology in my high school, and I love learning more about it outside of my engineering degree. And your channel is just great to do that, simple explanation, with some good details and great graphics. Can't wait on the genome editted trial video. Keep up the great work
@@nickinurse6433 That fake science from Rachel "never met a chemical I didn't hate" Carson made DDT into a scapegoat for something it never got a fair trial for. Bring back DDT, the safest insecticide ever!
don't think it had anything to do with mosquito eradication... there are still puddles in america. besides, there are like a bazillion more mosquitos up here in canada and not much malaria.
5678sothourn - I grow up in reading not n watching culture ;-))And that is some riding: "The drainage, reclamation of swampland and improvements in water management in the fields drastically reduced the availability of mosquito breeding sites resulting in reduced mosquito populations in many areas. Agricultural innovations led to better human overall health and an increase in animal populations. Animals were fed during the winter and kept in stables, byres and pigsties. These animal shelters and their occupants proved much more attractive for the main vector of malaria in most of Europe, the zoophilic An. atroparvus, diverting mosquitoes from the nearby human dwellings. Improvements in house construction and living standards played a significant role as well. Buildings where human living quarters and animal shelters were found together progressively disappeared. This human-domestic animal habitat separation played a major role in the decrease of malaria transmission. Finally, the extensive use of cinchona bark brought to Europe in the 1600s and the introduction of quinine in the 1820s further moderated disease transmission."www.intechopen.com/books/towards-malaria-elimination-a-leap-forward/malaria-eradication-in-the-european-world-historical-perspective-and-imminent-threats
"Although malaria is no longer endemic in Australia, approx. 700-800 cases occur here each year in travellers infected elsewhere, and the region of northern Australia above 19oS latitude is the receptive zone for malaria transmission. Occasional cases of local transmission occur in the Torres Strait islands and rarely in northern Queensland, and vigilance is required to prevent reestablishment of the infection in some northern localities."
The world has benefited soooo much from corn. Also many dont realize that it is a gmo plant. A lot of our mass produced plants are. We wouldnt be able to have our population or societies without any gmo! I ❤ GMO!
the Gate’s foundation is unfortunately not trying to just end malaria, they’re primarily helping with the incentive to set up for-profit healthcare in countries that are developing still
I hope all you people realize we live the fantastic life we live because of the blood sweat and tears of thousands of very smart people who came before us and figured everything out and the hard work of all the people who made it happen. So before you start thanking and praising whatever god or government you worship give a thank to all the people you’ll never know about that created every single thing you use every day of your life from cradle to grave.
I think that the efforts of WHO and IAEA to grow and release radiation-sterilized male mosquitoes as a way to decrease the vector population merit a mention.
@Nogs Galogs I was just stating facts. The things that are scientifically proven. All situations will have different variables. Based on the tone of your post you must be a trump supporter.
@Nogs Galogs Sir your ignorance is beyond me. For you not to seem as a total dunce, read the history of Jamaica at least. For the fact that you know of an island that is 144 square miles with less than 3 million people is something to be commended. I will ignore your racist statements. I will get no where with you.
@Nogs Galogs Well is great to know that you have a a "Great" education. But education should have opened your mind to logic. All that you have said is bullshit and racist. Have a great day. I have got some world famous weed to smoke. Bye!
Can you explain how it hasn't come back to America in bulk yet? Shouldn't it only take 1 mf with malaria to come over to the us and get bit by a mosquito to restart malaria here?
Malaria, like many treatable diseases no longer causes the danger it does in developed countries because of the availability of medicine, so despite the continuous introduction of the disease into the country(thousands of cases a year) from international travel it does not become endemic. IMO more than anything stated in this video it is simply the ability for all the ill to be treated that is the main reason malaria is no longer present in the US, as well as Europe, which had it in the past, even China has managed to eliminate it.
It doesn't have malaria, none of the countries bordering the mediterranean have it. I think they say that because Sudan is sometimes considered part of eastern mediterranean region and has malaria.
Eradicated? We still have numerous cases every year. Infected people from central and South America bring a continuous supply of the disease. Toddlers and the elderly are especially susceptible.
Thats because of the freedom of vaccination. Vaccination shouldnt be a choice, if someone can, they should be forces to take the vaccine -except the ones which arent essential like the flu vax etc-. Only exception is a complication. This also makes the govn. responsible and thus makes it free for everyone.
Malaria, like many treatable diseases no longer causes the danger it does in developed countries because of the availability of medicine, so despite the continuous introduction of the disease into the country it does not become endemic.
At the age of 6, my would be uncle died of malaria in the NE quadrant of Arkansas, this happened in December, 1930. This is stated on his death certificate. There was a presence of the disease at that time. Shirty mosquitoes !
The United States is a very few First World countries whose public distrusted and dislike public health (and treat biology like theology or poor excuse) despite being the biggest publisher of biomedical research papers and training the best fo the world.
Yea definitely some holes in that story .. im guessing hygiene plays a major role along wth industrialization and people generally being better educated on ways to protect them selves .. why isn't south America and mexico infested with malaria ..if it was in Europe what happened in the rest of asia surely it was there too .. how did they get rid of it everywhere but Africa.. fascinating though.. 🤷♂️ cant wait to see the documentary on how covid was eradicated by forced vaccines

So far the videos have been focused on biology type stuff, which I have enjoyed. But will there be any videos on astronomy or astrophysics?
Real Engineering is for that kind of stuff.
Turpenine
Artemisia annua
I take an anti-malarial for Lupus.
Hydroxychloroquine!
G6pd a genetic deficiency predominant in African Americans, not necessarily Africans, prohibiting them from being susceptible to Malaria. One of the reasons for the draft to fight in Vietnam was because most African American men , were immune to Malaria. People who are G6pd(deficient) cannot take the drug quinine.
3:37 +1 living in the north the disease wasn't really spotted up north.
And how it came back
Please don't spread misinformation, 0:20 Malaria doesn't thrive in the eastern Mediterranian.
There were one million cases there.
"gu-uh" - gut
"bi-en" - bitten
Mosquito eradication would be even better.
We need mosquitos in the planet
hello stephanie 👋
the enginerring channel brought me here
DM to know more if you care
Am Dr Michael from UK London
An international doctor Text me me if you have any problem or questions on your health🇱🇷🇱🇷
Once I heard Bill & Melinda Gates and military I rolled my eyes 🙄
Welp, spoken a bit soon
The ending monologue was stupid lol “crazy things can happen when pooeople believe 🤍🤍”
Wrong info. Get your history right. Malaria in the US did not just originate from Africa. Malaria existed in the US before the slave trade. Malaria existed in Europe (frankly all around the world) as well at that time and could have come from migrants from Europe as well. In fact, the name Malaria is Italian meaning "Bad air".
10:40 misinformation. DDT is relatively safe to humans and birds compared to other pesticides. It does harm fish. The problem is hysteria and misinformation spread like this.
It isn't extremely toxic to us, but definitely not harmless. It also kills pretty much every other insect, and they are crucial for sustaining healthy biospheres. Furthermore, it accumulates in soil, where it stays for decades, and it bioaccumulates in fatty tissue, meaning the higher up the food chain you go, the higher concentrations of DDT you find in animals.
The statement in the video was a mostly correct simplification because otherwise they'd spend the rest of it talking about DDT.
@@hititwithit No, the statement is that DDT is great at killing everything else. This is absolutely not true and not the reason for banning it. The long half-life and accumulation in animals and the environment you mentioned are why it's banned. However, in places such as Africa where malaria runs rampant unchecked the relatively minor effects of DDT should be considered to losing thousands of lives.
@@JaySee5 If you look at DDT in the context of insecticides, then it's definitely great at killing everything else, because that's literally what it does: kill arthropods (which is more than just insects) and fish. That's probably more than 90% of all species in aquatic environments. Just arthropods make up about 80% of all animalia.
So, no, it doesn't kill literally every single thing, but it does kill most animal species.
You're really splitting hairs if "DDT doesn't kill 100%" is your main takeaway from this video.
@@hititwithit In the context of insecticides, it kills arthropods and fish, not everything else. You don't spray mass insecticides into oceans. You spray it over populated areas that have still water. It's not killing 80% of life as you try to frame it. It does not kill most animal species. Speak facts, not over exaggerations as in this video. Controlled sprays of needed amounts to safeguard humans will do relatively small environmental impact while saving thousands of lives.
@@JaySee5 How is killing >80% not "most"?
I've had malaria twice, fuck it was god-awful
Really malaria twice,are u living in Asia?
real Science ,you 've forgotten about the southwest pacific islands during WWII...
my ( along with ither Marines)fought around the Gilbert & Marianna Islands,.... He was bitten by a malaria infested Mosquito & caught Malaria... It was treated..But he still had the Parasite in his blood... Years later he passed it to me.... which makes me a carrier for Malaria.
Israel had malaria and we defeated it even before the state was established.
It sounds like to eradicate malaria, we ended up destroying and ireporably damigung the enviorment.
Let me save you 15 minutes. We don't know what the heck happened to rid ourselves of malaria.
Exterminating a mosquito is a terrible way to fight malaria. Mosquitoes have an important place in nature and no species should be exterminated just like that.
Actually its currently studied but mosquetos arent looking like important anywhere. They arent essential, and if we did eradicate them (please) it would improve the lives of many animal species
You misunderstand the intention. Scientists are well aware that musquitoes as a whole shouldn't be eradicated - rather, only certain especially problematic species should be targeted. That should not pose the same kind of problem for ecosystems.
@@mnxs Its still horrible thing to do.
Thanos is right

Malaria is Donald Trump's wife! Malaria Trump.
Great video until it turns into a fluff piece for Bill Gates
How sad bill and melinda gates were mentioned in this, credibility was loss to me!!!

When Malaria guides more history than you ever will
When malaria gets more girls than you
Malaria still guides history throughout most of the world.
You should talk about the research being done on CRISPR sterilization programs of anophales and Aedes species of mosquito (2 of these most problematic genus of mosquitoes) they plan on being able to completely wipe out any species within 8 to 15 generations by putting a recessive sterility gene in mosquitoes which would be benign until it reaches critical mass in the population, and makes all Male mosquitoes sterile. I believe there was a promising study done in the Florida keys about this very subject near me. I don't work directly for mosquito control so don't quote me on this but I've partnered with them several times and this seems like the most realistic way to eradicate malaria. And the ecological effect would be relatively minimal as virtually zero pesticides would be needed and in most places that I've seen Anopholes and Aedes occur they're non native as they seem to predominantly occur around human settlements and not in natural areas so the food chain would remain intact in the vast majority of cases.
Cameron Cole mosquito genocide is the one form of genocide I unequivocally support! A final solution to rid mankind of its greatest enemy who is responsible for more human death and suffering than anything else. Fucking kill them all!!!
i love animals and I'm fascinated with insects, but I agree with Mrmattumbo, mosquitos should be eradicated
I read about this technology in Genes, Third Edition, by Benjamin Lewin, 1987. If there is much hope for this method for eliminating malaria, there should have been significant results by now.
fun fact singapore has actually tried it all over its country and is in the process they have released the mosqutoes in the atmosphere and are harvesting more
@@fwcolb Yes, there *should* have been significant results by now, but some people are terrified of things they don't understand, and stand in the way of trials. So the world will have to continue to have malaria and all the other horrible diseases spread by mosquitoes.
This channel definitely deserves more exposure. Great video.
I live in the southeast and my parents and grandparents always told me about when they dropped DDT in the area. I never knew that the reason they did it was because of Mosquitos and malaria. I know for a fact that DDT had a massive negative effect on wildlife especially fish. They had to launch several programs to restock the fish in my area and these stocking programs continue to this day since the population decrease after they dropped DDT.
One thing I found out while living in the tropics was how important graded roads and gutters are in controlling mosquitoes. They eliminate almost all puddles where the mosquitoes breed.
It was DDT and no people would get mad if you used it Africa
Hear Hear Now the environmentalists want to bring back "wetlands"
@Patrick led you cannot remove lead from boiling water, you're only evaporating the water, the boiling point of lead is 1,749°C, you try getting your temperature that hot with normal means, plus your water will all be evaporated at that point so you end up with nothing. carbon based filters and reverse osmosis are the best methods to remove lead from water
@Patrick led But that's literally ridiculous all water can be made clean from everything besides the most heinous of chemicals. It's as easy as making a tiny fire and having a pan of dirty water or even bottle, then boiling it and catching the steam with plastic or a piece of wood.
your very own source explains why that isn't such a great idea, for one thing you're mixing heat with wood, not a great idea, secondly the material has an increased risk of decontamination, thirdly its not as easy as you're making it sound to make a distillery and fourth they are not very economical nor practical in your Africa example, private distillaries only produce 3-10 gallons a day and require energy about 1100 watts unit takes 3 hours to produce a single gallon. If you're going to use fire and wood you're gonna need a lot of wood and you're gonna produce a lot of pollution
"Operation costs for distillation can be among the highest for home drinking water treatment systems."
and you think people in Africa should go this route when most don't even have running water?
Read "Silent Spring". by Rachel Carson. DDT kills all other insects as well as affecting bird populations.
we have gene drives now, we can power mass extinctions through gene editing.
Thanks for the informative video. Love your channel👍
well, I love the channel. As I do a engineering bachelor at university, I started with real engineering. I did complete biology in my high school, and I love learning more about it outside of my engineering degree. And your channel is just great to do that, simple explanation, with some good details and great graphics. Can't wait on the genome editted trial video. Keep up the great work
Love it, you guys are great!
Happy new year real science...
Keep helping us with your amazingly informative videos
Good vid. However there were not then, nor have ever been, 500,000 people in Bolivar County. See 6:05 in vid.
I 💘 DDT!! Thank you science!!
the birds didn't.....many species have still not recovered & many went extinct from it
@@nickinurse6433 That fake science from Rachel "never met a chemical I didn't hate" Carson made DDT into a scapegoat for something it never got a fair trial for. Bring back DDT, the safest insecticide ever!
I am Mexican, but I live in the US now I know why I don't get sick if a mosquito bites me.
don't think it had anything to do with mosquito eradication... there are still puddles in america.
besides, there are like a bazillion more mosquitos up here in canada and not much malaria.
what about malaria in Europe? apparently it was eradicated when people improved standards of living and stop living with livestock under one roof.
Matt J. Make a video on it
5678sothourn - I grow up in reading not n watching culture ;-))And that is some riding: "The drainage, reclamation of swampland and improvements in water
management in the fields drastically reduced the availability of
mosquito breeding sites resulting in reduced mosquito populations in
many areas. Agricultural innovations led to better human overall health
and an increase in animal populations. Animals were fed during the
winter and kept in stables, byres and pigsties. These animal shelters
and their occupants proved much more attractive for the main vector of
malaria in most of Europe, the zoophilic An. atroparvus,
diverting mosquitoes from the nearby human dwellings. Improvements in
house construction and living standards played a significant role as
well. Buildings where human living quarters and animal shelters were
found together progressively disappeared. This human-domestic animal
habitat separation played a major role in the decrease of malaria
transmission. Finally, the extensive use of cinchona bark brought to
Europe in the 1600s and the introduction of quinine in the 1820s further
moderated disease transmission."www.intechopen.com/books/towards-malaria-elimination-a-leap-forward/malaria-eradication-in-the-european-world-historical-perspective-and-imminent-threats
Im amazes north east straya isnt festering with malaria. . .
"Although malaria is no longer endemic in Australia, approx. 700-800 cases occur here each year in travellers infected elsewhere, and the region of northern Australia above 19oS latitude is the receptive zone for malaria transmission. Occasional cases of local transmission occur in the Torres Strait islands and rarely in northern Queensland, and vigilance is required to prevent reestablishment of the infection in some northern localities."
The world has benefited soooo much from corn. Also many dont realize that it is a gmo plant. A lot of our mass produced plants are. We wouldnt be able to have our population or societies without any gmo!
I ❤ GMO!
the Gate’s foundation is unfortunately not trying to just end malaria, they’re primarily helping with the incentive to set up for-profit healthcare in countries that are developing still
I hope all you people realize we live the fantastic life we live because of the blood sweat and tears of thousands of very smart people who came before us and figured everything out and the hard work of all the people who made it happen. So before you start thanking and praising whatever god or government you worship give a thank to all the people you’ll never know about that created every single thing you use every day of your life from cradle to grave.
At around 8:27 you can notice a barrel of malariol from The Company of Ceylon Limited. Where Ceylon is the older name of the country Sri Lanka.
Merry Christmas, Real Science ppl! :)
It’s back in America.
Why kind of effects did drastically reducing the mosquito population have on the environment?
Tree huggers bitch and whine about DDT but it worked.
@@genericyoutubeaccount579 Lol,are you really mocking people for being aware of the extreme damage caused by DDT? Weirdo, enjoy your cancer lmao
Damn, we went to war against a disease and won
I think that the efforts of WHO and IAEA to grow and release radiation-sterilized male mosquitoes as a way to decrease the vector population merit a mention.
Breed. More. Bats.
Jamaica also eradicated malaria before the US. Create a video on that
@Nogs Galogs I was just stating facts. The things that are scientifically proven. All situations will have different variables. Based on the tone of your post you must be a trump supporter.
@Nogs Galogs Sir your ignorance is beyond me. For you not to seem as a total dunce, read the history of Jamaica at least. For the fact that you know of an island that is 144 square miles with less than 3 million people is something to be commended. I will ignore your racist statements. I will get no where with you.
@Nogs Galogs Well is great to know that you have a a "Great" education. But education should have opened your mind to logic. All that you have said is bullshit and racist. Have a great day. I have got some world famous weed to smoke. Bye!
Stephanie, your voice is beautiful
No citation for the claim of how DDT kills everything? Methinks it was scaremongering that killed ddt.
Thomas Middlebrooke
Can I see some of your sources?
Can you explain how it hasn't come back to America in bulk yet? Shouldn't it only take 1 mf with malaria to come over to the us and get bit by a mosquito to restart malaria here?
Malaria, like many treatable diseases no longer causes the danger it does in developed countries because of the availability of medicine, so despite the continuous introduction of the disease into the country(thousands of cases a year) from international travel it does not become endemic.
IMO more than anything stated in this video it is simply the ability for all the ill to be treated that is the main reason malaria is no longer present in the US, as well as Europe, which had it in the past, even China has managed to eliminate it.
Make video about the volcano in Philippines especially about the lightings
Time to kneel to ghidorah
If Americans could eliminate Mosquitoes why can't Africans use the same method 😠😠😠
Did you skip the last part of the video.....
We released modified mosquitoes and malaria is back.
Are you saying that turkey has malaria, because at 00:24, you showed us a clip of Alanya
It doesn't have malaria, none of the countries bordering the mediterranean have it. I think they say that because Sudan is sometimes considered part of eastern mediterranean region and has malaria.
BouncingCookie I know they don’t, we have a house down there, i just thought it was weird
4:08 - "white indentured laborers from Europe"???
Where do people think the word "slave" is derived from??
hint - Slavic people.
Eradicated?
We still have numerous cases every year.
Infected people from central and South America bring a continuous supply of the disease.
Toddlers and the elderly are especially susceptible.
Thats because of the freedom of vaccination. Vaccination shouldnt be a choice, if someone can, they should be forces to take the vaccine -except the ones which arent essential like the flu vax etc-. Only exception is a complication. This also makes the govn. responsible and thus makes it free for everyone.

@@chickensoldier9790 Fuck you,fascist
Wait, it's not like we killed all the mosquitos in the US, so why isn't malaria still here with the mosquitos we have now?
Because the mosquitos pick up malaria from humans, who no longer have it
Quin-ine is the right pronoucation I believe.
Watching this video with mosquitoes around me, oouch.
At the age of 6, my would be uncle died of malaria in the NE quadrant of Arkansas, this happened in December, 1930. This is stated on his death certificate. There was a presence of the disease at that time. Shirty mosquitoes !
Paris green?! 😱 isn’t that the paint that has arsenic in it

Besides sickle cell anemia and thalassemia anemia traits what other immunities do people of African (and Mediterranean and Asian Pacific) decent have?
DDT eradicated malaria in developed nations.
I think of far cry when I think of malaria
Yea definitely some holes in that story .. im guessing hygiene plays a major role along wth industrialization and people generally being better educated on ways to protect them selves .. why isn't south America and mexico infested with malaria ..if it was in Europe what happened in the rest of asia surely it was there too .. how did they get rid of it everywhere but Africa.. fascinating though.. 🤷♂️ cant wait to see the documentary on how covid was eradicated by forced vaccines
