Malaria Prevention
Killing of mosquitoes is not a real solution to eradication of Mosquitoes. They also have an important role in the ecosystem. They help pollinate some flowers, when they consume nectar. Mosquitoes can have a damaging role, harming other animals by being a vector for diseases like malaria, yellow fever, encephalitis and dengue.
Vector control is the best way to prevent and reduce malaria transmission. According to NCBI, Vector control refers to measures of any kind against malaria transmitting mosquitoes, intended to limit the ability or vectorial capacity to transmit the disease. WHO currently recommends deployment of either insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) or indoor residual spraying (IRS) for malaria vector control in most areas at risk of malaria.
Factually, if you don’t kill mosquitoes they don’t mutate and so, a safe repellant is effective in fighting mosquitoes. When you understand where mosquitoes hide, it becomes easier to fight them. To reduce malaria infections, world health programs distribute preventive drugs and insecticide-treated bed nets to protect people from mosquito bites. Prevention remains to be the best way to fight Malaria. Different methods have been tried over the years. The Malaria Vaccine is one of the ways expected to reduce the spread of Malaria.
After 30 years’ search, there has been a Malaria vaccine development where World Health Organization (WHO) officially announced that the jab, known as RTS, S (Mosquirix), after a decision by the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts in Immunisation (SAGE) and the Malaria Policy Advisory Group (MPAG) resolved to back the widespread deployment of the jab following trials in Kenya, Ghana and Malawi (The East African, 2021). WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that though this is a long stride down the road, we still have a long road to travel. The fight against Malaria continues.
When it comes to Malaria prevention, the high risk areas should be prioritized. According to WHO, in 2017, five countries accounted for nearly half of all malaria cases worldwide. Four of these were in Africa: Nigeria (25%), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (11%), Mozambique (5%), and Uganda (4%). NOMAK is already in the continent, ready to fight this killer disease.
NOMAK introduces MOZZI, an effective product whose benefits will reduce Malaria infections in Africa thus saving the world. The product is made to provide vector control solutions against mosquitoes. NOMAK’s insect repellant keeps disease carrying insects at bay. By repelling mosquitoes and not killing them eradicates any risk towards malaria spread.
By concentrating on the high risk areas, we will be saving the rest of the world. Travelers are at a great risk of acquiring the disease. National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) reports that imported malaria has been an increasing problem in Sweden and other Western countries in the last 2 decades. Two possible reasons for this increase are the increase in the number of travelers to tropical countries, as well as a growing number of immigrants from malaria-endemic countries. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention writes that about 2,000 cases of malaria are diagnosed in the United States each year. The vast majority of cases in the United States are in travelers and immigrants returning from parts of the world where malaria transmission occurs, including sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
The fact that NOMAK is working with manufacturing sectors that are crucial when it comes to where mosquitoes hide, only means that Malaria has no chance in our lives. For instance, mosquitoes like walls, and so Painting a house using paint that contains MOZZI is a step towards protecting the family living there against Malaria. Prevention is indeed the best option when it comes to fighting against Malaria, and MOZZI products will naturally do that.
