Hey guys, love your show. Manu Prakash invented a disposable microscope. I'm giving you the link to the Ted talk where he explains it. They got the cost per microscope down to around less than a dollar. Maybe you could take them with you to give to the healthcare workers you meet. It detects Malaria

@MicroBlogganism 7 лет назад

Random malaria fact: You can cure late-stage syphilis by infecting people with malaria, since the syphilis bacteria can't handle the high fevers. This was actually used a treatment before the discovery of antibiotics. So as weird as it sounds, malaria, one of the deadliest human diseases, has saved lives.

@jameswoll 7 лет назад

I can't think of the name of the treatment, but there was a doctor a long time ago who administered diseases/bacteria to induce a fever and immune response to fight cancer, with much success, but of course he is completely unheard of. Cruxley's Cocktail or something... it had a catchy name. Sorry I can't remember or find the post. Maybe someone else will know.

@StuartRedman 7 лет назад

jameswoll Was it William Coley? He created something called "Coley's toxins", which was a combination of Streptococcus pyogenes and Serratia marcescens that he used to provoke an immune response in people with cancer. That sounds like what you were talking about.

@jameswoll 7 лет назад

Stuart Redman That was it! Thanks! Gotta love the internet! Yeah, I think that's some really important work that we never hear about. Coley's toxins. Fascinating stuff. I would encourage people to look into it and hear about the vast amount of people he worked with.

@naomi-g 7 лет назад

Destin, how about a video focusing on "the world getting better"? Crime rates over decades, disease, infant mortality, world poverty, polio eradication, smallpox eradication, etc? I think it would be a popular video, and even more importantly help people feel a little more hopeful. It's been a rough couple years for the first world, but if you look at humanity in aggregate you get a clear picture of an improving world. You could also do a video on things that need more focus like climate change, but that's "been done". The positive side hasn't really been looked at in popular media!

@Cythil 7 лет назад

@FilipRavn 7 лет назад

Spike Kastleman so your point is to get malaria yourselves so you can die and then you help os all avoiding that problem of overpopulation - or alternatively you want others to die of malaria instead of you? seriously - where is the logic in that? No we should do more to avoid corruption so we could all contribute to a sustainable life for all who share the same oxygen on our planet.

@wb6wsn 7 лет назад

Shouldn't you fully disclose the risks you are adding to your fellow travelers and the carrier? If I were told that another passenger had compressed gas cylinders or chemical rocket motors in his pocket, I might want to reduce my risk of explosion or fire hazard by not sharing that car ride. At minimum, I should be allowed to know of any unusual risks. We have all seen videos of lithium battery fires by now, and the hazard of several rocket motors, in an unshielded, flammable box (probably tucked into flammable packing in an inaccessible luggage bay) is similar to a battery fire. A good question for Destin might be what would you do if something went wrong with your special cargo at 35,000 feet?

@ivanstroganov5458 7 лет назад

Ed Price you must be fun at parties. btw. black powder rocket motors are perfectly save. you would somehow have to get sparks or fire into the nozzle hole. other than that there is no chance of self ignition.

@ericwong5207 7 лет назад

Casey is a film maker, meaning his mentality is to make things look slick, pretty and exciting, with the goal to entertain. Destin on the other hand aims to educate, so you shouldn't compare the two channels. Anyway, i'm pretty sure Destin and Casey are friends in real life.

But did you know that in those countries with high chances to get malaria, there are also a lot of people who have a disease called sickle-cell anaemia. That is a blood disease which leads to an abnormality in hemoglobin, but those people are also imune to malaria.

Eugena Cooney Yeah the diseased blood cells can't transport enough oxigen, but as soon as you aren't too phisically active and always get enough oxigen from your enviroment the healthy cells keep you alive. Still the life expectancy is only about 40 - 60 years.

@nunyabuisness21mill 5 лет назад

As a mosquito control technician I can tell you mosquitoes are by far the greatest killer of mankind. Slight correction to your video destin. Males and female mosquitoes both seek flowers for their primary food source, however females only find a blood meal after having mates with a male. They need the protein to lay the eggs. Not whenever they can. Most people don’t know control districts even exist here in California. We know we are doing a good job when we don’t make the news. Love you videos keep up the great work

@RICDirector 2 года назад

I know this is old and you may not see tjis, but...whats the current spray used, and how do you avoid affecting pollinators?

@nunyabuisness21mill 2 года назад

@@RICDirector when we treat adult mosquitoes we call it fogging. What it is actually is a very fine mist most droplet sizes between 5-30 microns we use a product called mgk or evergreen. You’ll find it under different names same stuff. And since this is a pesticide that is indiscriminate on what it kills we are very careful not to use it when pollinators are active. Basically there are a number of things that have to go right for us to use it. 1 an inversion layer, this helps the chemical stay suspended in the air an float right about knee high. 2 a very slight wind 2-3 mph is best. Nothing over 10 ever. And last but not least we do this very early in the morning around 4-5 am. When mosquitoes are active but bees are not. We also look around for bee hives and if there are bee hives nearby we don’t fog. We try and get them when they are in a larvae stage in the water much more targeted and better control all around.

@tgocheco 7 лет назад

Ware Florida didn't he say a person can get infected if that person got bitten by a female mosquito? 3:20 mark. Well that's what I learned from him, maybe he didn't get bit by a female mosquito so that's why he didn't get malaria

@illemonate 7 лет назад

Your "grand vision" of reducing the death toll of malaria to 0 could be a possibility in the next couple years due to CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, which has been used to genetically modify mosquitoes in a way that renders them incapable of carrying the active parasite. A modification in just 1% of the world's mosquito population could result in ALL mosquitoes being malaria-repellent in just 1 year. Of course there are a lot of ethical concerns when it comes to editing an entire species, but food for thought.

@serksta1 7 лет назад

Natesticle has this not been done already to make mosquitoes only breed male mosquitoes with the intention that they die out over a few generations and then BOOM the zirka virus was created I mean introduced I mean patented by some Rothschild bank many years ago and now blaming mosquitoes for something disgustingly man made. you think the prats dealing with the money really think about people lives?

I did that exact lab work for 7 years but in UK, it's nostalgia for me :) 2:28 thick film showing plasmodium falciparum and plenty of it, mostly trophozoites, 1 gametocyte. The staining technique is better than most of my colleagues would normally have done in UK. It was perfectly made, but then we only do a couple a day, they probably do dozens over there. As a matter of fact, I had colleagues who'd come from Africa and they said generally people don't bother doing lab tests to check a diagnosis of malaria. If you have a fever, you take antimalarials in the first instance. I don't see any malarial parasites in your thin film at 3:00, but its a small section of the slide and its out of focus. Different species of malaria look different under microscope and part of my job was to identify the species. Not all species enlarge the red cells, not all make the red cells look spotty. The main thing on both of these slides is ignoring the white cells which might be freaking out your viewers. Oh and your sister probably wouldn't have died 15 years ago. Treatment hasn't really come on much since then, it's more a matter of access to treatment, and being white and able to fly home if things got really bad, she would have been fine. It's the people who can't afford to bring themselves to a clinic or buy antimalarials who are at most risk.

Agreed. Lots of rings at 2:28 No parasites at 3:21 that object is a WBC. Great video, just a few details to sort out.
