Vaongorori vepaYunivhesiti yeSouth Florida vakashandisa hungwaru hwekugadzira kuti vagadziremisungo yeumhutunetariro yekuashandisa kunze kwenyika kudzivirira kupararira kwemalaria.
TAMPA — Musungo mutsva wakangwara unoshandisa njere dzekugadzira uchashandiswa kutevera umhutu huri kupararira malaria muAfrica. Ndiwo pfungwa dzevaongorori vaviri vanobva kuYunivhesiti yeSouth Florida.
"Ndiri kureva kuti, umhutu ndihwo mhuka dzinouraya zvakanyanya pasi rose. Idzi itsono dzinoparadzira zvirwere neganda," akadaro Ryan Carney, mubatsiri wepurofesa wesainzi yedhijitari muDhipatimendi reIntegrative Biology paYunivhesiti yeSouth Florida.
Utunga hunotakura malaria, Anopheles Stephensi, ndihwo hwakakosha kuna Carney naSriram Chellappan, mapurofesa esainzi yemakombiyuta neinjiniya paYunivhesiti yeSouth Florida. Vanotarisira kurwisa malaria kunze kwenyika uye kushanda pamwe chete kugadzira misungo yehungwaru, yekunyora, yekutevera umhutu. Misungo iyi yakarongerwa kushandiswa muAfrica.
Mashandiro anoita musungo uyu: Kutanga, umhutu hunobhururuka nepaburi robva rawira padanda rinonamira rinohukwezva. Kamera iri mukati inobva yatora mufananidzo weumhutu uye yoisa mufananidzo wacho mugore. Vaongorori vachabva vamhanyisa maalgorithms akati wandei ekudzidza pairi kuti vanzwisise kuti umhutu hwerudzii kana kuti rudzi rwahwo chairwo. Nenzira iyi, masayendisiti achakwanisa kuziva kuti umhutu hune malaria hunoenda kupi.
"Izvi zvinoitika ipapo ipapo, uye kana mosquito ine malaria ikaonekwa, ruzivo irworwo runogona kutumirwa kuvakuru vehutano munguva pfupi iri kutevera," akadaro Chelapan. "Umhutu uhwu hune dzimwe nzvimbo dzavanoda kubereka. Kana dzikakwanisa kuparadza nzvimbo idzi dzekuberekera, nyika. , huwandu hwadzo hunogona kuganhurirwa padanho remunharaunda."
"Inogona kudzora kupararira kwezvirwere. Inogona kuderedza kupararira kwezvirwere zvinotapukira uye pakupedzisira kuponesa hupenyu," akadaro Chelapan.
Marariya inotapurira mamiriyoni evanhu gore rega rega, uye Yunivhesiti yeSouth Florida iri kushanda nerabhoritari muMadagascar kuti iteme misungo.
"Vanhu vanodarika 600,000 vanofa gore rega rega. Vazhinji vavo vana vari pasi pemakore mashanu," akadaro Carney. "Saka marariya idambudziko guru rehutano pasi rose uye riri kuramba richiripo."
Chirongwa ichi chinotsigirwa nemari inosvika mamiriyoni matatu nemazana matanhatu emadhora kubva kuNational Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health. Kuitwa kwechirongwa ichi muAfrica kuchabatsirawo kuona umhutu hune malaria mune chero imwe nzvimbo.
"Ini ndinofunga kuti nyaya nomwe dziri muSarasota (County) dzinoratidza njodzi yemarariya. Hakuna kumbobvira kwava nekutapurirana kwemarariya muUnited States mumakore makumi maviri apfuura," akadaro Carney. "Hatina Anopheles Stephensi pano parizvino. .Kana izvi zvikaitika, zvichaonekwa pamhenderekedzo dzedu, uye tichave takagadzirira kushandisa tekinoroji yedu kuitsvaga nekuiparadza."
Smart Trap ichashanda pamwe chete newebhusaiti yekutevera yakatotangwa pasi rose. Izvi zvinobvumira vagari kutora mifananidzo yeumhutu uye kuaisa seimwe nzira yekuvatevera. Carney akati anoronga kutumira misungo iyi kuAfrica gare gare gore rino.
"Hurongwa hwangu ndehwekuenda kuMadagascar pamwe neMauritius mwaka wemvura usati wasvika pakupera kwegore, uye nekufamba kwenguva tichazotumira nekudzoka nezvimwe zvezvishandiso izvi kuitira kuti tigone kutarisa nzvimbo idzodzo," akadaro Carney.
