如何根除我們最致命的敵人之一——基因驅動與瘧疾！ (How To Eradicate One Of Our Deadliest Enemies – Gene Drive & Malaria)
- Using genetic engineering, scientists successfully created a strain of mosquitoes that are immune to the malaria parasite by adding a new antibody gene that specifically targets plasmodium.
迅速蔓延到全球各地的新區域。
- As the new gene becomes a permanent feature of the mosquito population, plasmodium would lose its home base.
為什麼不改變傳播疾病的媒介？

- Malaria is caused by this little guy, a protozoan called Plasmodium vivax, while African sleeping sickness is caused by Trypanosoma bruciae, this guy here.
隨著族群數量的增加創造出更多獨特的基因組合
- a protozoan called Plasmodium vivax.
一種稱為瘧原蟲的生物 (Plasmodium vivax 間日瘧原蟲，四種瘧原蟲中的一種)
為什麼血型這麼多？原來每一種都有「隱藏超能力」！ (Every Hidden Advantage of Your Blood Type Explained)
- The absence of A and B antigens reduces the ability of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for the deadliest form of malaria, to cause red blood cells to clump together, lowering the risk of severe malaria in O carriers.
缺乏A抗原和B抗原，降低了惡性瘧原蟲（導致最致命瘧疾的寄生蟲）讓紅血球聚集的能力，降低了O型帶原者罹患嚴重瘧疾的風險。

你知道地球上最危險的地方在哪裡嗎？ What's The Most Dangerous Place on Earth?
- In terms of total fatalities, however, the plague and influenza are nothing compared to the danger caused by this guy, Plasmodium.
然而，就死亡總數而言，鼠疫和流感與這種傢伙——瘧原蟲——造成的危險相比微不足道。
- So in terms of total fatalities across all of human history, a place where Plasmodium could enter the bloodstream because of a mosquito bite, statistically speaking, could be called the most dangerous place on Earth.
是以，就整個人類歷史的總死亡人數而言，瘧原蟲可能因蚊子叮咬進入血液的地方，從統計學上來說，可以被稱為地球上最危險的地方。
