In this Nature Podcast episode, researchers introduce two innovative compounds that target malaria parasites within mosquitoes, a solution to increasing insecticide resistance in malaria control efforts. The compounds can be integrated into bed nets, potentially transforming malaria transmission mitigation. Additionally, breakthroughs in genetics highlight specific mutations causing pregnancy loss, which may allow clinicians to screen embryos and enhance pregnancy outcomes. Other notable segments cover advancements in sustainable water harvesting technologies and the environmental impact of the wealthy, emphasizing their role in climate issues.
Researchers have developed two new compounds effective in killing malaria-causing parasites within mosquitoes, aiming to address resistance to current insecticide measures applied in malaria control.
A breakthrough in recognizing specific genetic mutations responsible for pregnancy loss has been achieved, opening the door for embryo screening to prevent non-viable pregnancies.
