Genetically Modified Mosquitoes for Malaria Control
Despite a century of research and attempts to control one of the deadliest foes of mankind, the malaria situation remains a major public health problem. Obviously biological explanations (the resistance of parasites and mosquitoes against available drugs and insecticides respectively) are often given, but they remain partial and incomplete. Indeed,

Viral Economies
Over the last decade, infectious disease outbreaks have heightened fears of a catastrophic pandemic passing from animals to humans. From Ebola and bird flu to swine flu and MERS, zoonotic viruses are killing animals and wreaking havoc on the people living near them. Given this clear correlation between animals and viral infection, why are animals largely invisible in social science accounts of pandemics, and why do they remain marginal in critiques of global public health? In Viral Economies, Natalie Porter draws from long-term research on bird flu in Vietnam to chart the pathways of scientists, NGO workers, state veterinarians, and poultry farmers as they define and address pandemic risks. ...

Dr Ronald Ross Mosquito, Malaria, India and the Nobel Prize
The discovery of inextricable link between mosquito-malaria by Dr Ronald Ross in 1897 in India is said to be the greatest of all discoveries during the 19th Century! For his epoch-making discovery Dr Ross was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology, 1902, besides a string of lofty laurels bestowed with him both in India and Great Britain including Knighthood. Through his dedication to malaria he had obviously joined the extraordinary league of such great scientists as Dr Patrick Manson, Dr Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, Dr Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran, Dr Giovanni Battista Grassi, Dr Camillo Golgi and Dr Robert Koch etc., just to name a few for example. Ronald Ross was born in Almora l...
Pandora
« ... Il est aimable et même attirant le paysage de vos illusions, quand on le voit de loin ou de haut. Vous avez l’air de modestes jardiniers, d’enfants qui jouent à tracer des routes, à remplir des citernes. Mais que l’on s’approche aussitôt, sur ces routes pleines de poussière, vous venez et l’on voit que tout est rempli, saturé, et que vos paroles n’ont plus assez d’espace entre elles pour pouvoir vous parvenir et qu’elles se perdent, comme les oripeaux d’un habit devenu trop grand pour vous – un habit, le langage, qui avait besoin de silence et de vérité. Alors je vous le dis, ici, au théâtre, ou un peu de vérité a été préservée peut-être, je souhaite qu’un jour un matin vous soit rendu. [...] Mais ce matin ne vient pas, ou s’il vient et qu’il est noir, encore plus noir, que pourrez-vous vous dire, et nous dire ? » Collection « Détroits » fondée par Jean-Christophe Bailly, Michel Deutsch et Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe
