Esta enfermedad mortal es propagada por los mosquitos transmiti\u00e9ndola de una persona infectada a una persona sana. As\u00ed, cuando el mosquito pica a una persona le transmite un par\u00e1sito que se deposita en su sangre. Disponemos de medicamentos para combatir esa infecci\u00f3n, pero con frecuencia son demasiado costosos para muchos pa\u00edses en \u00c1frica y otras regiones del mundo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Aunque la mayor\u00eda de las muertes ocurren en pa\u00edses poco desarrollados, la malaria fue com\u00fan en un tiempo en Europa. Algunos cient\u00edficos consideran que el calentamiento global podr\u00eda favorecer la reaparici\u00f3n de la malaria.<\/p>\n<p>Es probable que este problema siga empeorando a menos que encontremos nuevas formas de combatir esta enfermedad. Por fortuna, la tecnolog\u00eda espacial puede ofrecer medios para defendernos de esta plaga asesina.<\/p>\n<p>La clave consiste en desarrollar sistemas de alerta temprana para la malaria. Esto s\u00f3lo puede lograrse reuniendo m\u00e1s conocimientos acerca de las condiciones que se presentan simult\u00e1neamente en el momento en que ocurre un gran brote de malaria.<\/p>\n<p>Con ayuda de los datos recopilados a trav\u00e9s de los sat\u00e9lites, los cient\u00edficos est\u00e1n comenzando a obtener mapas detallados de precipitaciones, temperaturas, aguas superficiales y manto vegetal. Todos estos factores influyen en el ciclo de reproducci\u00f3n y en el n\u00famero de mosquitos.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year, between 1 and 2 million people die from malaria.
