Joka vuosi 1\u20132 miljoonaa ihmist\u00e4 kuolee malariaan. T\u00e4m\u00e4 tappava tauti levi\u00e4\u00e4 tartunnan saaneilta ihmisilt\u00e4 terveille ihmisille hyttysten v\u00e4lityksell\u00e4. Kun hyttynen puree ihmist\u00e4, se siirt\u00e4\u00e4 loisen t\u00e4m\u00e4n verenkiertoon. L\u00e4\u00e4kkeit\u00e4 on saatavilla, mutta ne ovat usein liian kalliita monille maille Afrikassa ja muualla.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Vaikka suurin osa kuolemantapauksista tapahtuu k\u00f6yhiss\u00e4 maissa, malaria oli aikoinaan yleist\u00e4 my\u00f6s Euroopassa. Jotkut tutkijat uskovat, ett\u00e4 ilmaston l\u00e4mpeneminen saattaisi johtaa malarian paluuseen.<\/p>\n

Ongelma todenn\u00e4k\u00f6isesti pahenee, ellei taudin torjumiseksi l\u00f6ydet\u00e4 uusia keinoja. Onneksi avaruusteknologia saattaa tarjota keinon taistella t\u00e4t\u00e4 joukkotappajaa vastaan.<\/p>\n

Avainasemassa on malarian varhaisvaroitusj\u00e4rjestelmien kehitt\u00e4minen. T\u00e4m\u00e4 on mahdollista vain hankkimalla lis\u00e4\u00e4 tietoa olosuhteista, jotka vallitsevat suuren epidemian puhkeamisen yhteydess\u00e4.<\/p>\n

Satelliittitietojen avulla tutkijat ovat alkaneet laatia yksityiskohtaisia karttoja sadem\u00e4\u00e4rist\u00e4, l\u00e4mp\u00f6tiloista, pintavesist\u00e4 ja kasvipeitteest\u00e4. Kaikki n\u00e4m\u00e4 tekij\u00e4t vaikuttavat hyttysten lis\u00e4\u00e4ntymiskiertoon ja populaatioiden kokoon. Esimerkiksi sadem\u00e4\u00e4rien ja l\u00e4mp\u00f6tilan nousu johtaa malariatapausten lis\u00e4\u00e4ntymiseen, kun hyttysten m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4 kasvaa. Selvitt\u00e4m\u00e4ll\u00e4, miss\u00e4 ja milloin malaria yleens\u00e4 puhkeaa, tutkijat pystyv\u00e4t ennustamaan tulevia epidemioita.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
