Malaria modules 3 and 4
The μGnome has finished preparing Malaria module 3 and Malaria module 4. These cover public health, travel health and expedition medicine aspects of malaria and vector biology. The two mini-lectures are presented here to help those studying for the FACTM pt 1 exam later this year. They complement modules 1 and 2.
More details can be found on the excellent Malaria site run by the WHO.
Settings for which the μGnome needed professional travel health and expedition medicine advice included Brazil and Sri Lanka. Click on the links for more on those expeditions.
Thanks for the DTMH flashbacks Tim. I still think there is something distinctly malign about the name 'anthropophagus'….
Yes, the Latin derivation makes it sound a bit like "man-eating Anopheles". There must be a bit of gender rivalry going on there, since it's always the female Anopheles that goes for the blood meal. Maybe it's a good thing we don't have endemic malaria in Oz to worry about as well.
