In a cramped and humid laboratory in London, mosquitoes that swarm in stacked, net-covered cages are being examined in search for keys to control malaria. Scientists have genetically modified them in hopes of preventing them from spreading malaria, a deadly disease. Facing a losing battle against malaria, scientists are increasingly exploring new avenues that might have seemed implausible just a few years ago. “We don’t have things that we can trust,” said Andrea Crisanti, a malaria expert in charge of mosquito genetic modification at Imperial College London. “Time to try something else.” Malaria kills almost three million people worldwide each year, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa.

A study for a ‘national surveillance plan’ on Coronavirus, to quadruple the number of tampons, from 75-90,000 to 300,000 per day, was requested by the Ministry of Health from the microbiologist Andrea Crisanti, considered the ‘father’ of the tampon project . mass produced by the Veneto region.

Crisanti himself made it known in the ‘Corriere del Veneto’. The project, it was reported, has been considered by the ministry and the CTS for a few days. It foresees an initial expense of 40 million, plus 1.5 million per day for the management. “It all started from an informal conversation with Minister D’Incà and Undersecretary Sileri – explains Crisanti – who asked me what to do to face the new wave of infections. I contributed my ideas and they urged me to put everything in black and white ”.
