Spinosyns as endectocides for blocking transmission of malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases

疟疾是一种由寄生虫引起的疾病。它由蚊子传播，每年导致40万人死亡。为了预防疟疾，我们必须阻止传播。我们发现了一种天然物质，如果摄入这种物质，动物的血液对至少一种蚊子是致命的。它还能杀死寄生虫。我们的目标是确定它是否能杀死其他主要类型的蚊子，以及它是如何杀死寄生虫的。我们希望这项研究能够研发出一种能够阻止疟疾和其他热带疾病传播的药物。

Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite. It is transmitted by mosquitoes and kills 400,000 people annually. To prevent malaria we must stop transmission. We have discovered a natural substance that, if ingested, makes an animal's blood lethal to at least one type of mosquito. It also kills the parasite. We aim to determine if it kills other key mosquito types and how it kills the parasite. We expect this study will lead to a pill that stops transmission of malaria and other tropical diseases.
