TITLE=SCIENCE REPORT - Johns Hopkins Malaria1 Institute
BYLINE=Jill Moss2
(Start at 01'0")This is Bill White with the VOA Special English Science Report.
Johns Hopkins University in (1)Baltimore, (2)Maryland has received one-hundred-million dollars to develop new medicines to (3)prevent and (4)treat the disease3 (5)malaria. The (6)identity of the person who gave the money to Johns Hopkins is a secret. It is the largest (7)financial gift given to the university for one single (8)purpose - to fight malaria. Officials say the amount of money for the research will probably increase because of (9)assistance from the National Institutes of Health.
Alfred Sommer heads the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University. He says the person who gave the money wanted it to be used to make a real difference in the world.
The money will (10)establish the Johns Hopkins Malaria Institute. Four researchers already working at the school of public health will begin the project. Three or four more scientists will be added4 each year for several years. There will be at least one-hundred people (11)involved in the project. They will (12)include graduate students, assistant researchers and laboratory5 (13)technicians.
Doctor Sommer says many experts in medicine, (14)genetics and human populations will be working at the new Malaria Institute. Many of them will have no earlier experience studying the disease. Doctor Sommer says this is good because the institute wants to develop a new way to attack the disease. He says there will be a lot of creative thinking from people with different kinds of training.
(15)Mosquito insects spread malaria to people by biting them. The disease attacks the liver6 and destroys red blood cells7. The World Health (16)Organization says the disease (17)infects as many as five-hundred-million people every year. It kills more than one-million people each year. The W-H-O says most cases are in developing8 countries in very warm areas of the world.
Doctor Sommer says malaria also (18)affects the (19)productivity of (20)communities. The W-H-O (21)estimates that the production of goods and services in southern Africa would be thirty-two percent larger if malaria had been ended thirty-five years ago.
Doctor Sommer says he does not expect the Johns Hopkins Malaria Institute to completely9 end the disease in the next ten years. But he says the goal is to develop a (22)vaccine or drug to prevent or treat the disease. He says this would be a huge step forward in the (23)struggle against malaria.
