Sleeping sickness, or African trypanosomiasis, is an infectious disease. It is caused by parasites from the species Trypanosoma brucei. People get African trypanosomiasis from the tsetse fly. Because of this, it is most common in certain areas of Africa, especially Sub-Saharan Africa, where the tsetse fly lives.

Schistosomiasis

Trematode infections is transmitted when larval forms released by freshwater snails penetrate human skin during contact with infested water. An estimated 700 million people are at risk. #BeatNTDs

excerpt:

The frequency of treatment is determined by the prevalence of infection in school-age children. In high-transmission areas, treatment may have to be repeated every year for a number of years. Monitoring is essential to determine the impact of control interventions.

The aim is to reduce disease morbidity and transmission: periodic treatment of at-risk populations will cure mild symptoms and prevent infected people from developing severe, late-stage chronic disease. However, a major limitation to schistosomiasis control has been the limited availability of praziquantel. Data for 2016 show that 34.4% of people requiring treatment were reached globally, with a proportion of 51.6% of school-aged children requiring preventive chemotherapy for schistosomiasis being treated.

Praziquantel is the recommended treatment against all forms of schistosomiasis. It is effective, safe, and low-cost. Even though re-infection may occur after treatment, the risk of developing severe disease is diminished and even reversed when treatment is initiated and repeated in childhood.

Schistosomiasis control has been successfully implemented over the past 40 years in several countries, including Brazil, Cambodia, China, Egypt, Mauritius, Islamic Republic of Iran, Oman, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. There is evidence that schistosomiasis transmission was interrupted in Morocco. In Burkina Faso, Niger, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Rwanda and Yemen, it has been possible to scale up schistosomiasis treatment to the national level and have an impact on the disease in a few years. An assessment of the status of transmission is being made in several countries.

Over the past 10 years, there has been scale-up of treatment campaigns in a number of sub-Saharan countries, where most of those at risk live.

In Ethiopia, a special drone program is being used to drop the sterilized males at target locations. Using the drones designed by Embention helps to reduce the costs of the program while improving the precision of the fly-seeding effort.

It’s interesting to see how useful drones are becoming. Saw another program where drones are used to drop pellets laced with medicine into gopher colonies that are being decimated by disease. I forgot why the colonies needed to be preserved, but there was a good reason.

Keep those hard working, high achieving black people away and go for the white European socialists?

I’ll take the hard working social conservatives for 500, Alex.

But that wasn’t an option!

This was about Trump’s preference for Norwegian people over people from Africa, and my observation that 43% of Nigerian Americans have a college degree versus 33% of white Americans.

Then those Nigerians will do quite well in a merit based system, right?

But you are citing numbers for legal immigrants. What is the degree attainment for illegals from all of Africa, these are the people the Dems wanted to receive special visas, and thus Trump’s comment.

How many illegals are from Africa?

I have no idea, please stop deflecting.
My question was to another poster who was cherry-picking data, but answer my question if you can.

Africa entered the debate because Dems wanted to provide them with special visas, I have no background on their request.

If there aren’t many illegals from Africa, why would the Dems want to give them special visas? What specifically did the democrats propose regarding African immigrants?
 
People in America need to stop making excuses for Trump. He is a liar. He is tearing apart the country with his hateful divisive talk. Practicing Catholics especially should have and practice a higher standard of decency than what I’m reading here. It really is true, He could shoot someone and you trump supporters would defend him.
 
I disagree with your rhetoric
I think this image is good for you


disagreeing with your rhetoric isn’t making excuses.

You kinda sound like the hateful one! almost all of your posts about DT accuse him of something or another. Very hateful and not very inclusive!
 
Hate is irrelevent and not part of my observations. I am extremely dismayed that people saying they are catholics could make excuses for this man. The actual events concerning this man, unfolding right in front of our eyes and ears, the words out of his mouth and his past and present crooked deeds, the whipping up of strife and bigotry amoung Americans, the utter intentional ignorance of trump supporters to ignore the facts.The fact that he is utterly unqualified to be the president. The people who support trump here think they are the moral majority and they are not. To say that someone is a liar, a bigot, a shady businessman, a dishonest bullying politician is stating the obvious, not simply conveying an emotion like hate. Obvious to the majority of Americans as well as people and leaders around the world.

And conclusory. Just conclusions, unvarnished opinions without any foundation.

Yup ever accusation is a given truth, no need to support it.

Just saw it foisted Trump was fined three times during his 2016 campaign for serious stuff,
but google doesn’t corroborate.

A good friend has been to Nigeria about 3 or 4 times for several months in total. I was in chat with him this morning and I mentioned the 43% number to him: he said everyone who graduates from college in Nigeria and isn’t in one of the ruling families wants to leave the country. They’ve given up hope. The friend called Lagos the absolute worst s—hole he’d ever been in and he’s been in a lot of s—hole cities.

If the Nigerian intelligentsia mostly has no hope, think what the lower classes are feeling. Most of them want out, polls in Nigeria consistently say up to 60% are hoping they can emigrate to a 1st world country. Multiply that sentiment across sub-Sahara Africa and one can understand what motivates these people to risk so much for Europe and elsewhere. But the unfortunate thing is there is no way the 1st world can accept let alone afford every last African who wants to come. It isn’t just that they don’t have 1st world skills or language, it’s also they bring their 3rd world culture and disease with them, putting on us the attendant expenses of dealing with that. For instance, tuberculosis is a problem now when it used to be rare in the 2nd half of the 20th century.

They used to refuse admittance at Ellis Island to those who failed the health checks and there is still some screening at a lower level at international entry ports around the US. But the illegals mostly bypass all that which is not a good thing. I have to imagine that is a real problem in Europe as well.

Most pro-immigration folks tend to call talk of limits on immigration as “hateful” and “racist”. That’s not a reasonable starting position. It’s a big reason why the Democrats stopped the government shutdown: they’re realizing that supporting the illegals as well as chain migration as vociferously as they did is simply a losing position with the American electorate. The Democrats are starting to lose the legal minority working class as well as the white working class. Even the RINO’s are feeling the pain: Jeff Flake, for instance, has already announced he’s not running for reelection. That might have something to do with the poll numbers showing he’s going to lose big in the primary. The grass roots mostly isn’t stupid, we understand some immigration is ok: we just want more limits and we want the illegals dealt with.

Pointing out facts isn’t hateful. Ignoring reality isn’t a useful argument.

Hey listen I understand your pain and frustration. If Trump would have lost the election I’m positive you would see many crazy right wingers on here whining how dismayed they are by the leftist catholics making excuses for this woman! (Hilary Clinton).

I’m sure it would read something like:
People in America need to stop making excuses for Clinton. She is a liar. She is tearing apart the country with her hateful & divisive Ideology. Practicing Catholics especially should have and practice a higher standard of decency than what I’m reading here. It really is true, She could rip an unborn child out of the mothers womb and you Clinton supporters would defend her.

Peace Joy, It is not only Trump supporters that need to open there hearts and minds to the truth. but all of us. I know the Log is rather large in my eye. I wonder how big your is?
