It might actually tell me whether I have malaria right now or not.

This one allows us to identify malaria parasites by running them for a little longer, and we can identify malaria parasites that are in the blood that we can separate out and detect with something like a centrifuge.

These are enemies because they cause malaria, Zika, chikungunya, dengue.

Many are dying because of all those kind of pandemics, HIV, malaria, poverty, not going to school.

CRISPR could create plants that yield larger fruit, mosquitoes that can’t transmit malaria, or even reprogram drug-resistant cancer cells.

Hands up: anyone in the audience who is in favor of malaria?

Hands up: anyone in the audience who's not sure whether malaria is a good thing or a bad thing?

So we all think malaria is a bad thing.

Now the thing is, I would like to put it to you that the main reason why we think that malaria is a bad thing is because of a characteristic of malaria that it shares with aging.

The only real difference is that aging kills considerably more people than malaria does.

In contrast, Spread the Net offers donors a concrete promise: for every 10 dollars donated, they provide one bed net to protect a child from malaria.

Researchers have been able to trace the origins of the sickle cell mutation to regions historically ravaged by a tropical disease called malaria.

Spread by a parasite found in local mosquitoes, malaria uses red blood cells as incubators to spread quickly and lethally through the bloodstream.

However, the same structural changes that turn red blood cells into roadblocks also make them more resistant to malaria.

And if a child inherits a copy of the mutation from only one parent, there will be just enough abnormal hemoglobin to make life difficult for the malaria parasite, while most of their red blood cells retain their normal shape and function.

Today, most people with sickle-cell disease can trace their ancestry to a country where malaria is endemic.

And this mutation still plays a key role in Africa, where more than 90% of malaria infections occur worldwide.

As these tools become available in the areas most affected by malaria and sickle cell disease, we can improve the quality of life for more patients with this adverse adaptation.

But what would happen if one of you was infected with malaria?

Well, let's just have a quick look at the malaria life cycle.

If this was to happen in the malaria system, it might make sense that it would be something to do with odour that they manipulate because odour is the key, odour's the thing that links us between mosquitoes; that's how they find us.

This is what we call the malaria manipulation hypothesis, and it's something that we've been working on over the last few years.

So one of the first things that we wanted to do in our study was to find out whether an infection with malaria actually makes you more attractive to mosquitoes or not.

Now, some of the participants were infected with malaria and some of them were uninfected.

People who were infected with malaria were significantly more attractive than people who were uninfected.

Now, using this method with our malaria samples, we were able to find out what the mosquito was detecting.

And we found the malaria associated compounds were a group of compounds, mainly aldehydes, a group of compounds that smelled, that signified the malaria at signal here.

So now we know what the smell of malaria is, and we've used the mosquito as a bio-sensor to tell us what the smell of malaria actually is.

Now, I'd like to imagine that you could, I don't know, put a harness on a little mosquito and, you know, put it on a lead and take it out and see if we can sniff people in a community - that goes on in my head - and see whether we could actually find people with malaria.

So we wanted to know: Could we actually train dogs to learn the smell of malaria?
