Ua hōʻike ʻia e ka noiʻi ʻana no ka mea ʻoi aku ka pinepine o nā nahu makika i ke ao, he ala maʻalahi a maikaʻi hoʻi ka hoʻomoʻa ʻana i nā lole me nā mea pale pepeke maʻamau.
Mai ʻApelika a i ʻAmelika Latina, a laila a i ʻĀsia, no nā kenekulia ua ʻōwili nā makuahine i kā lākou mau pēpē i ka lole a hāpai iā lākou ma luna o ko lākou kua. I kēia lā, ʻo kēia kuʻuna, i hoʻoili ʻia mai kēlā hanauna a i kēia hanauna, hiki ke lilo i lāʻau lapaʻau e hoʻōla ai i ka maʻi malaria.
Ua ʻike nā kānaka noiʻi ma Uganda hiki i ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻāpana me ka permethrin insecticide ke hōʻemi i ka nui o ka malaria ma waena o nā pēpē i loko o nā ʻāpana ma ʻelua hapakolu.
Ua pepehi ka maʻi malaria ma mua o 600,000 mau kānaka i kēlā me kēia makahiki, ʻo ka hapa nui o lākou he mau keiki ma lalo o ʻelima mau makahiki ma ʻApelika.
Ua pili kahi hoʻokolohua i mālama ʻia ma ke kauhale kuaʻāina ʻo Kasese ma ke komohana o Uganda i 400 mau makuahine a me kā lākou mau pēpē, ma kahi o ʻeono mahina. Ua hoʻohana ka hapalua o nā pēpē i nā diapers i mālama ʻia me ka permethrin, i ʻike ʻia ma kahi o "lesus," aʻo ka hapalua ʻē aʻe i hoʻohana i nā diapers maʻamau i mālama ʻole ʻia, i hoʻomohu wale ʻia i ka wai, ma ke ʻano he mea pale makika "hoʻohenehene".
Ua hahai nā kānaka noiʻi iā lākou no ʻeono mahina e ʻike i nā pēpē i loaʻa i ka malaria a mālama hou i nā diapers i kēlā me kēia mahina.
ʻO nā pēpē i ʻōwili ʻia i loko o nā diaper i mālama ʻia he ʻelua hapakolu ka emi o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka malaria. Ma kēia hui o nā pēpē, ʻo ka nui o ka malaria he 0.73 no 100 pēpē i kēlā me kēia pule, ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me 2.14 no 100 pēpē i kēlā me kēia pule ma ka hui ʻē aʻe.
ʻO kekahi makuahine, i hele ma kahi hālāwai kaiāulu e kūkākūkā i nā hopena o ka hoʻokolohua, kū aʻela ʻo ia a haʻi akula i nā mea a pau, "ʻElima aʻu keiki. ʻO kēia ka manawa mua aʻu i hāpai ai i kahi keiki i loko o kahi diaper i mālama ʻia, a ʻo ia hoʻi ka manawa mua aʻu i hānau ai i kahi keiki i loaʻa ʻole i ka malaria."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Edgar Mugma Mulogo, he polopeka o ke olakino lehulehu a he alakaʻi noiʻi ma ke Kulanui ʻEpekema a me ka ʻenehana ʻo Mbalala ma Uganda, he "mea hoihoi loa" nā mea i ʻike ʻia no nā mea āpau.
"Ua manaʻo mākou i nā pono kūpono, akā ua kāhāhā maoli mākou i ka nui o kēlā mau pono i loaʻa."
Ua pūʻiwa kāna mea kākau alakaʻi, ʻo Kauka Ross Boyce o ke Kulanui o North Carolina ma Chapel Hill, a ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia e hana hou ʻia ka hoʻokolohua e hōʻoia hou i nā hopena. "ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole maopopo iaʻu i ka wā mua e holomua kēia hopena," wahi a Boyce, "akā ʻo ia ke kumu e hana ai mākou i ka noiʻi."
ʻAi pinepine nā makika e lawe ana i nā parasite malaria i ka pō, no laila ua hoʻokani nā ʻupena makika i kahi kuleana koʻikoʻi i ka pale ʻana a me ka kaohi ʻana i ka malaria.
Eia nō naʻe, ke piʻi nei ko lākou nahu ʻana i nā kānaka i nā hola ʻaʻole kiʻekiʻe, e like me ke ahiahi a i ke kakahiaka nui paha, he mea ia e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ai i nā ʻupena makika.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mulogo: "Ma mua o ka hiamoe ʻana, i kou wā ma waho - ʻoi aku hoʻi ma nā wahi kuaʻāina kahi e noho ai nā lumi kuke ma waho a hiki i ka poʻe ke ʻai ma waho - pono mākou e ʻimi i kahi hopena e pale aku ai i nā nahu e hiki ke hoʻolaha i ka maʻi malaria."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua nui nā diapers ma kēia mau kaiāulu a hoʻohana ʻia ʻaʻole wale no ka hāpai ʻana i nā pēpē akā he mau shawl, nā pale moe, a me nā ʻapele. Manaʻolana ʻo ia e lilo nā diapers i mālama ʻia i mea hana i ke kaua ʻana o Uganda i ka malaria. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua kū mai kēlā pono i nā kaiāulu e komo ana i ke aʻo ʻana.
Ua hōʻike nā luna olakino o Uganda a me ke poʻo o ka papahana malaria honua o ka World Health Organization i ko lākou hopohopo e pili ana i ka noiʻi. Hiki i ka noiʻi ke lilo i mea pono no nā pēpē, ʻoiai e mae mālie ana ka hopena pale o nā antibodies makuahine, pinepine ma mua o ka hoʻopili ʻia ʻana o ke keiki.
Kūkulu pū kēia haʻawina ma luna o nā haʻawina i hala e pili ana i ka mālama ʻana i nā shawl ma nā kahua hoʻomoana o nā mea mahuka Afghan, nāna i hōʻike i ka holomua like. Ua ʻike mua nā alakaʻi o ka World Health Organization i ka hopena pale o nā lole i mālama ʻia me ka permethrin i ka pale ʻana i ka malaria.
Manaʻolana ʻo Mulogo e hoʻomaka i ka hana kūloko o ka ʻili ʻai i hoʻomoʻa ʻia i ka wā e hiki mai ana. "He manawa kūpono nui kēia no ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā ʻoihana kūloko."
Ua ʻōlelo nā mea noiʻi he nui nā hana e pono ai ma mua o ka hoʻohana nui ʻia ʻana, me ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā hōʻike o ka pono o ke ʻano hana ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Boyce he maikaʻi ka palekana o ka pesticide a ua hoʻohana ʻia i ka ʻoihana lole no nā makahiki he nui, e ka pūʻali koa US. Ua ʻike mua ʻo ia i ka pesticide i kona wā e lawelawe ana ma Iraq.
ʻOi aku ka nui o ka pilikia o nā pēpē i ʻōwili ʻia me nā diapers i mālama ʻia me ka permethrin i ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi ʻulaʻula—8.5% a me 6%, kēlā me kēia—akā ua akahai nā hihia āpau a ʻaʻole pono e hoʻokaʻawale ʻia mai ke aʻo ʻana. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Boyce lāua ʻo Mulogo e pono ana ka noiʻi hou aʻe e hōʻoia i ka palekana o kēia ʻano hana, akā ʻoi aku ka nui o kona mau pono ma mua o nā pilikia.
Manaʻolana ʻo Boyce e noiʻi inā hiki i ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻaʻahu kula ke hōʻemi i ka nui o ka maʻi malaria. Eia naʻe, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻaʻohe ona kālā no ka pae aʻe o ka noiʻi.
Manaʻolana ʻo ia e huki mai ka maʻalahi o kēia ʻano hana i nā kākoʻo. "Maopopo nō hoʻi i koʻu makuahine ka mea a mākou e hana nei. ʻAʻole ia e pili ana i kekahi mea hoʻopaʻa protein fusion kikoʻī a i ʻole kekahi mea like. Ua lawe wale mākou i ka ʻiʻo, hoʻomohu iā ia, a he mea kūʻai ʻole loa ia," wahi āna.
