歌词
As a Doctor of tropical medicine,
I regularly see first-hand
the effects of one particular deadly creature.
Its bite kills two million people a year,
and its name comes from Spanish word
meaning "small fly".
We know it as a mosquito,
and I'm looking for one in particular,
the anopheles,
the carrier of the deadly parasite
that causes malaria.
And surprisingly,
I'm not deep in a tropical jungle,
I'm pond-dipping in Kent.
Hi, Chris.
Hello.
Yvonne Linton is an entomologist
and biomedical researcher from the museum.
Be careful on the way down.
She's about to show me
that the anopheles are not only here,
they're thriving right under our noses.
There's been a lot.
That's not a Mosquito.
It's a beetle.
See it paranoid.
And I have reason to be paranoid.
Although malaria was successfully eradicated from the UK in the 1950s,
since then, no proper studies have been carried out.
Yvonne's work is changing that,
and it starts with a study of the larvae.
