Health Buzz: Sleep With A Chicken To Avoid Malaria
By David Oliver If you want to avoid get- ting malaria, consider cuddling a chicken. Seriously.
New research published today in Malaria Journal shows malaria-transmit- ting mosquitoes won't feed on chickens due to their smell – meaning humans could use these smells to prevent getting the disease.
Researchers from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia discovered this phenom- enon when studying the leading malaria-spread- ing mosquito species Anopheles arabiensis.
The researchers exam- ined three Ethiopian vil- lages where humans and livestock co-habi- tate. They looked at human and domestic animal data and blood- fed mosquitoes to track
said blood's origins. Data showed that Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes sought humans indoors over animals, but outdoors would venture for cattle, goats and sheep. In each instance, they steered clear of chick- ens.
Researchers also gath- ered the hair, wool and feathers of possible host and non-host species. They pinpointed com- pounds only found in chicken feathers and set up mosquito traps to test their repellent ability compared to separate compounds. The chick- en compound traps had fewer mosquitoes com- pared to the control traps, and placing a liv- ing chicken in a cage near the trap led to a comparable occurrence.
This research could lead to malaria prevention methods where they're needed most. According
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 438,000 people died of malaria last year, mostly African region children.
"People in sub-Saharan Africa have suffered considerably under the burden of malaria over an extended period of time and mosquitoes are becoming increas- ingly physiologically resistant to pesticides, while also changing their feeding habits for example by moving from indoors to outdoors," study author Rickard Ignell said in a press release. "For this reason there is a need to devel- op novel control meth- ods. In our study, we have been able to iden- tify a number of natural odour compounds which could repel host-seeking malaria mosquitoes and prevent them from get- ting in contact with peo- ple."
