I am an AA genotype so I can totally relate to the fact that we are much more prone to being affected by malaria(I always keep emergency malaria meds in my first aid box just in case).
What would really be mind blowing though is the idea that malaria could be exterminated by ridding the carrier(mosquitoes) of the parasite totally through gene modification. It is a really good idea but it has left me wondering how and what the process for that would look like considering that mosquitoes are very tiny and hard to get a hold of and there's probably tens of millions(I stand to be corrected here) of them existing at any single period.
This is a really nice post. Thanks for sharing
