Mai i te marama o Oketopa 2023, kei te pā ki a Parahi te pūwha mate dengue nui rawa atu puta noa i te motu i roto i tōna hītori.
Kua pā tata ki ngā kawanatanga katoa, ā, kua whakataua he āhua ohorere i roto i ētahi rohe maha.
I pūrongo te niupepa ā-ia rā o Piritene, ko Financial Times, i te 2 o Pipiri 2024, kua rēhitatia e
5.5 miriona ngā mate pāwera tae noa ki tēnei wā.
Ko te mate dengue, e hua ai te wera nui, te mamae uaua me te toto ā-roto, kua mate kē atu i te 3,200 tāngata i tēnei tau.
E mōhiotia ana mō ngā tau, kei te tukuna ngā namu kua whakarerekētia i roto i ngā whare taiwhanga ki ngā whenua maha
puta noa i te ao, otirā ki Brazil, hei whawhai i ngā mate pāwera.
I tērā tau, i pānuitia e te Hōtaka Mate Mōkī o te Ao a Ngā Motu Whakakotahi ngā mahere kia tukuna ngā piriona mōkī kua whakatipu
ki ngā wāhi maha o Parāihi i roto i ngā tekau tau e heke mai nei.
Ko te tikanga rangahau e whakamahia ana, ko te whakawhāngai i ngā mōtini tīkiti Ahia ki te huakita Wolbachia e puta noa
ana, ā, ka tukuna rātou ki roto i te taupori mōtini taketake.
Ko te huakita Wolbachia e whakamahia ana hei aukati i te dengue, te Zika me ētahi atu huaketo kia kore ai e
kawea e ngā namu ki ētahi atu namu, ā, kia kore ai e pā ki te taupori tangata o te rohe.
Kua whakamātauria kē e te mana hauora o Brazil te tuku namu whakamātautau ki ngā tāone nui e rima o Brazil.
Engari he aha ngā hua i puta i tēnei tukunga?
Hei iti rawa, e whakaatu ana ngā tatauranga o nāianei kāore i heke te maha o ngā keehi o te mate
denga, engari kua piki ki te taumata tiketike rawa.
He tirohanga ki te wā o mua e whakaatu ana kāore i angitu ngā kaupapa rangahau o mua i arotahi ki te whakahaere
i ngā mate pāwera mā ngā namu kua whakarerekētia ā-ira.
Hei tauira, i waenga i te tau 2013 me te tau 2015, i tukuna e te kamupene pūtaiao koiora Piritene, Oxitec, neke atu i
te 12 miriona ngā mōtiti kua whakarerekētia ā-ira ki Brazil.
Ko te whāinga o tēnei whakamātautau ā-wāhi i taua wā, he whakaiti i te taupori o te namu tīkara,
Aedes aegypti, nāna i tino kawemai te mate denga.
Heoi, i muri i te 30 marama, i kitea hoki ngā panonitanga ira i roto i te 60% o ngā mōsikito ā-rohe.
Engari ehara tērā i te mea katoa: kua hoki anō te hekenga i hiahiatia o te taupori namu taira, i tutuki i te
tuatahi, ki tōna taumata o mua i muri i te 18 marama.
I puta he whakawhāititanga i waenga i ngā namu taketake me ngā namu kua whakarerekētia ā-ira, ā, nā
reira i puta he taupori namu kaha ake i mua i te tuku.
Hei tāpiri, kua whakaatu ngā kitenga rangahau e ōrite ana te tūponotanga o ngā mōsitō ki te kawe i ngā
mate pāwera i mua, i muri rānei o te whakamātautau.
Ahakoa kua hinga katoa ngā whakamātautau kua mahia tae noa mai ki tēnei wā ki te whakatutuki i tō rātou whāinga, kāore
anō kia whakamutua te whakaputa i ngā wheketere namu i Brazil.
Ka ara ake te pātai he aha ngā painga kei muri i ngā kaupapa rangahau, ā, ko wai e pūtea ana i tō rātou whakatinanatanga.
I te tau 2019, i pānuitia e te Hōtaka Ngārara o te Ao i tōna paetukutuku, ka whakarato te Pūtea Bill & Melinda
Gates me te Wellcome Trust i te $50 miriona hei pūtea mō te kaupapa rangahau e pā ana ki te huakita Wolbachia.
I tautokohia e te Pūtea Rangahau a Bill & Melinda Gates ngā rangahau mō te werohanga dengue i te tau 2003.
Ko te werohanga e hangaia ana e te kamupene rongoā o Hapani, a Takeda, kua whiwhi hoki ia i ngā
tekau miriona pauna mai i te Gates Foundation.
Engari ehara i a Bill Gates anake; e tautoko ana hoki ētahi atu whakahaere i ngā kaupapa rangahau e pā
ana ki ngā pepeke kua whakarerekētia i te taiwhanga.
Hei tauira, i te tau 2022, i mahi kē te rōpū Management Sciences for Health i tētahi rangahau kia mōhio ai ko ēhea
whenua puta noa i te ao e hiahia ana ki te utu kia whakamahi i te pūtau mate hou e kīia nei ko Wolbachia.
E ai ki āna ake pārongo, e tautokohia ana a Management Sciences for Health e ngā rōpū maha,
ngā whare wānanga me ngā kamupene tūmataiti.
I waenga i ētahi atu: te Pūtea Bill & Melinda Gates te kamupene rongoā me te hangarau koiora a Pfizer te kamupene rongoā o Ahia
a Takeda, e hanga ana i ngā werohanga hei whawhai i te mate dengue te kaupapa hauora ā-ao a Unitaid me te Rōpū Hauora o te Ao
He tirohanga ki te whare rangahau pūtaiao o Brazil, te Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (FIOCRUZ mō te poto), e aki ana i te
whakaputa namu, ā, e whakaatu ana hoki i tētahi whatunga hononga whakamīharo ki ngā whakahaere me ngā whare wānanga maha.
Ko ētahi tauira whakahirahira: Te Peeke o te Ao Ngā Motu Whakakotahi Te Tahua Tamariki a Ngā Motu
Whakakotahi, arā ko UNICEF Te Rōpū Hauora o te Ao
E whakaatu ana tētahi tirohanga tere ki Brazil, kāore ngā kaupapa rangahau e pā ana ki ngā namu kua whakarerekētia
i te taiwhanga i whakakorehia, ahakoa e mōhiotia ana kāore rātou e tutuki ana i ā rātou whāinga.
Ahakoa kāore i angitu, ā, kāore hoki he hekenga kitea o ngā mate pāwera, kei te tukuna atu he piriona atu o
ngā namu, ā, nā reira e piki ana ngā utu pūtea nui, me te pikinga o ngā mate me ngā matenga.
He aha kei muri i tēnei tauira ōhanga?
Me whakamahia ngā namu hei patu pakanga ki te tangata ā muri ake nei?
He whakatau kotahi tonu e toe ana: kei te pāngia e te kino nui rawa atu ngā tāngata i ngā whenua e tukuna ana ngā mōsikito.
I Hūrae 2023, i whakatūpato a Ivo Sasek, te kaiwhakatū o Kla.TV, mō te pikinga haere o te
tukunga ā-ao o ngā namu kua whakarerekētia ā-ira.
Nā ngā āhuatanga o nāianei i Brazil, kei te whakahāngai anō a Kla.TV i tana whaikōrero i taua wā.
Whakarongo ki ēnei kōrero whakamīharo e whai ake nei, me ētahi rongoā whakamīharo tuatahi hoki.
