The difficulty of protecting the people of Cambodia from this disease is immense. Farmers are isolated from medical help often, and just scraping together a living at survival level takes all the energy and time the families have. they play, laugh, and treat each other with love, but have little time to manage mosquito bites and nets. I have really little more to say, but this disease is outrunning the medical developments, and since the countries with money don't have the disease in any significant numbers, the focus is not there.
It may develop strains uneffected by current meds, and become a huge tragedy wherever mosquitoes fly.
Not sure how we wake up to so many potentially high risk to humans diseases, but the wealthy countries need to wake up to the plight of the third world countries, or this will cross many borders not caring about how thin or thick the wallet is.
