Ubushakashatsi bwagaragaje ko kubera ko kurumwa n'imibu bibaho kenshi ku manywa, kwinika imyenda irimo imiti isanzwe yica udukoko ni uburyo bworoshye kandi bufite akamaro.
Kuva muri Afurika kugera muri Amerika y'Epfo, hanyuma no muri Aziya, ababyeyi bamaze ibinyejana byinshi bapfunyika abana babo mu mwenda bakabatwara ku mugongo. Muri iki gihe, uyu muco, uhererekanywa kuva ku gisekuru kugeza ku kindi, ushobora kuba umuti ukiza malariya.
Abashakashatsi bo muri Uganda basanze gutera imiti yica udukoko muri parike hakoreshejwe permethrin bishobora kugabanya umubare wa malariya mu bana bato bari muri parike ku kigero cya bibiri bya gatatu.
Malariya yica abantu barenga 600.000 buri mwaka, abenshi muri bo bakaba ari abana bari munsi y’imyaka itanu muri Afurika.
Igerageza ryakorewe mu cyaro cya Kasese mu burengerazuba bwa Uganda ryakorewe ku babyeyi 400 n'impinja zabo, bafite amezi agera kuri atandatu. Kimwe cya kabiri cy'impinja zakoresheje amasashe yatewe na permethrin, azwi mu gace kabo nka "lesus", mu gihe ikindi gice cyakoresheje amasashe asanzwe adavuwe, yinjijwe mu mazi gusa, nk'umuti wica imibu "uteye isoni".
Abashakashatsi babakurikiranye mu gihe cy'amezi atandatu kugira ngo barebe abana bato barwaye malariya kandi bongera kuvura abana babo buri kwezi.
Impinja zambaye imyenda yavuwe zari zifite amahirwe make yo kwandura malariya ku kigero cya kabiri cya gatatu. Muri iri tsinda ry'impinja, umubare w'impinja za malariya wari 0.73 ku bana 100 buri cyumweru, ugereranyije n'impinja 2.14 ku bana 100 buri cyumweru mu rindi tsinda.
Umubyeyi umwe wari witabiriye inama y’abaturage kugira ngo baganire ku byavuye mu igerageza, yarahagurutse abwira buri wese ati “Mfite abana batanu. Ni ubwa mbere ntwaye umwana mu ipantaro yavuwe, kandi ni ubwa mbere mbyaye umwana utigeze arwara malariya.”
Edgar Mugma Mulogo, umwarimu w’ubuzima rusange akaba n’umushakashatsi mukuru muri Kaminuza ya Mbalala y’Ubumenyi n’Ikoranabuhanga muri Uganda, yavuze ko ibyavuye muri ubu bushakashatsi “bishimishije cyane” kuri buri wese.
"Twiteze inyungu zishobora kubaho, ariko twatunguwe cyane n'uburyo izo nyungu zaje kuba nini."
Umwanditsi mugenzi we, Dr. Ross Boyce wo muri Kaminuza ya Carolina y'Amajyaruguru i Chapel Hill, yatunguwe cyane maze avuga ko igerageza rikwiye gusubirwamo kugira ngo hamenyekane neza ibyavuye mu bushakashatsi. Boyce yagize ati: “Mu by’ukuri, mbere sinari nzi neza ko ibi bizagenda neza, ariko niyo mpamvu dukora ubushakashatsi.”
Imibu itwara udukoko twa malariya ikunze kurya nijoro, bityo inzitiramibu zagize uruhare runini mu gukumira no kurwanya malariya.
Ariko, zigenda ziruma abantu cyane mu masaha atari ay'umuvuduko, nko nimugoroba cyangwa mu gitondo cya kare, ibyo bikaba bishobora kuba ari uburyo bwo kumenyera inzitiramibu.
Mulogo yagize ati: “Mbere yo kuryama, iyo uri hanze – cyane cyane mu cyaro aho ibikoni biri hanze kandi abantu bashobora kurira hanze – tugomba no gushaka umuti wo kwirinda kurumwa bishobora gukwirakwiza malariya.”
Yavuze ko udutambaro tw’abana turi ahantu henshi muri iyi miryango kandi ko tudakoreshwa gusa mu gutwara abana, ahubwo dukoreshwa no mu gupfuka imyenda, amashuka n’amatapi. Yizeye ko udutambaro twavuwe dushobora kuba igikoresho mu kurwanya malariya muri Uganda. Yavuze ko icyo cyifuzo cyamaze kugaragara mu miryango yitabiriye ubu bushakashatsi.
Abayobozi b’ubuzima bo muri Uganda n’umuyobozi wa gahunda mpuzamahanga y’Umuryango w’Abibumbye ishinzwe ubuzima ku ndwara ya malariya bagaragaje impungenge kuri ubu bushakashatsi. Ubu bushakashatsi bushobora kugirira akamaro abana bato, kuko ingaruka zo kurinda indwara z’ababyeyi zigenda zigabanuka buhoro buhoro, akenshi na mbere y’uko umwana akingirwa.
Ubu bushakashatsi kandi bwibanze ku bushakashatsi bwakozwe mbere ku kuvura amashuka mu nkambi z'impunzi zo muri Afuganisitani, bwagaragaje ko bwagize icyo bugeraho. Amabwiriza y'Umuryango w'Abibumbye wita ku Buzima yamaze kwemeza ingaruka zo kurinda imyenda yavuwe na permethrine mu kwirinda malariya.
Mulogo yizeye gutangiza igikorwa cyo gutunganya filime z'ibiribwa ziterwa mu gace mu gihe kizaza. “Aya yaba amahirwe meza yo guteza imbere ubucuruzi bwo mu gace.”
Abashakashatsi bavuga ko hakenewe intambwe nyinshi mbere yuko ubu buryo bukoreshwa cyane, harimo no gutanga ibimenyetso by'uko bufite akamaro mu bindi bice.
Boyce yavuze ko umuti wica udukoko ufite umutekano mwiza kandi umaze imyaka myinshi ukoreshwa mu nganda z'imyenda, harimo n'igisirikare cya Amerika. Yahuye n'uyu muti bwa mbere ubwo yakoreraga muri Iraki.
Impinja zapfundikiwe imyenda ya permethrin zari zifite ibyago byinshi byo kurwara uduheri - 8.5% na 6%, uko bikurikirana - ariko indwara zose zari zoroheje kandi ntizasabaga ko zitashyirwa mu bushakashatsi. Boyce na Mulogo bavuze ko hakenewe ubundi bushakashatsi kugira ngo hemezwe umutekano w'ubu buryo, ariko inyungu zabwo zishobora kuba zirenze ingaruka izo ari zo zose.
Boyce yizeye kwiga niba kuvura imyenda y'ishuri bishobora no kugabanya ubwandu bwa malariya. Icyakora, yavuze ko ubu adafite amafaranga yo gukora icyiciro gikurikira cy'ubushakashatsi.
Yizeye ko ubu buryo bworoshye buzakurura abaterankunga. Yagize ati: “Ndetse na mama arasobanukiwe icyo dukora. Ntabwo ari ibijyanye n’uburyo runaka bwo guhuza poroteyine cyangwa ikindi kintu nk’icyo. Twafashe gusa urugingo, turutobesha, kandi birahendutse cyane.”
