ʻO ka makika a i ʻole ka namu he mau ʻiniko lele e hiki ke hoʻoili i nā maʻi. Ma kekahi mau wahi a me nā ʻāina, ua kapa ʻia lākou ʻo Staunsen, Gelsen, a i ʻole Mosquitos. Aia ma mua o 3500 mau ʻano makika ma ka honua. Ma ʻEulopa, aia ma kahi o hoʻokahi haneli.
Inu ka makika wahine i ke koko. Ua like kona ʻano me ka ʻōpala lahilahi a kiko. Hoʻohana lākou e hou i ka ʻili o nā kānaka a me nā holoholona a omo i ke koko. ʻO ia ke kumu i kapa ai lākou iā ia he ihu. Pono nā wāhine i ke koko i hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohua. Inā ʻaʻole lākou omo koko, inu lākou i ka wai mea kanu ʻono. Inu wale ka makika kāne i ke kohu mea kanu a ʻaʻole omo koko. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike iā lākou ma ko lākou mau antennae ulu.
Hiki i ka makika ke pilikia?
Hiki i kekahi mau makika ke hoʻoili i nā pathogens me ko lākou nahu ʻana a ma laila e maʻi ai nā kānaka a me nā holoholona. ʻO kahi laʻana he maʻi malaria, he maʻi pāpū. Loaʻa iā ʻoe ke kuni kiʻekiʻe. Make pinepine na keiki mai ia mea.
ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ʻaʻole kēlā me kēia makika e hoʻouna i nā maʻi. Pono ka makika e nahu mua i ke kanaka ma'i. A laila, ʻoi aku ka nui o hoʻokahi pule no ka hele ʻana o ka makika i nā pathogens.
Eia kekahi, lawe ʻia kēlā mau maʻi e kekahi mau ʻano makika. I ka hihia o ka maʻi maʻi, ʻo nā makika malaria wale nō i loaʻa ʻole ma ʻEulopa. ʻAʻole hiki ke lawe ʻia nā maʻi ʻē aʻe e ka makika, e like me ka mumps, chickenpox, a i ʻole AIDS.
Pehea e hanau ai ka makika?
He liʻiliʻi loa nā hua makika a waiho ʻia ma ka ʻili o ka wai. Ma kekahi mau ʻano ʻano hoʻokahi, ma nā ʻano ʻē aʻe ma nā pūʻolo liʻiliʻi. ʻOkoʻa nā holoholona liʻiliʻi mai nā hua, ʻokoʻa loa ke ʻano o nā makika makua. Noho lākou i ka wai a maikaʻi i ka luʻu. Ua kapa ʻia lākou he ʻuala makika.
He nui nā namu namu e kau pinepine i ko lākou huelo ma lalo o ka ʻili o ka wai. He hakahaka kēia huelo a hanu lākou me he snorkel lā. Ma hope mai, hāʻule nā ʻōhua i loko o nā holoholona i ʻokoʻa ke ʻano o ka ʻōnohi a i ʻole ka makika makua. Kapa ʻia lākou he pupae namu. Noho lākou i ka wai. Hāpai lākou i ʻelua snails ma ka hope mua. ʻO nā holoholona makua mai ka pupae mai.
Hiki ke ʻike pinepine ʻia ka makika a me ka pupae i loko o nā pahu ua a i ʻole nā bākeke i loaʻa ka wai i loko o lākou no kekahi manawa. Inā ʻoe e nānā pono, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i nā "ʻeke hua manu". Ua like lākou me nā waʻa liʻiliʻi ʻeleʻele e lana ana ma luna o ka wai a no laila ua kapa ʻia lākou he waʻa makika. Aia i loko o ia clutch a hiki i 300 hua. Hoʻokahi a ʻekolu pule maʻamau e lilo ka hua i makika makua.
