The key to malaria's rampant growth has been
explained by scientists. They say it is down to protein molecules called
cyclins which cause cells to divide rapidly in the malaria parasite. The study,
led by a team from the University of Nottingham, could lead to new treatments
for malaria, the researchers said. Malaria is responsible for nearly half a
million deaths a year. Nov.14 http://www.bbc.com/news/health-34808267
A new
understanding about the way the malaria parasite spreads that could hopefully lead to the elimination of this disease in the
future has taken place just two days after a New Moon [19sc] that was placed in the mundane 6th house of public health at
Nottingham. Notice that the New Moon is
one of the legs of a Yod with Jupiter and Uranus forming the other two legs. In
her essay “Jupiter/Uranus: Bright Ideas
and Breakthroughs,” [1] Kelly
Surtees writes:
When Jupiter and Uranus combine, anything is
possible. Jupiter brings an expansive, open energy which complements Uranus’
inventive tone. As a pair, they have, throughout history, been linked to
creative and scientific breakthroughs.
The
specific nature of the scientific breakthrough is hidden in the star beta Musca
[20sc] which is conjunct the New Moon[19sc]. About this constellation Anne Wright writes:
Musca domestica is the housefly, belonging
to the family Muscoidea, the order Diptera (di-, two + ptera, wing). The word
musca comes from the Indo-European root *mu- 'Gnat, fly, to buzz'. Derivatives:
midge (from Old English mycg, midge, from Germanic *mugjo). Suffixed extended
form *mus-ka-; mosquito (family Culicidae).
This
constellation should also represent the mosquito, a Spanish word, diminutive of
mosca, 'fly', from Latin musca. Mosquitos are of the family Culicidae, the
Latin word for mosquito (also called gnats) was culex:
“The gnat (culex) is named from 'sting'
(aculeus) because it sucks blood, for it has a tube in its mouth, like a
needle, with which it pierces the flesh so that it may drink the blood"
[The Etymologies of Isidore of Seville, 6th century A.D., p.270.]
Malaria ('bad air') comes from mosquitos,
was formerly called ague.
