Samo u jednoj godini širom sveta zabeleženo je 200-300 miliona slučajeva malarije i 50-100 miliona slučajeva denga groznice. Zašto još uvek nismo pronašli način da efikasno ubijemo komarce? Hadin Peri predstavlja fascinantno rešenje: genetsko modifikovanje mužjaka komaraca da bi ih učinili sterilnim i puštanje ovih insekata u divljinu, da bi presekli ovu vrstu koja prenosi bolesti.

So I'd like to start by focusing on
0
658
2736
Voleo bih da počnem fokusirajući se
00:19
the world's most dangerous animal.
1
3394
2536
na najopasniju životinju sveta.
00:21
Now, when you talk about dangerous animals,
2
5930
2160
Kada govorimo o opasnim životinjama,
00:23
most people might think of lions or tigers or sharks.
3
8090
3047
većina ljudi misli na lavove,
tigrove ili ajkule.
tigrove ili ajkule.
00:27
But of course the most dangerous animal
4
11137
1677
Ali naravno, najopasnija životinja
00:28
is the mosquito.
5
12814
1863
je komarac.
00:30
The mosquito has killed more humans
6
14677
2159
Komarci su ubili više ljudskih bića
00:32
than any other creature in human history.
7
16836
2989
nego bilo koje drugo stvorenje u istoriji čoveka.
00:35
In fact, probably adding them all together,
8
19825
1990
Zapravo, ako bi ih sve sabrali,
00:37
the mosquito has killed more humans.
9
21815
2186
komarci su verovatno ubili više ljudi.
00:39
And the mosquito has killed more humans than wars
10
24001
2659
Komarci su ubili više ljudi nego ratovi
00:42
and plague.
11
26660
1699
i kuga.
00:44
And you would think, would you not,
12
28359
2573
Pomislili biste, zar ne,
00:46
that with all our science, with all our advances in society,
13
30932
3947
da sa svom našom naukom,
svim naprecima u društvu,
svim naprecima u društvu,
00:50
with better towns, better civilizations, better sanitation,
14
34879
4896
sa boljim gradovima, boljom civilizacijom,
boljom kanalizacijom,
boljom kanalizacijom,
00:55
wealth, that we would get better at controlling mosquitos,
15
39791
3200
bogatstvom, da bismo postali bolji
u kontrolisanju komaraca
u kontrolisanju komaraca
00:58
and hence reduce this disease.
16
42991
2693
i stoga umanjili ovu bolest.
01:01
And that's not really the case.
17
45684
3342
Zapravo, to i nije slučaj.
01:04
If it was the case, we wouldn't have
18
49026
2120
Da je to slučaj, ne bismo imali
01:07
between 200 and 300 million cases of malaria every year,
19
51146
4587
između 200 i 300 miliona
slučajeva malarije godišnje,
slučajeva malarije godišnje,
01:11
and we wouldn't have
20
55733
1725
ne bismo imali
01:13
a million and a half deaths from malaria,
21
57458
3942
milion i po smrtnih slučajeva od malarije
01:17
and we wouldn't have a disease
22
61400
2700
i ne bismo imali bolest,
01:20
that was relatively unknown 50 years ago
23
64100
2536
koja je do pre 50 godina
bila relativno nepoznata,
bila relativno nepoznata,
01:22
now suddenly turned into
24
66636
2832
a koja se sada pretvorila
01:25
the largest mosquito-borne virus threat that we have,
25
69468
3232
u najveći virus nošen komarcima,
01:28
and that's called dengue fever.
26
72700
2693
nazivan denga groznica.
01:31
So 50 years ago, pretty much no one had heard of it,
27
75393
2731
Pre 50 godina skoro niko nije ni čuo za njega,
01:34
no one certainly in the European environment.
28
78124
2992
sigurno niko u evropskoj sredini.
01:37
But dengue fever now, according to the World Health Organization,
29
81116
3633
Ali, sudeći po Svetskoj zdravstvenoj organizaciji,
sada od denga groznice
sada od denga groznice
01:40
infects between 50 and 100 million people every year,
30
84749
3487
oboli između 50 i 100 miliona ljudi svake godine,
01:44
so that's equivalent to the whole of the population
31
88236
2336
što je isto kao da cela populacija
01:46
of the U.K. being infected every year.
32
90572
2928
Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva oboli svake godine.
01:49
Other estimates put that number at roughly double
33
93500
3112
Druge procene nam daju otprilike dupli broj
01:52
that number of infections.
34
96612
3958
infekcija.
01:56
And dengue fever has grown in speed quite phenomenally.
35
100570
4435
Denga groznica je drastično porasla.
02:00
In the last 50 years, the incidence of dengue
36
105005
3050
Tokom poslednjih 50 godina,
učestalost denga groznice
učestalost denga groznice
02:03
has grown thirtyfold.
37
108055
2218
je porasla 30 puta.
02:06
Now let me tell you a little bit about what dengue fever is,
38
110273
2503
Dozvolite mi da vam ispričam
više o tome šta je denga groznica,
više o tome šta je denga groznica,
02:08
for those who don't know.
39
112776
1588
za one koji ne znaju.
02:10
Now let's assume you go on holiday.
40
114364
2209
Pretpostavimo da odete na odmor.
02:12
Let's assume you go to the Caribbean,
41
116573
1762
Pretpostavimo da odlazite na Karibe,
02:14
or you might go to Mexico. You might go to Latin America,
42
118335
2393
ili u Meksiko.
Možete otići u Latinsku Ameriku,
Možete otići u Latinsku Ameriku,
02:16
Asia, Africa, anywhere in Saudi Arabia.
43
120728
3959
Aziju, Afriku, bilo gde u Saudijskoj Arabiji.
02:20
You might go to India, the Far East.
44
124687
1723
Možete otići u Indiju, Daleki istok.
02:22
It doesn't really matter. It's the same mosquito,
45
126410
2613
Zaista nije bitno.
To je isti komarac
To je isti komarac
02:24
and it's the same disease. You're at risk.
46
129023
2912
i to je ista bolest.
Vi ste izloženi riziku.
Vi ste izloženi riziku.
02:27
And let's assume you're bitten by a mosquito
47
131935
2676
Pretpostavimo da vas je ujeo komarac
02:30
that's carrying that virus.
48
134611
1561
koji nosi taj virus.
02:32
Well, you could develop flu-like symptoms.
49
136172
2995
Mogli biste da razvijete simptome nalik gripu.
02:35
They could be quite mild.
50
139167
1778
Mogli bi da budu zaista blagi.
02:36
You could develop nausea, headache,
51
140945
2101
Moglo bi da vam bude muka,
da imate glavobolju,
da imate glavobolju,
02:38
your muscles could feel like they're contracting,
52
143046
2439
osećali biste se kao da vam se mišići grče
02:41
and you could actually feel like your bones are breaking.
53
145485
4086
i zapravo biste mogli da osećate
kao da vam se kosti lome.
kao da vam se kosti lome.
02:45
And that's the nickname given to this disease.
54
149571
2224
Ovo je nadimak koji je dat ovoj bolesti.
02:47
It's called breakbone fever,
55
151795
1593
Zove se "groznica koja lomi kosti",
02:49
because that's how you can feel.
56
153388
2344
zato što se tako i osećate.
02:51
Now the odd thing is, is that once you've been bitten
57
155732
2937
Neobična stvar je ta što,
jednom kada vas je ujeo
jednom kada vas je ujeo
02:54
by this mosquito, and you've had this disease,
58
158669
2262
ovaj komarac i kada ste preležali bolest,
02:56
your body develops antibodies,
59
160931
2622
vaše telo razvija imuno tela,
02:59
so if you're bitten again with that strain,
60
163553
4414
tako da, ako ste opet ujedeni istim sojem,
03:03
it doesn't affect you.
61
167967
1716
on na vas ne utiče.
03:05
But it's not one virus, it's four,
62
169683
2920
Ali ne postoji jedan virus, već četiri,
03:08
and the same protection that gives you the antibodies
63
172603
2976
a ista zaštita koja vam daje imuno tela
03:11
and protects you from the same virus that you had before
64
175579
3312
i štiti od istog virusa koji ste imali ranije,
03:14
actually makes you much more susceptible to the other three.
65
178891
3066
zapravo vas čini podložnijim
ostalim trima virusima.
ostalim trima virusima.
03:17
So the next time you get dengue fever,
66
181957
2735
Sledeći put kada dobijete denga groznicu,
03:20
if it's a different strain, you're more susceptible,
67
184692
2640
ako je različiti sloj, vi ste podložniji,
03:23
you're likely to get worse symptoms,
68
187332
2631
izgledi su da ćete dobiti gore simptome
03:25
and you're more likely to get the more severe forms,
69
189963
2601
i verovatnije je da ćete razviti ozbiljnije oblike,
03:28
hemorrhagic fever or shock syndrome.
70
192564
3262
hemoragijsku groznicu ili šok sindrom.
03:31
So you don't want dengue once,
71
195826
1419
Dakle, ne želite da dobijete
denga groznicu jednom,
denga groznicu jednom,
03:33
and you certainly don't want it again.
72
197245
2741
a sigurno je ne želite više puta.
03:35
So why is it spreading so fast?
73
199986
3283
Pa zašto se onda širi tako brzo?
03:39
And the answer is this thing.
74
203269
2096
Odgovor je ova stvar.
03:41
This is Aedes aegypti.
75
205365
1774
Ovo je Aedes aegypti.
03:43
Now this is a mosquito that came, like its name suggests,
76
207139
3210
Ovo je komarac koji je došao,
kao što mu i ime upućuje,
kao što mu i ime upućuje,
03:46
out of North Africa, and it's spread round the world.
77
210349
3442
iz severne Afrike i raširio se celim svetom.
03:49
Now, in fact, a single mosquito will only travel
78
213791
3128
Jedan komarac može da preleti samo
03:52
about 200 yards in its entire life. They don't travel very far.
79
216919
3729
oko 180 metara tokom celog života.
Oni ne putuju jako daleko.
Oni ne putuju jako daleko.
03:56
What they're very good at doing is hitchhiking,
80
220648
2385
Ono u čemu su dobri je stopiranje,
03:58
particularly the eggs.
81
223033
1410
naročito njihovih jaja.
04:00
They will lay their eggs in clear water, any pool, any puddle,
82
224443
4697
Oni će svoja jaja položiti u čistoj vodi,
bilo kom jezeru, bari,
bilo kom jezeru, bari,
04:05
any birdbath, any flower pot,
83
229140
1950
kupalištu za ptice ili saksiji,
04:06
anywhere there's clear water, they'll lay their eggs,
84
231090
2740
bilo gde, gde ima čiste vode
oni će položiti svoja jaja
oni će položiti svoja jaja
04:09
and if that clear water is near freight, it's near a port,
85
233830
3622
i ako je ta bistra voda blizu teretne stanice,
blizu luke,
blizu luke,
04:13
if it's anywhere near transport,
86
237452
2649
ako je negde blizu neke stanice,
04:16
those eggs will then get transported around the world.
87
240101
3184
ta jaja će biti prenesena širom sveta.
04:19
And that's what's happened. Mankind has transported
88
243285
2423
To se i desilo.
Čovečanstvo je transportovalo
Čovečanstvo je transportovalo
04:21
these eggs all the way around the world,
89
245708
2006
ova jaja širom sveta,
04:23
and these insects have infested over 100 countries,
90
247714
3698
ovi insekti su inficirali preko 100 zemalja
04:27
and there's now 2.5 billion people living in countries
91
251412
2698
i sada imamo 2,5 milijarde ljudi
koji žive u zemljama
koji žive u zemljama
04:30
where this mosquito resides.
92
254110
2992
gde borave komarci.
04:33
To give you just a couple of examples
93
257102
1584
Da bih vam dao par primera
04:34
how fast this has happened,
94
258686
2516
kako se brzo ovo odigralo,
04:37
in the mid-'70s, Brazil declared, "We have no Aedes aegypti,"
95
261202
5516
tokom 1970-tih, Brazil je objavio:
"Mi nemamo Aedes aegypti",
"Mi nemamo Aedes aegypti",
04:42
and currently they spend about a billion dollars now
96
266718
2350
a sada troše oko milijardu dolara
04:44
a year trying to get rid of it, trying to control it,
97
269068
2800
godišnje, pokušavajući da ih se otarase
i da ih kontrolišu,
i da ih kontrolišu,
04:47
just one species of mosquito.
98
271868
5101
samo jednu vrstu komarca.
04:52
Two days ago, or yesterday, I can't remember which,
99
276969
3543
Pre dva dana ili juče,
ne mogu da se setim,
ne mogu da se setim,
04:56
I saw a Reuters report that said
100
280512
1964
video sam jedan izveštaj Rojtersa koji kaže
04:58
Madeira had had their first cases of dengue,
101
282476
2634
da je Madeira iskusila
prve slučajeve denga groznice,
prve slučajeve denga groznice,
05:01
about 52 cases, with about 400 probable cases.
102
285110
3820
oko 52 slučaja, sa 400 mogućih slučaja.
05:04
That's two days ago.
103
288930
1814
To je bilo pre dva dana.
05:06
Interestingly, Madeira first got the insect in 2005,
104
290744
5181
Interesantno je da je Madeira
ove insekte dobila 2005.
ove insekte dobila 2005.
05:11
and here we are, a few years later,
105
295925
2057
i evo nas, nekoliko godina kasnije,
05:13
first cases of dengue.
106
297982
1327
prvi slučajevi denge.
05:15
So the one thing you'll find is that where the mosquito goes,
107
299309
3359
Jedna stvar koju možete da zapazite
je da gde god da se pojave komarci,
je da gde god da se pojave komarci,
05:18
dengue will follow.
108
302668
2314
denga prati.
05:20
Once you've got the mosquito in your area,
109
304982
2191
Jednom kada su komarci u vašoj oblasti,
05:23
anyone coming into that area with dengue,
110
307173
2369
bilo ko, ko sa dengom dođe u tu oblast,
05:25
mosquito will bite them, mosquito will bite somewhere else,
111
309542
2943
komarac ga ugrize,
zatim ugrize nekoga negde drugo,
zatim ugrize nekoga negde drugo,
05:28
somewhere else, somewhere else,
112
312485
964
pa negde drugo, negde drugo
05:29
and you'll get an epidemic.
113
313449
4115
i dobijate epidemiju.
05:33
So we must be good at killing mosquitos.
114
317564
1908
Dakle, moramo biti dobri
u ubijanju komaraca.
u ubijanju komaraca.
05:35
I mean, that can't be very difficult.
115
319472
1897
To ne bi trebalo da bude veoma teško.
05:37
Well, there's two principle ways.
116
321369
2820
Postoje dva glavna načina.
05:40
The first way is that you use larvicides.
117
324189
3372
Prvi način je upotreba larvacida.
05:43
You use chemicals. You put them into water where they breed.
118
327561
2812
Upotrebljavate hemikalije.
Stavite ih u vodu gde se razmnožavaju.
Stavite ih u vodu gde se razmnožavaju.
05:46
Now in an urban environment, that's extraordinarily difficult.
119
330373
2800
U urbanim sredinama je to jako teško.
05:49
You've got to get your chemical into every puddle,
120
333173
2185
Hemikalije morate da stavite u svaku baru,
05:51
every birdbath, every tree trunk.
121
335358
2248
svako kupalište za ptice,
svako stablo drveta.
svako stablo drveta.
05:53
It's just not practical.
122
337606
3042
Jednostavno, nije praktično.
05:56
The second way you can do it
123
340648
1516
Drugi način na koji to možete uraditi
05:58
is actually trying to kill the insects as they fly around.
124
342164
3314
jeste da zapravo pokušate
da ubijete insekte dok lete okolo.
da ubijete insekte dok lete okolo.
06:01
This is a picture of fogging.
125
345478
2226
Ovo je fotografija magljenja.
06:03
Here what someone is doing
126
347704
2445
Ono što ovde neko radi
06:06
is mixing up chemical in a smoke
127
350149
2914
je mešanje hemikalije u dim
06:08
and basically spreading that through the environment.
128
353063
3014
a onda je, u osnovi, širi kroz sredinu.
06:11
You could do the same with a space spray.
129
356077
2960
Isto bi mogli da uradite i sprejevima.
06:14
This is really unpleasant stuff,
130
359037
1568
Ovo je neprijatna stvar
06:16
and if it was any good, we wouldn't have this massive increase
131
360605
2402
i da je imalo dobra,
ne bismo imali ova velika povećanja
ne bismo imali ova velika povećanja
06:18
in mosquitos and we wouldn't have this massive increase in dengue fever.
132
363007
4656
broja komaraca i ne bismo imali ovo veliko
povećanje denga groznice.
povećanje denga groznice.
06:23
So it's not very effective, but it's probably
133
367663
2089
Nije mnogo efikasna, ali je verovatno
06:25
the best thing we've got at the moment.
134
369752
2895
najbolja stvar kojom trenutno raspolažemo.
06:28
Having said that, actually, your best form of protection
135
372647
2152
Pošto smo to rekli, vaša najbolja forma zaštite
06:30
and my best form of protection is a long-sleeve shirt
136
374799
2385
i moja najbolja forma zaštite
je košulja dugih rukava
je košulja dugih rukava
06:33
and a little bit of DEET to go with it.
137
377184
3424
i uz nju, malo DEET-a (repelent insekata).
06:36
So let's start again. Let's design a product,
138
380608
3689
Počnimo ispočetka.
Dizajniramo proizvod
Dizajniramo proizvod
06:40
right from the word go, and decide what we want.
139
384297
3276
od samog početka i odlučimo šta želimo.
06:43
Well we clearly need something that is effective
140
387573
2595
Očigledno je da nam je neophodno
nešto što je efikasno
nešto što je efikasno
06:46
at reducing the mosquito population.
141
390168
2308
u smanjivanju populacije komaraca.
06:48
There's no point in just killing the odd mosquito here and there.
142
392476
2432
Nema smisla u ubijanju
ponekog komarca tu i tamo.
ponekog komarca tu i tamo.
06:50
We want something that gets that population right the way down
143
394908
3092
Želimo nešto što će populaciju odmah smanjiti
06:53
so it can't get the disease transmission.
144
398000
3016
tako da ne može doći do prenosa bolesti.
06:56
Clearly the product you've got has got to be safe to humans.
145
401016
3304
Jasno je da proizvod koji koristite
mora da bude bezbedan za ljude.
mora da bude bezbedan za ljude.
07:00
We are going to use it in and around humans.
146
404320
2176
Koristićemo ga u ljudima i oko ljudi.
07:02
It has to be safe.
147
406496
1563
Mora da bude bezbedan.
07:03
We don't want to have a lasting impact on the environment.
148
408059
2230
Ne želimo da ima trajan uticaj
na životnu sredinu.
na životnu sredinu.
07:06
We don't want to do anything that you can't undo.
149
410289
3234
Ne želimo da učini nešto
što ne možemo opovrgnuti.
što ne možemo opovrgnuti.
07:09
Maybe a better product comes along in 20, 30 years.
150
413523
5093
Možda naiđe bolji proizvod za 20, 30 godina.
07:14
Fine. We don't want a lasting environmental impact.
151
418616
2874
Dobro. Ne želimo trajan uticaj na životnu sredinu.
07:17
We want something that's relatively cheap, or cost-effective,
152
421490
3272
Želimo nešto što je jeftino ili isplativo,
07:20
because there's an awful lot of countries involved,
153
424762
1953
zato što je jako mnogo zemalja uključeno,
07:22
and some of them are emerging markets,
154
426715
2006
neke od njih su tržišta u razvoju,
07:24
some of them emerging countries, low-income.
155
428721
3562
neke od njih su zemlje u razvoju
sa niskim primanjima.
sa niskim primanjima.
07:28
And finally, you want something that's species-specific.
156
432283
2375
Konačno, želite nešto što je specifično za vrstu.
07:30
You want to get rid of this mosquito that spreads dengue,
157
434658
2788
Želite da se rešite komaraca
koji prenose dengu,
koji prenose dengu,
07:33
but you don't really want to get all the other insects.
158
437446
2988
ali ne želite da utičete
na sve druge insekte.
na sve druge insekte.
07:36
Some are quite beneficial. Some are important to your ecosystem.
159
440434
3216
Neki su jako korisni.
Neki su značajni za vaš ekosistem.
Neki su značajni za vaš ekosistem.
07:39
This one's not. It's invaded you.
160
443650
1838
Ovaj nije. Izvršio je invaziju na vas.
07:41
But you don't want to get all of the insects.
161
445488
2682
Ne želite da utičete na sve insekte.
07:44
You just want to get this one.
162
448170
1659
Samo želite da utičete na ovog.
07:45
And most of the time, you'll find this insect
163
449829
2859
Većinu puta, naći ćete ovog insekta
07:48
lives in and around your home,
164
452688
1435
kako živi u i oko vaše kuće.
07:50
so this -- whatever we do has got to get to that insect.
165
454123
3924
Tako da, šta god da radimo
mora da utiče na tog insekta.
mora da utiče na tog insekta.
07:53
It's got to get into people's houses, into the bedrooms,
166
458047
2383
Mora da prodre u kuće ljudi,
u spavaće sobe,
u spavaće sobe,
07:56
into the kitchens.
167
460430
1794
u kuhinje.
07:58
Now there are two features of mosquito biology
168
462224
3645
Postoje dve osobine u biologiji komaraca
08:01
that really help us in this project,
169
465869
1900
koje nam puno pomažu u ovom projektu,
08:03
and that is, firstly, males don't bite.
170
467769
3872
a to je da, prvo, mužjaci ne grizu.
08:07
It's only the female mosquito that will actually bite you.
171
471641
3109
Ženke su one koje vas zapravo grizu.
08:10
The male can't bite you, won't bite you,
172
474750
2401
Mužjak vas ne može ugristi, ne želi ugristi,
08:13
doesn't have the mouth parts to bite you.
173
477151
2303
nema delove usta kojima bi vas ugrizao.
08:15
It's just the female.
174
479454
1659
To je samo ženka.
08:17
And the second is a phenomenon
175
481113
1973
Drugi je taj fenomen
08:18
that males are very, very good at finding females.
176
483086
4216
da su mužjaci jako, jako dobri
u nalaženju ženki.
u nalaženju ženki.
08:23
If there's a male mosquito that you release,
177
487302
2648
Ako oslobodite mužjaka komarca,
08:25
and if there's a female around, that male will find the female.
178
489950
4843
a negde u blizini je ženka,
mužjak će je pronaći.
mužjak će je pronaći.
08:30
So basically, we've used those two factors.
179
494793
3818
U osnovi, koristili smo ova dva faktora.
08:34
So here's a typical situation,
180
498611
1668
Evo tipične situacije,
08:36
male meets female, lots of offspring.
181
500279
2568
mužjak susreće ženku,
ima mnoštvo potomaka.
ima mnoštvo potomaka.
08:38
A single female will lay about
182
502847
1729
Jedna ženka će izleći
08:40
up to 100 eggs at a time,
183
504576
1795
do 100 jaja odjednom,
08:42
up to about 500 in her lifetime.
184
506371
2484
a oko 500 tokom svog života.
08:44
Now if that male is carrying a gene
185
508855
3021
Ako mužjak nosi gen
08:47
which causes the death of the offspring,
186
511876
2618
koji uzrokuje smrt potomaka,
08:50
then the offspring don't survive,
187
514494
2681
onda potomci neće preživeti
08:53
and instead of having 500 mosquitos running around,
188
517175
3431
i umesto 500 potomaka okolo,
08:56
you have none.
189
520606
2621
nemate nijednog.
08:59
And if you can put more, I'll call them sterile,
190
523227
3119
Ako možete da ih stavite više,
nazvaću ih sterilnim,
nazvaću ih sterilnim,
09:02
that the offspring will actually die at different stages,
191
526346
2873
onda će potomci zapravo umirati
u različitim fazama života,
u različitim fazama života,
09:05
but I'll call them sterile for now.
192
529219
1589
ali za sada ću ih nazivati sterilnima.
09:06
If you put more sterile males out into the environment,
193
530808
3556
Ako u životnu sredinu oslobodite
više sterilnih mužjaka,
više sterilnih mužjaka,
09:10
then the females are more likely to find a sterile male
194
534364
3288
onda su izgledi da ženka naiđe
na sterilnog mužjaka veći
na sterilnog mužjaka veći
09:13
than a fertile one, and you will bring that population down.
195
537652
5839
nego da naiđe na plodnog
i vi ćete oboriti brojnost te populacije.
i vi ćete oboriti brojnost te populacije.
09:19
So the males will go out, they'll look for females,
196
543491
2395
Znači, mužjaci će izaći, tragaće za ženkama,
09:21
they'll mate. If they mate successfully, then no offspring.
197
545886
3824
pariće se. Ako je parenje uspešno,
onda nema potomaka.
onda nema potomaka.
09:25
If they don't find a female, then they'll die anyway.
198
549710
3003
Ako ne nađu ženku,
onda će svejedno umreti.
onda će svejedno umreti.
09:28
They only live a few days.
199
552713
3734
Oni žive samo nekoliko dana.
09:32
And that's exactly where we are.
200
556447
2234
Mi smo upravo tu.
09:34
So this is technology that was developed
201
558681
1630
Ovo je tehnologija razvijena
09:36
in Oxford University a few years ago.
202
560311
2552
na Oksford Univerzitetu
pre nekoliko godina.
pre nekoliko godina.
09:38
The company itself, Oxitec, we've been working
203
562863
2421
Sama kompanija, Oxitec,
je zadnjih 10 godina
je zadnjih 10 godina
09:41
for the last 10 years, very much on a sort of similar
204
565284
2549
radila na stazi razvoja
09:43
development pathway that you'd get with a pharmaceutical company.
205
567833
3442
koja mnogo nalikuje onoj koju srećemo
kod farmaceutskih kompanija.
kod farmaceutskih kompanija.
09:47
So about 10 years of internal evaluation, testing,
206
571275
4110
Dakle, 10 godina procena i testiranja
09:51
to get this to a state where we think it's actually ready.
207
575385
3392
da bi ovo doveli do stanja,
gde mislimo da je zapravo spremno.
gde mislimo da je zapravo spremno.
09:54
And then we've gone out into the big outdoors,
208
578777
2487
Zatim smo u otišli u veliki svet,
09:57
always with local community consent,
209
581264
1601
uvek uz odobrenje lokalnih zajednica,
09:58
always with the necessary permits.
210
582865
2185
uvek uz neophodne dozvole.
10:00
So we've done field trials now in the Cayman Islands,
211
585050
3063
Uradili smo testiranja na terenu
na Kajmanskim ostrvima,
na Kajmanskim ostrvima,
10:04
a small one in Malaysia,
212
588113
1546
jedno manje u Maleziji
10:05
and two more now in Brazil.
213
589659
4335
i još dva u Brazilu.
10:09
And what's the result?
214
593994
1733
I kakvi su rezultati?
10:11
Well, the result has been very good.
215
595727
3308
Rezultati su bili veoma dobri.
10:14
In about four months of release,
216
599035
2824
Tokom otprilike četiri meseca od oslobađanja
10:17
we've brought that population of mosquitos
217
601859
2296
doveli smo populaciju komaraca
10:20
— in most cases we're dealing with villages here
218
604155
2543
- u većini slučajeva se ovde radi o selima
10:22
of about 2,000, 3,000 people, that sort of size,
219
606698
3272
od po 2.000, 3.000 stanovnika,
otprilike te veličine,
otprilike te veličine,
10:25
starting small —
220
609970
1438
počinjemo od malog -
10:27
we've taken that mosquito population down
221
611408
2191
smanjili smo tu populaciju komaraca
10:29
by about 85 percent in about four months.
222
613599
3224
za oko 85 procenata za oko 4 meseca.
10:32
And in fact, the numbers after that get,
223
616823
1999
Zapravo, brojevi nakon toga
10:34
those get very difficult to count, because there just aren't any left.
224
618822
3740
postaju jako teški za brojanje,
zato što ih jednostavno više nema.
zato što ih jednostavno više nema.
10:38
So that's been what we've seen in Cayman,
225
622562
1656
To je bilo ono što smo videli
na Kajmanskim ostrvima,
na Kajmanskim ostrvima,
10:40
it's been what we've seen in Brazil
226
624218
3262
to smo videli u Brazilu
10:43
in those trials.
227
627480
1986
tokom tih proba.
10:45
And now what we're doing is we're going through a process
228
629466
2312
Ono što sada radimo
je da prolazimo kroz proces
je da prolazimo kroz proces
10:47
to scale up to a town of about 50,000,
229
631778
2833
proporcionalnog povećavanja na grad
od otprilike 50.000 stanovnika,
od otprilike 50.000 stanovnika,
10:50
so we can see this work at big scale.
230
634611
2373
kako bismo videli kako ovo radi
u velikoj razmeri.
u velikoj razmeri.
10:52
And we've got a production unit in Oxford,
231
636984
2787
U Oksfordu imamo proizvodnu jedinicu
10:55
or just south of Oxford, where we actually produce these mosquitos.
232
639771
3491
ili samo malo južnije od Oksforda,
gde zapravo proizvodimo ove komarce.
gde zapravo proizvodimo ove komarce.
10:59
We can produce them,
233
643262
1204
Možemo ih proizvesti,
11:00
in a space a bit more than this red carpet,
234
644466
2156
u prostoru tek nešto većem
od ovog crvenog tepiha,
od ovog crvenog tepiha,
11:02
I can produce about 20 million a week.
235
646622
2524
mogu ih proizvesti
i do 20 miliona nedeljno.
i do 20 miliona nedeljno.
11:05
We can transport them around the world.
236
649146
2166
Možemo ih prenositi širom sveta.
11:07
It's not very expensive, because it's a coffee cup --
237
651312
3022
Nije mnogo skupo,
zato što je to samo šoljica za kafu -
zato što je to samo šoljica za kafu -
11:10
something the size of a coffee cup
238
654334
1289
slično veličini šoljice za kafu
11:11
will hold about three million eggs.
239
655623
3327
što može da nosi oko 3 miliona jaja.
11:14
So freight costs aren't our biggest problem. (Laughter)
240
658950
3818
Dakle, troškovi prevoza nisu naš najveći problem.
(Smeh)
(Smeh)
11:18
So we've got that. You could call it a mosquito factory.
241
662768
3304
To je ono što imamo.
Možete to nazvati fabrikom komaraca.
Možete to nazvati fabrikom komaraca.
11:21
And for Brazil, where we've been doing some trials,
242
666072
3096
Što se tiče Brazila,
gde smo radili neka ispitivanja,
gde smo radili neka ispitivanja,
11:25
the Brazilian government themselves have now built
243
669168
1888
sama vlada Brazila je napravila
11:26
their own mosquito factory, far bigger than ours,
244
671056
2432
njihovu sopstvenu fabriku komaraca,
mnogo veću nego što je naša
mnogo veću nego što je naša
11:29
and we'll use that for scaling up in Brazil.
245
673488
5475
što ćemo iskoristiti za rast u Brazilu.
11:34
There you are. We've sent mosquito eggs.
246
678963
2373
To je to. Poslali smo jaja komaraca.
11:37
We've separated the males from the females.
247
681336
2632
Razdvojili smo mužjake od ženki.
11:39
The males have been put in little pots
248
683968
3650
Mužjaci su stavljeni u male posude,
11:43
and the truck is going down the road
249
687618
2084
kamion se kreće duž puta
11:45
and they are releasing males as they go.
250
689702
2964
i kako se kreće, oslobađa komarce.
11:48
It's actually a little bit more precise than that.
251
692666
1650
Zapravo je malo preciznije.
11:50
You want to release them so that
252
694316
1481
Želite da ih oslobodite tako da
11:51
you get good coverage of your area.
253
695797
2081
dobijete dobru pokrivenost u vašoj oblasti.
11:53
So you take a Google Map, you divide it up,
254
697878
2791
Uzmete Google mapu, podelite je,
11:56
work out how far they can fly,
255
700669
1884
procenite koliko daleko mogu da odlete
11:58
and make sure you're releasing such that you get
256
702553
1975
i osigurate da ih oslobađate tako da dobijete
12:00
coverage of the area, and then you go back,
257
704528
2898
pokrivenost te oblasti,
a onda se vratite nazad
a onda se vratite nazad
12:03
and within a very short space of time,
258
707426
1774
i za jako malo vremena,
12:05
you're bringing that population right the way down.
259
709200
3576
obarate broj te populacije.
12:08
We've also done this in agriculture.
260
712776
2432
Ovo smo takođe radili u poljoprivredi.
12:11
We've got several different species of agriculture coming along,
261
715208
4072
Imamo nekoliko različitih vrsta
poljoprivrede koje napreduju
poljoprivrede koje napreduju
12:15
and I'm hoping that soon
262
719280
1908
i nadam se da ćemo uskoro
12:17
we'll be able to get some funding together so we can get back
263
721188
2796
moći da dobijemo sredstva,
tako da možemo da se vratimo
tako da možemo da se vratimo
12:19
and start looking at malaria.
264
723984
3082
i posvetimo se malariji.
12:22
So that's where we stand at the moment,
265
727066
2049
Dakle, tu smo u ovom momentu
12:25
and I've just got a few final thoughts,
266
729115
2529
i imam samo još par misli,
12:27
which is that this is another way in which biology
267
731644
3444
a to je da je ovo drugi način
na koji biologija
na koji biologija
12:30
is now coming in to supplement chemistry
268
735088
3989
sada dolazi da dopuni hemiju
12:34
in some of our societal advances in this area,
269
739077
3743
u nekim od naših društvenih napredaka
u ovoj oblasti,
u ovoj oblasti,
12:38
and these biological approaches are coming in
270
742820
2288
a ovi biološki pristupi dolaze
12:41
in very different forms,
271
745108
2401
u različitim oblicima
12:43
and when you think about genetic engineering,
272
747509
2322
i kada pomislite na genetski inženjering,
12:45
we've now got enzymes for industrial processing,
273
749831
3006
sada imamo enzime
za industrijsko prerađivanje,
za industrijsko prerađivanje,
12:48
enzymes, genetically engineered enzymes in food.
274
752837
2934
genetski projektovane enzime u hrani.
12:51
We have G.M. crops, we have pharmaceuticals,
275
755771
2802
Imamo genetski modifikovane useve, lekove,
12:54
we have new vaccines,
276
758573
1316
imamo nove vakcine,
12:55
all using roughly the same technology, but with very different outcomes.
277
759889
4084
svi koriste skoro istu tehnologiju,
ali sa različitim rezultatima.
ali sa različitim rezultatima.
12:59
And I'm in favor, actually. Of course I am.
278
763973
3513
I ja sam za, zapravo.
Naravno da jesam.
Naravno da jesam.
13:03
I'm in favor of particularly where the older technologies
279
767486
2896
Naročito sam za
na područjima gde starije tehnologije
na područjima gde starije tehnologije
13:06
don't work well or have become unacceptable.
280
770382
3072
ne rade kako treba
ili su postale neprihvatljive.
ili su postale neprihvatljive.
13:09
And although the techniques are similar,
281
773454
3357
I iako su tehnologije slične,
13:12
the outcomes are very, very different,
282
776811
1541
rezultati su jako, jako različiti
13:14
and if you take our approach, for example,
283
778352
1514
i ako uzmete naš pristup na primer
13:15
and you compare it to, say, G.M. crops,
284
779866
2425
i uporedite ga sa, recimo,
genetski modifikovanim usevima,
genetski modifikovanim usevima,
13:18
both techniques are trying to produce a massive benefit.
285
782291
4292
obe tehnologije pokušavaju
da proizvedu ogromnu korist.
da proizvedu ogromnu korist.
13:22
Both have a side benefit,
286
786583
2143
Obe imaju i dodatnu korist,
13:24
which is that we reduce pesticide use tremendously.
287
788726
3709
a to je da jako smanjuju
upotrebu pesticida.
upotrebu pesticida.
13:28
But whereas a G.M. crop is trying to protect the plant,
288
792435
3961
Međutim, dok genetski modifikovani usevi
pokušavaju da zaštite biljku,
pokušavaju da zaštite biljku,
13:32
for example, and give it an advantage,
289
796396
2744
tako što joj, na primer,
daju neku prednost,
daju neku prednost,
13:35
what we're actually doing is taking the mosquito
290
799140
3095
ono što mi radimo je da uzimamo komarca
13:38
and giving it the biggest disadvantage it can possibly have,
291
802235
4089
i dajemo mu najveći hendikep
koji može da ima,
koji može da ima,
13:42
rendering it unable to reproduce effectively.
292
806324
2984
čime ga činimo nesposobnim
da se efikasno razmnožava.
da se efikasno razmnožava.
13:45
So for the mosquito, it's a dead end.
293
809308
3600
Za komarca, to je ćorsokak.
13:48
Thank you very much. (Applause)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Hadyn Parry - Biotechnology entrepreneurBiotech entrepreneur Hadyn Parry leads a science start-up that develops GM insects to fight dengue fever.
Why you should listen
"We have reached a moment of truth," says biotech entrepreneur Hadyn Parry. He believes it's a pivotal time for the science industry and it's the moment for the public to wake up and rethink its position on GM technologies and trials. Parry, who is the CEO of Oxitec, a biotech company devoted to innovative insect control, believes the debate over GM crops and animals has become too political, and people are not stopping to evaluate the technologies' true promises and efficacies. In his eyes, GM can be used responsibly for important goals, like the control of extremely harmful diseases like dengue fever.
