Malaria –
A. Current surveillance systems are inadequate in monitoring climate change data, necessary to prevent malaria outbreaks
Corvalán 3 (et al, C.F. -- World Health Organization – Climate Change and Human Health – Chapter 13 – “Conclusions and recommendations for action” http://www.who.int/globalchange/publications/climatechangechap13.pdf)
Climate change is likely to cause incremental changes in the frequency or distribution of diseases… long-term surveillance should encompass variables that may confound observed associations between climatic changes and disease incidence.
B. Malaria kills 3000 African children a day and is wildly transmittable, but is easily preventable – we must take action to stop this devastating crisis.
Judd 7 [April 24, Ashley, Special to CNN, board member of Population Services International, and a global ambassador for its Five & Alive initiative http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/africa/04/23/judd.commentary/index.html]
In the time it takes you to read this article, four African children will die from malaria. …. We could end this devastation today.
C. Malaria is the leading cause of mortality, dooms African economic development and investment, and causes African instability
The Monitor 7 (All Africa, http://allafrica.com/stories/200705080985.html)
malaria was only known as the leading killer disease in… When this mainstay of the economy suffers, the very fabric of the country is threatened.
Deutsch 2 (Jeffrey, PhD and political risk consultant and Founder, Rabid Tiger Project, 11/18, http://www.rabidtigers.com/rtn/newsletterv2n9.html)
a nuclear war is most likely to start in Africa… But an African nuclear strike can ignite a much broader conflagration
E. Disease surveillance will stop the spread of malaria by incorporating all factors of transmission, thereby reinvigorating economic development and preventing global spread
Rogers 2 [David J., University of Oxford, “Satellite imagery in the study and forecast of malaria,” Nature, Volume 415(6872), February, OVID]
Satellite sensor data promise the development of early-warning systems…, will require models that incorporate both intrinsic and extrinsic factors.
Solvency –
A. US expertise, disease surveillance tools, laboratory capacity, and communications channels can improve the ability to recognize and contain emerging threats
Blount 7 [Stephen B., MD, MPH, Director – Office for Global Health, 5/2, http://www.hhs.gov/asl/testify/2007/05/t20070502a.html]
the US and the rest of the world are facing a very real threat posed by the highly pathogenic H5N1… and communication channels so we can respond effectively.
B. US surveillance is best – only it can provide vital real-time data, and the only body prepared to monitor zoonotic diseases globally – no other country or international organization can solve, even WHO
Butler 6 (Declan, senior reporter at Nature; Nature magazine; http://www.nature.com.proxy2.cl.msu.edu:2047/nature/journal/v440/n7080/full/440006a.html)
The 122-city programme run by the US… the FAO and OIE do not have the funds for disease surveillance.
C. DRSICC’s in east, west, central, and southern Africa solve and are the best way to check a deadly pathogen in the US.
Fox 98 (C. WILLIAM, M.D., Commander of Bayne-Jones Army Hospital, Command Surgeon of the Joint
Readiness Training Center -- Parameters, Winter 1997-98, pp. 121-36. -- http://carlislewww.army.mil/usawc/parameters/97winter/fox.htm)
Disease Research, Surveillance, Isolation, and Containment Centers… prepared US forces will be deployed into the next African humanitarian disaster.
D. Disease surveillance is the antithesis of the biopolitical – it reinterprets the formation of the population, breaks down the status of sickness and the clinical gaze, and redeploys Foucaultian methods in order to recognize, not discipline, the unpredictable
Fearnley 5 (Anthropology of the Contemporary Research Collaboratory; From Chaos to Controlled Disorder, March 25,
http://anthropos lab.net/wp/publications/2007/01/fearn_chaos_to_disorder.pdf)
Put generally, disease surveillance informs about and intervenes in epidemics… only attempts to ensure its recognition.
E. [insert aid high now card – changes every week]
Heg Add-On Cites A. US involvement in disease surveillance in Africa establishes US leadership
Benatar and Fox 5 – Professor of Medicine and Bioethics @ University of Cape Town and Professor of Sociology and Bioethics @ University of Pennsylvania [Solomon R. Benatar and Renée C. Fox, “Meeting Threats to Global Health: A call for American leadership,” Perspectives in Biology and Medicine 48.3 (2005) 344-361//Project Muse]
America's best interests to go beyond merely expressing concern about global health. It should set the example… competence to understand these problems.
B. US leadership prevents global nuke war
Khalilzad 95 (Zalmay, [director of the Strategy and Doctrine Program @ RAND & former US Ambassador to Afghanistan] "Losing the Moment? The United States and the World After the Cold War," Washington Quarterly, Spring, p. proquest)
a world in which the United States… multipolar balance of power system.
