5 | New York Governor Andrew Cuomo visited Cuba recently and, during his visit, signed an agreement that could change the lives of many Americans. | Nitsidika an'i Kiobà ny Governoran'i New York, Andrew Cuomo, vao haingana ary nandritra ny fitsidihany, nanao sonia fifanarahana mety hanova ny fiainan'ny Amerikana maro izy. |
6 | New York's Roswell Park Cancer Institute, in partnership with Cuba's Center for Molecular Immunology, will test out a much-needed lung cancer vaccine called Cimavax, developed in Cuba. | Hanandrana ny vakIsiny tena ilaina indrindra iadiana amin'ny homamiadan'ny havokavoaka antsoina hoe Cimavax, namboarina tao Kiobà ny Ivontoerana momba ny Homamiadana Roswell Park ao New York, izay miara-miasa amin'ny Foibe Kiobàna momba ny fiarovana amin'ny aretina. |
7 | Now that relations between US and Cuba are improving, the US wants to see if it can benefit from the vaccine. | Satria efa mihatsara ankehitriny ny fifandraisana eo amin'i Etazonia sy ny Kiobà, dia te-hahita i Etazonia raha afaka misitraka ny vakisiny izy. |
8 | “It's a therapeutic vaccine,” explains Neel V. | “Vakisiny fitsaboana izany“, hoy i Neel V. |
9 | Patel, an editorial fellow for Wired, who reported about the vaccine. | Patel, namana tonian-dahatsoratra ao amin'ny Wired, nanazava momba ilay vakisiny. |
10 | “Typically, we think of vaccines as something that will prevent a disease from happening. | “Amin'ny ankapobeny, mihevitra isika fa ny vakisiny dia hanakanana aretina tsy hitranga. |
11 | This works by just stimulating the immune system to respond better to the cancer and to attack the tumor in a more efficient way.” | Miasa izy ity amin'ny fanairana ny rafi-piarovana aoanaty hiady tsara kokoa amin'ny homamiadana ary hanafika ny fivontosana amin'ny fomba mahomby kokoa.” |
12 | Through the deal, researchers in the US will have access to documentation on clinical trials and toxicity reports, which can be used to draft an application to the FDA [Federal Drug Administration]. | Amin'ny alalan'ny fifanarahana, ho afaka mijery ireo antontan-taratasy momba ny fanandramana ara-pitsaboana sy ny valin'ny toxicité ireo mpikaroka ao Etazonia, izay azo ampiasaina hamolavolana ny fangatahana amin'ny FDA [Andripanjakana Federaly misahana ny Fanafody]. |
13 | If it's approved, Roswell can start a clinical trial. | Raha azo ny fankatoavana dia afaka manomboka ny andrana ara-pitsaboana ny Roswell. |
14 | It will take some time for the vaccine to become available in the US; it might even be ruled out all together. | Miandry fotoana elaela ny vakisiny vao ho vonona ao Etazonia; mety tsy ho tafavoaka mihitsy aza. |
15 | But even the prospect has left some wondering how Cuba was able to come up with the vaccine in the first place. | Na dia izany aza dia mampanontany tena ny fikarohana nahavitan'i Kiobà voalohany ny vakisiny. |
16 | Cuba has been under strict embargo for years and coming up with a vaccine for lung cancer would seem difficult. | Niharan'ny fahirano henjana nandritra ny taona maro i Kiobà ary toa sarotra ny mahavita mamorona vakisinin'ny homamiadan'ny havokavoka. |
17 | Patel put that question to Harvard Medical School's Paul Drain who has followed Cuba's medical and bio-tech research. | Nanontanian'i Patel tamin'i Paul Drain ao amin'ny Sekolim-Pitsaboana ao Harvard izay nanao fikarohana ara-pitsaboana sy bio-teknolojia tao Kiobà izany. |
18 | “He suspects that because Cuba has been closed in this kind of sand box, they have to work within the sand box,” Patel says. | “Miahiahy izy satria noho ny nanakatonana tao anaty karazana boaty fasika an'i Kiobà no tsy maintsy niasan'izy ireo tao anaty boaty fasika,” hoy i Patel. |
19 | In other words, sometimes limitations result in more creativity. | Amin'ny teny hafa, matetika miafara amin'ny fahaiza-mamoron-javatra bebe kokoa ny fameperana. |
20 | Cuban leaders Fidel and Raul Castro have always emphasized two things: education and health care. | Nampivoitra zavatra roa hatrany ireo mpitarika Kiobàna Fidel sy Raul Castro: ny fanabeazana sy ny fikarakarana ara-pahasalamana. |
21 | For example, he says, when the dengue virus hit Cuba in the 1980s, there was a major focus on vaccination. | Ohatra, nilaza izy fa raha namely an'i Kiobà tamin'ny taona 1980 ny otrik'aretina dengy, nisy ny fifantohana goavana tamin'ny vakisiny. |
22 | Cuba now has one of the highest vaccination rates - and has developed many of its own. | Iray amin'ireo manana taha ambony indrindra amin'ny fahavitana vakisiny i Kiobà ankehitriny - ary nanamboatra maro ho azy manokana. |
23 | As a science reporter, Patel wonders what other medical advances Cuba might have the US could benefit from. | Amin'ny maha-mpanao gazety momba ny siansa, manontany tena mikasika izay fandrosoana ara-pitsaboana hafa mety ananan'i Kiobà ka ahazoan'i Etazonia misitraka i Patel . |
24 | “That's one of the problems with what's been going on for the last few decades. | “Iray amin'ireo olana nitranga ampolotaonany vitsy izany. |
25 | None of us really know,” he says. | Tsy misy tena mahafantatra amintsika,” hoy izy. |
26 | But he's hopeful that better relations between Cuba and the US will bring about more medical and scientific exchanges that both countries could benefit from. | Saingy manantena izy fa hitondra fifanakalozana ara-pitsaboana sy ara-tsiansa bebe kokoa hahazoan'ny firenena roa tonta tombontsoa ny fifandraisana eo amin'i Kiobà sy Etazonia. |
