B: And who can blame them really? Who can blame them for making that, hmm, false connection? Who'd have thought that a tiny insect, like a mosquito, could cause so much sickness?
A: Mmm, Yes. More surprising perhaps is the fact that it's taken scientists so much time since then to come up with a cure.
B: Ahah. Well that's what we're going to talk about now. Because it does seem that this is now becoming a real possibility.
