I remember when my business partner and I took a very special trip to Costa Rica for surfing and on day 2 he couldn’t leave his room due to some unknown tropical bug…
He missed the entire trip.
Yet had we known about this discovery the trip might have been very different.
The discovery opens the door to a mosquito-specific insecticide that would not harm beneficial bees or other pollinators. It would, however, affect mosquitoes like the ones used in the study, Aedes aegypti, which spread Zika, dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya and other viruses.
If you have had one of these you know how debilitating they are in the short term… yet there has been a discovery that could end the reason these diseases spread so well.
