There are several reasons why some people are more prone to mosquito bites than others. First of all, mosquito attraction is partly genetic. Some people have genes that make them more attractive to mosquitoes than...

Some people are mosquito magnets — they're more likely to get bitten by mosquitoes. Some things that make you more attractive to mosquitoes include your blood type, body temperature, and how much ammonia you give off in your sweat.

Even today, two million people die every year from malaria transmitted by mosquitoes, mainly in Africa. But even in the Upper Rhine valley, where malaria was still rampant only a century ago, people have to watch out – with globalization...

We are moving through phylum Arthropoda, and we have just one subphylum left to go, Hexapoda. This one is huge, containing all the insects in the world. What can we say about the general form and function of the hexapods?

This video discusses the issue of the Asian Tiger Mosquito, an invasive species that can transmit various diseases. American Biophysics Corporation has developed a technology called Lurex, which is an attractant that can effectively lure...

This video highlights the potential of artemisinin, a substance found in the Chinese Wormwood plant, to cure malaria. With millions of people dying from this disease each year, finding an affordable and effective solution is crucial....

This video highlights the devastating impact of malaria, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where millions of people, mostly young children, die each year. It introduces the innovative approach of using nuclear technology to combat...
