Each year there are nearly 725 thousand deaths from viruses that are transmitted by mosquitoes.
These insects bites a man, and can infect it with viruses West Nile and zika and malaria, yellow fever, and dengue fever.
Science there are thousands of different species of mosquitoes, but to carry a dangerous disease may be a few of them. To find food, mosquitoes use special receptors located in their antennae, these receptors give insects the ability to distinguish odors.
The staff of the Rockefeller University in new York conducted a study which aimed at finding and developing methods designed to combat the mosquitoes that carry the infection. Scientists have sought to understand which genes affect blood lust. To do this, they under laboratory conditions have changed genetic properties of mosquitoes that had an impact on the behaviour of mosquitoes. This work began after the outbreak of zika virus in South America, but at the moment, the world did not come up with an effective method of dealing with this virus.
Experts recommend to do preventative treatment to prevent diseases of this disease.
