Researchers at an American university have discovered the repellent role of light on certain mosquitoes.
We are not always aware of it, but mosquitoes are one of the most deadly animal species for humans. Their bites indeed contribute to the spread of many potentially fatal diseases such as dengue, chikungunya or the Zika virus. Each new way to fight against the nuisances caused by this insect is therefore excellent news.
A recent study carried out by a team of researchers from the University of California at Irvine, which is interested in the effect of certain lights on the biting insect could well revolutionize our knowledge about this animal and allow us to fight more effectively against its nuisances while respecting the environment more.
