Dr Perran Stott-Ross has been involved in mosquito research at the University of Melbourne for many years.
Now, he is trying to find an effective way to curb the spread of the dengue virus, which is spread between people through mosquitoes.
One of the most promising strategies is to infect mosquitoes with Wolbachia, a bacteria that naturally blocks the transmission of dengue fever and is passed down from generation to generation.
But to continue this research, Dr. Stott-Ross has to monitor the thousands of blood-sucking insects, and as part of that monitoring, he offers his own arm to feed the mosquitoes.
