Researchers uncover previously unexplored details of #mosquito’s specialized detection mechanisms
Biologists use cutting-edge imaging technology to probe anatomical adaptations designed to target carbon dioxide emitted by humans
The researchers focused on these features in #AedesAegypti #mosquitoes, which are known to spread #yellowFever, #dengue, #chikungunya and #Zika viruses.
Researchers uncover previously unexplored details of mosquito’s specialized detection mechanisms
Researchers have captured unprecedented images of the mechanisms that allow mosquitoes, the world’s deadliest animal, to target our blood. The scientists used advanced imaging technology to assemble detailed visualizations of the neurons within hairs that mosquitoes use to detect us as blood hosts.
