Adventurous scientists reveal a portable self-cooling backpack for transporting live mosquitoes in field research. Want to see some interesting entomology? talk to these mosquito movers :) ~ This interesting paper by my friends from Tanzania presents a specially designed backpack

Yes, malaria mosquitoes also bite in daylight, and bed nets may not be enough for disease prevention ~ New study shows some 15% of biting by the main malaria mosquitoes in Tanzania happen during the day indoors and outdoors; a significant protection gap in current
