Scientists develop 3D model of mosquito flight paths

New Delhi: Researchers from MIT and Georgia Tech have determined that visual and chemical cues such as the silhouette of a person and the carbon dioxide they exhale, help guide the flight paths of the mosquitoes. The researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind three-dimensional model of mosquito flight, based on responses of flying mosquitoes to a variety of sensory cues. After identifying a potential target, the mosquitoes first execute a fl…

Why mosquitoes keep biting you new study explains reason?

Do mosquitoes constantly hover around you and keep biting you? Scientists have now discovered the reason behind this behaviour. A joint study by Georgia Tech and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States developed a model that predicts how mosquitoes fly toward a person to suck blood. This research sheds light on mosquito flight behaviour through images for the first time and explains how these insects spread deadly di…
