Nous pouvons utiliser l'instinct du moustique contre lui-même. A TEDxMaastricht Bart Knols nous montre les solutions ingénieuses que son équipe développe pour combattre le paludisme -- dont le fromage limburger et une pilule mortelle.

Bart Knols : Ruer les moustiques, mettre fin au paludisme

Mosquitoes track humans by scent, leading to a dangerous game that takes a child's life every 30 seconds from malaria. Unlikely allies—smelly cheese, highly trained dogs, and a simple pill—can outsmart mosquitoes and stop the spread of disease. Experiments show that Limburger cheese lures mosquitoes better than humans, while dogs can sniff out breeding sites and even infected people. A new tablet makes human blood deadly to mosquitoes, flipping the script in the fight against malaria.
