Tri nova načina da ubijemo komarce

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.
