Why male mosquitoes leave humans alone
A side-by-side comparison of the fruitless gene in the female (left) and male (right) mosquito brain.
Male mosquitoes won’t bite you. For one thing, they cannot-males are hopelessly bad at finding humans and lack a specialized stylet to pierce your skin. But even if they could bite you, they would not want to. They refuse blood meals served to them in the lab through netting, even as their female counterparts engorge on what must appear to be a free lunch.
Now, a new study from the laboratory of Rockefeller’s Leslie Vosshall helps explain why. It appears that both mosquito sexes share the same neurons and brain structures needed to find humans, but that this hardware is hidden in the male mosquito brain, locked behind a simple genetic switch. Mutate the right gene, the researchers discovered, and male mosquitoes begin buzzing toward human scents in search of a prize that they do not even want.

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong s Health Secretary said on Friday that the government had not politicised any coronavirus vaccine, as she sought to reassure residents worried about China s Sinovac, due to be rolled out in the global financial hub from next week. Chan told Reuters that standards had not been lowered to accept the Sinovac vaccine and there was no pressure from Beijing to get it approved in the Chinese special administrative region. The government has not politicised any vaccine. In fact, we really think that one should not politicise any of the vaccination process, because really the COVID-19 vaccine is our hope, she said in an interview at her office in government headquarters.

Public Health is encouraging precautions so the county can continue moving toward Level Blue. Helen Robinson
Battling COVID-19 on many fronts has enabled El Paso County to move down a level on the stateâs dial framework.
The county, which had been at the Orange: High Risk level since November, moved to Yellow: Concern on Feb. 6. That allowed businesses to open up to more clients and customers.Â
Business compliance with safety guidelines has been key to the improvement, state and local officials said, and continued vigilance will help the countyâs disease metrics drop and lead to easing of restrictions.
