Artificial lights could trick malaria-transmitting mosquito species that feed nocturnally into behaving as if it’s daytime.
The mosquitoes are also evolving increased resistance to insecticides.This situation underscores the need for sharpening the multiple vector control options, and exploring new strategies.My research explores one such potential strategy the use of artificial lights to trick malaria-transmitting mosquito species that feed nocturnally into behaving as if its daytime.
With light being a fundamental cue in nature as it controls the timing of biological events, researchers have taken an interest in finding out how artificial lighting can help alter behavior of Malaria causing Mosquitos and eventually lessening the spread of infections.
