The Malaria-Proof Mosquito and The Mosquito Laser
10 Interesting Inventions of 2010
Mosquito is one of the world's most deadliest insect that causes more than one million deaths worldwide. But for the first time, University of Arizona entomologists have succeeded in genetically altering mosquitoes in a way that renders them completely immune to the parasite called Plasmodium, the agent that causes malaria. Former Microsoft executive Nathan Myhrvold is developing a laser that can zap mosquitoes without harming other insects or humans. The laser targets the mosquito's size and signature wing beat and sends the bugs down in a burst of flame, making their deaths good for public health.
