Why are some people #mosquito magnets? Clues are emerging
It's not a misconception -- mosquitoes are attracted to some people more than others," Frederic Simard of France's Institute of Research for Development told AFP. "But we are not all magnets all the time," the medical #entomologist added.
A range of sensory cues can cause #mosquitoes to pick one human over another—mainly the smell and heat our bodies give off, and the carbon dioxide we exhale.

🦟🧲 Scientists at #Rockefeller University found that high levels of carboxylic acids on the skin make certain individuals #mosquito magnets. The chemical signatures remain consistent over years regardless of changes in #diet or hygiene habits.

🦟🇮🇸 Researchers identified three #mosquitoes in West #Iceland which marks the first time these #insects have been found in the country.

The species Culiseta annulata is known to survive cold temperatures by overwintering in human-made structures. The finding leaves #Antarctica as the only remaining landmass without a #mosquito population and shows how rising temperatures affect animal #migration.

did you know that in 2014 i released several tons of mosquitos into antarctica? nowhere is safe. nowhere is safe. nowhere is safe. they are all ice proof btw. nowhere is safe. mars is next. nowhere is safe. nowhere is safe. nowhere is safe. first, the galaxy, then the universe, then everything! nowhere. is. safe.

I'm in northern Illinois. Early January. It's 49 degrees f outside with a light rain, about 68 degrees inside.

I just saw a live mosquito in our house. What the hell?

Researchers uncover previously unexplored details of #mosquito’s specialized detection mechanisms
Biologists use cutting-edge imaging technology to probe anatomical adaptations designed to target carbon dioxide emitted by humans

The researchers focused on these features in #AedesAegypti #mosquitoes, which are known to spread #yellowFever, #dengue, #chikungunya and #Zika viruses.
