eradicate malaria with mosquitoes

in #nature7 years ago

who suspects the most dangerous and deadly animal in the world is the mosquito?, which in how many killed 2 to 3 million people around the world. He was able to spread several types of deadly diseases through his bites that carry parasites. Some of the deadly diseases that are spread by mosquitoes are Dengue Fever Dengue and Malaria. Other diseases that mosquitoes spread are Elephant Fangs, Yellow Pain, and West Nile Virus. The disease diseases are spread in tropical countries. However, due to climate change, mosquitoes are also capable of living and the spread of disease in the countries subtropical and polar temperaments such as England, New Zealand and Japan.

How ti solve it? There are several species of mosquito that can reduce. The species known as elephant mosquito.

Elephant mosquitoes (elephant mosquito) is the name of a mosquito that gets such a name as a result of its large size for mosquitoes. There are at least 17 species of elephant mosquitoes that have been identified & all belong to the genus Toxorhynchites.

Elephant mosquitoes outline have a life cycle similar to other mosquito species. They undergo a perfect metamorphosis consisting of egg phase, larva larvae, cocoon, & adult mosquito. Female mosquitoes lay their eggs floating on the surface of the water. Places used by mosquitoes to put their eggs are calmly watered waters, such as in puddles found in tree basins and used car tires.

Like adult mosquitoes are large, elephant mosquito larvae also have a large size. The last instar / growth phase of the larva can grow up to 2 cm in length.

The uniqueness of elephant mosquito larva has not reached there. In general, larvae live from eating plankton & small particles in the water. But the elephant mosquito larvae actually live from eating small water insects and other mosquito larvae. An elephant mosquito larva can eat at least 400 larvae before turning into a cocoon. If the waters where life is too narrow, it is not uncommon for the mosquito larvae to eat other smaller elephant mosquitoes.

If it has reached the 4th instar, the wiggler will turn into a cocoon. Because the elephant mosquito puppets are equipped with tails, the elephant mosquito puppets can swim towards deeper waters if they feel the vibrations nearby. The cocoon will then crawl on the surface of the water & bring an adult mosquito. Both male and female mosquitoes both never consume blood & live only from eating the nectar of flowers and honey dew. Male mosquitoes have thicker-thicker antennae to help them smell the pheromone substance released by the female mosquito.

Because the elephant mosquitoes never attack humans & these mosquito larvae have cannibal properties against other mosquito larvae, elephant mosquitoes began to be utilized as a natural insecticide to eradicate mosquitoes spread disease in a region. In the Subang area of ​​Malaysia, elephant mosquitoes were released since October 2011 to eradicate Aedes aegypti mosquito causes dengue fever. The result is quite positive because the area of ​​Subang which initially had exposed to outbreaks of dengue fever is never again affected by the outbreak until mid-2013.

The use of elephant mosquitoes to eradicate the mosquito that causes the disease itself is not without obstacles. The number of larvae produced by elephant mosquitoes is still less than the number of larvae produced by mosquitoes spread disease. As a result, elephant mosquitoes must be released in large quantities in the same area in order to optimally suppress the populations of disease-fighting mosquitoes. This in turn has an impact on the high costs required to breed and distribute elephant mosquitoes in order to become an effective natural mosquito repellent
