Mosquito

In order to gauge the risk of mosquito-borne diseases, authorities typically monitor the numbers of specific mosquito types that are known to carry those illnesses. A new system makes it possible to do so remotely, and thus more effectively.

It's definitely annoying when you're trying to swat a mosquito that's flying around a room, but you lose track of where it is. Bzigo is designed to help, as it optically-tracks mozzies and then highlights them with an eye-safe laser.

Scientists are getting good results at repelling mosquitoes using graphene.

​While we've seen a number of devices that use ultrasound to ward off mosquitos, many people maintain that such deterrent systems just don't work. The Nopixgo Mosquito Bite Protection Wristband takes a different approach, emitting electromagnetic waves instead.

Thermacell Repellents, Inc. is all about keeping probing mosquitoes away in a simple, push-button way. It's latest product, the Radius Zone Mosquito Repellent, trades butane power for rechargeable lithium-ion power.

Malaria-carrying mosquitos can develop a tolerance for insecticides, plus there are environmental factors to consider. Now, solar-powered traps are showing great promise, in a pilot project that took place in Kenya.​

While getting a dedicated bug-zapping light could help keep mosquitoes at bay, not everyone wants to bother buying such a device. Well, that's why the ZappLight was created. It's an LED light bulb that goes into a regular socket, and it reportedly kills mozzies.

Over the last ten years, a new type of malaria has been on the rise in the forests of Southeast Asia. By using drones to observe the environment from above, researchers are gaining a new perspective on how changes to the terrain may be impacting local wildlife and causing the spread of the disease.

Lathering yourself in mosquito-repelling lotions might not be ideal, but it's better than those red swellings that would otherwise pop up on any exposed skin. The Invisaband releases a natural oil to confuse mosquitoes' senses, saving you from bites and applying layers of oily repellents.

With a design not dissimilar to a designer lamp, the InaTrap attracts, traps and kills insects so you can ditch the swatter and insect spray.

The NANOMOSKI process utilizes silica nanoparticles to render clothing mosquito-repellant.
