Mosquitos, it has been argued, serve no real biological purpose on Earth. A 2010 study found that from an ecological standpoint mosquitos are only good at two things: spreading disease (which they excel at) and creating other mosquitoes. Aside from a few frogs and spiders going hungry for a few hours, we really wouldn't be missing that much.
Mosquitos murder around 725,000 individuals every year... making them the deadliest creature on the planet. Over portion of those are from intestinal sickness, a protozoan parasite that devastates red platelets, which is spread by mosquitos in tropical and subtropical areas.
Scientists have discovered that taking ivermectin, a medication intended to counteract elephantitis, really slaughters mosquitos when they chomp a human. With high measurements (at least 300mg) of ivermectin, it killed mosquitos for up to 30 days. It's energizing news for specialists, who have been searching for more solid confirmation that the medication works before hurrying it to the mass market. Ivermectin has been around since the 1980s however just has it reasonably as of late been utilized to consider jungle fever. Studies have been performed utilizing ivermectin since the 1980s, yet the recent distributed investigation in the Lancet Infectious Diseases diary has all the appears to being the most conclusive.

I actually hate mosquitoes, since I was little they have constantly been sucking my blood and only mine. They attack me much more than other people in my family and its really annoying.
Nice informative article by the way.
Cheers!

I've wondered why that happens, that the mosquitoes don't attack some but go after others? Is there something in the blood? Is there something about a person that more or less makes them invisible to mosquitoes? I'd like to know.
In my case, it's kind of hit and miss. It might depend on who I'm with, too, but I've gone times without being bitten or hardly bitten, and others times, I just had to flat out go inside.

My Dad had the perfect idea how to use mosquitoes.
I don't know what grade he was in, but it was customary to tell what you did coming back off of summer vacation. So, he told the class that he had spent the summer helping the Red Cross collect blood.
But instead of helping out at blood drives or the like, he taught mosquitoes to bring him the blood that they sucked out of their human hosts.
He had them all going, apparently, until he mentioned that he was also able to train the mosquitoes to tell between blood types. Apparently, his classmates didn't think mosquitoes were smart enough to tell the difference. :)
