The Dhaka Times Desk Mosquito coils, mosquito repellents, sprays cannot completely prevent mosquitoes. Recently scientists have shown a device called Kite Patch which will make humans invisible to mosquitoes.
World Health Organization According to 2010, about 6,60,000 people in malaria Died of infection. In fact, people in Africa often die from malaria. Malaria is spread by mosquitoes. The University of California and Olfactory Laboratories are working together with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to prevent the spread of malaria. In their combined efforts, the National Institutes of Health came up with the Kite Patch.
The kite patch is square in appearance. It should be attached to the clothes. It is designed to be durable and cost-effective. It can be attached not only to our clothes but also to our bags, baby strollers or almost everywhere. The device or sticker uses non-toxic compounds. Mosquitoes can detect carbon dioxide released by humans. Basically, mosquitoes detect human blood by detecting carbon dioxide. The Kite Patch destroys the mosquito's primary way of detecting human blood. The device works continuously for 48 hours to distinguish between mosquitoes and human users.
Meanwhile, 20,000 kite patches are scheduled to be sent to Uganda for efficacy testing. Malaria rate in Uganda is 60 percent. Torrey Tayenaka, co-founder of Kite, believes that if the Kite Patch works as expected, it will definitely bring good things to the world. The incidence of malaria will decrease in large numbers every year.
