Why mosquitoes are choosing human blood more often, according to scientists
Scientists observed mosquitoes in Brazil's Atlantic Forest feeding on humans more often. This shift suggests habitat loss is pushing mosquitoes towards human hosts. DNA analysis
Scientists observed mosquitoes in Brazil's Atlantic Forest feeding on humans more often. This shift suggests habitat loss is pushing mosquitoes towards human hosts. DNA analysis revealed this surprising feeding pattern in protected forest areas. Disappearing wildlife populations may force mosquitoes to seek new blood sources. Protecting forests could help reduce future risks from mosquito-borne diseases.
