Researchers have used the gene editing tool CRISPR/Cas9 to make male mosquitoes infertile. When females mate with them, they're rendered infertile, too.

Fruit flies and mosquitoes have about 200,000 brain cells That's enough to do a lot of processing, even more than a supercomputer.

Researchers have a way to scope out areas that may be suitable for the invasive Aedes scapularis, a mosquito capable of transmitting yellow fever virus.

Genetically-modified mosquitoes that are resistant to the Zika virus and can't spread it to people could stop its spread.

A unique group of neurons lights up in female mosquitoes only when they're eating the combined ingredients of blood, researchers report.

A new crystal form of deltamethrin—a common insecticide used to control malaria—is up to 12 times more effective against mosquitoes than the existing form.

Transfluthrin, a pesticide that can kill malaria-carrying mosquitoes, could be applied to bed nets and curtains.

"Choosing the appropriate bug repellent can be confusing for parents. Some may protect against mosquitos but not ticks, for example."

A new spray made with a type of volcanic glass shows promise in killing mosquitoes. That could help stop the spread of malaria.
