Bart Knols: 3 new ways to kill mosquitoes

The video discusses innovative methods to combat mosquitoes and malaria. It begins with the nuisance of mosquitoes and their attraction to humans due to body odor. Experiments reveal that different mosquito species prefer different body parts, and Limburger cheese can attract mosquitoes. Dogs are trained to detect mosquito larvae and malaria carriers. A tablet is introduced that kills mosquitoes after they bite, offering a potential solution to eliminate malaria.
