Our Project: An Overview
MosquiTOES
The drone of the mosquito is a common sound. On camping trips it serves as a herald of itchy swells and signals that it is indeed time to break out the bug spray. In many parts of the world however, this sound means something completely different. It signals the presence of a vector for diseases such as malaria, west nile and dengue fever. Mosquitoes are responsible for the widespread of these sicknesses, resulting in 219 million cases of malaria in 2010 alone, 660,000 of which resulted in deaths.
