A new study reveals that mosquitoes in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil are increasingly feeding on human blood due to the destruction of biodiversity caused by human expansion. This shift raises concerns about the transmission of viral diseases to humans. Researchers captured and analyzed mosquitoes, finding a significant preference for human blood, which could enhance the risk of disease transmission. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding mosquito behavior to mitigate health risks and develop effective control strategies. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
