Mosquitoes differentiate their species with a cry

The latest research by British scientists shows that African Gambian mosquitoes can identify and distinguish species from different regions through cries.

In the report published in the latest issue of 'Contemporary Biology', scientists from the University of Sussex (UK) said that Gambia mosquitoes are divided into many different strains.

These strains look completely alike, but there is little distraction. This feature makes Gambia mosquitoes ensure a relatively high genetic diversity, so their adaptability is stronger and becomes a very dangerous and difficult species to cope with.

In addition, scientists also found that the sound frequencies of different species are different.

Moreover, mosquitoes also choose partners through sound frequencies.

This has helped scientists find a way to 'confuse' their mating to improve malaria prevention.
