At all stages of the process, the END Fund works with government and local stakeholders to encourage cofinancing commitments that support deworming efforts.
Scientists can now make better traps that would be more efficient in attracting flies or they can make repellents that may be put on animals on people, ” she said.
" So these odors, which, before, would strongly activate the olfactory system, essentially now didn't do anything." Meaning repellents like DEET actually act like an invisibility cloak against mosquitoes.
The best way to prevent infections is using insect repellant with DEET, wearing thick long sleeve shirts and long pants and staying inside, in screened, air-conditioned areas as much as possible.
Professor James Logan from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine explains that DEET, the chemical used in many repellents, confuses the insects' sense of smell, making it difficult to recognise humans.
The most effective and easiest measure you can take are simply using the right insect repellent and wearing long sleeve shirts and pants, especially during dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active.
