Mosquito Trials in Tanzania

Caption

Rukia Ahmed, left, and Adam Mgaya gather larvae of pesticide-resistant mosquitoes in a cattle pasture in the Zenet region in Tanzania in April, 2017. They reared the larvae of these malaria-spreading Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes to test an attract-and-kill strategy using naturally occurring chemicals that mimic the smell of nectar that they feed upon.
