Bat Takes Shelter On Rio Apartment Window
August 30, 2025, Rio De Janeiro, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil: A leaf-nosed bat hangs upside down from the eaves of an apartment window in Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro. The city is home to more than 70 bat species that contribute to its delicate urban ecosystem. In the nearby Atlantic Forest, bats feed on fruit, nectar, and insects, aiding in seed dispersal and pollination. In urban areas, they are often spotted roosting in buildings, a reminder of how Rio's wildlife adapts to human-made habitats. (Credit Image: © Bob Karp/ZUMA Press Wire (FOTO: DUKAS/ZUMA)

A new method that genetically blocks mosquitoes from transmitting malaria has been developed by researchers.
The flying insects are responsible for the deaths of more people each year than any other animal.
In 2023, the blood-sucking bugs infected a reported 263 million people with malaria, leading to nearly 600,000 deaths, 80 percent of them children.
Now, a US team drawn from the University of California San Diego, Johns Hopkins University, UC Berkeley and the University of São Paulo have created a gene-editing system that changes a single molecule within mosquitoes.
This minuscule but effective change stops the malaria-parasite transmission process.
Genetically altered mosquitoes are still able to bite those with malaria and acquire parasites from their blood, but the parasites can no longer be spread to other people.
The new system is designed to genetically spread the malaria resistance trait until entire populations of the insects no longer transfer the disease-causing parasites.
OPS: Genetically modified mosquito larvae express fluorescent markers of the FREP1 gene — RFP (pink), GFP (blue) or both (yellow) — to indicate whether they spread or block infection from malarial parasites.

Picture MUST credit: Photon Matrix
A tiny laser designed to zap mosquitoes dead in the home and outdoors has been unveiled.
The Photon Matrix is said to be capable of detecting a mosquito and gauging its distance, orientation and body size within just 3 milliseconds.
It also knows not to target anything larger than 2cm.
The makers claim it can effectively target mosquitoes with a flight speed of no more than one meter a second and between 2mm and 20mm long.
But it is admitted its efficacy on house flies and similarly fast-moving insects is “significantly diminished.”
The device uses a LiDAR light detection and ranging module which determines the locations of objects by emitting laser light pulses.
It then measures how long it takes that laser light to be reflected back by whatever it hits.
When a mosquito is detected, a second laser is instantaneously used to fatally zap the insect.
The basic Photon Matrix has a 90-degree, 3-meter scanning and killing range, which is boosted to 6 meters in a Pro version.
Both models are claimed to be capable of dispatching up to 30 mosquitoes per second even in the dark.

A tiny laser designed to zap mosquitoes dead in the home and outdoors has been unveiled.
The Photon Matrix is said to be capable of detecting a mosquito and gauging its distance, orientation and body size within just 3 milliseconds.
It also knows not to target anything larger than 2cm.
The makers claim it can effectively target mosquitoes with a flight speed of no more than one meter a second and between 2mm and 20mm long.
But it is admitted its efficacy on house flies and similarly fast-moving insects is “significantly diminished.”
The device uses a LiDAR light detection and ranging module which determines the locations of objects by emitting laser light pulses.
It then measures how long it takes that laser light to be reflected back by whatever it hits.
When a mosquito is detected, a second laser is instantaneously used to fatally zap the insect.
The basic Photon Matrix has a 90-degree, 3-meter scanning and killing range, which is boosted to 6 meters in a Pro version.
Both models are claimed to be capable of dispatching up to 30 mosquitoes per second even in the dark.
OPS: The Photon Matrix mosquito killer.
