#HumanShield in #Gaza, May 2024.

»#Israel​i forces strapped explosives around the neck of an elderly #Palestinian man in Gaza and forced him to act as a human shield before killing him and his wife, an investigation by the Israeli news website #HaMakom has revealed. […]

According to HaMakom the decision to use the elderly man as a human shield was part of a long-standing tactic called the "#mosquito #protocol" which involves Israeli soldiers ordering Palestinians to enter potentially booby-trapped locations - houses, tunnels, and other structures - ahead of the Israeli troops. […]

another Israeli soldier rejected the army's official line, telling HaMakom that "the mosquito protocol is completely regulated, and it's a very gray zone within the army."«

"Dengue cases in #Singapore have been on the rise since the 1990s, with the largest recorded outbreaks occurring in 2020 and 2022

Aside from creating more viable habitats for mosquitoes to breed, climate change also speeds up the physical maturation of the #mosquito, while also enabling the virus to develop faster within it, said Dr Fornace. "

How does #mosquito gut #microbiota influence pathogen transmission? This study shows that bacterial cell wall components activate the IMD pathway, and downstream NF-κB TFs drive formation of peritrophic matrix, a physical barrier that influences vector competence #plosbiology plos.io/40d5Pyq

@Lazarou Actually.... It appears they are NOT a fan of EDM...

"But one team of researchers took a noisier approach, discovering that electronic dance music (EDM)—specifically, Skrillex’s “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites,” a song released back in 2010—was a real buzzkill for mosquitoes (Acta Trop.2019, DOI: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2019.03.027)."
