For every 1/2 liter of water, pour 3 caps of mouthwash. This will help the flowers stay fresh longer and more beautiful.

Genetically modified mosquito larvae will be released in the US. Oxitec has previously released the aegypti Aedes mosquito in Brazil, the Cayman Islands, Panama and Malaysia, and the company has reported that the local strain of A. aegypti has reduced by at least 90%. A. aegypti can carry diseases such as Zika, dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever, and the release of genetically modified mosquitoes is one way to control this population without the use of insecticides. Oxitec’s genetically engineered mosquitoes are male, engineered to carry lethal genes; When genetically modified pests mate with wild female mosquitoes, the lethal gene is passed on to their offspring. Although the gene does not affect the survival of males, it prevents females from building an essential protein and thus causes them to die before adulthood. Only female mosquitoes bite humans (male mosquitoes only drink nectar), so denatured mosquitoes and their surviving males cannot transmit disease to humans. A. aegypti mosquitoes make up about 4% of all mosquitoes in the Florida Keys but cause the majority of mosquito-borne diseases in the area. The region typically spends $1 million a year on mosquito control, resorting to costly measures such as aerial spraying. Release of hundreds of millions of genetically modified mosquitoes could be a less expensive and more effective option, especially as mosquito populations become resistant to pesticides over time. Oxitec was approached by the local government in 2010, and after a decade of regulatory review and local feedback, both the board and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency finally approved the plan. Release of genetically modified mosquitoes in the Keys. At the end of April, the company placed boxes of mosquito eggs at six locations in Cudjoe Key, Ramrod Key and Vaca Key, according to Nature. Over the next 12 weeks, about 12,000 newly hatched male mosquitoes will emerge from the box. This will be an initial test so Oxitec can collect data before conducting a second test with nearly 20 million mosquitoes later this year. The company will capture mosquitoes during the test to see how far the insects travel from their boxes, how long they live, and whether female mosquitoes actually pick up the lethal gene and die. To make it easier to track genetically engineered mosquitoes, Oxitec introduced a gene that causes the mosquitoes to glow under a specific color of light. The experiment was met with strong opposition from a small portion of Florida Keys residents, as well as the Florida Keys Environmental Alliance and Food Safety Center. Concerned that the boxes of mosquito eggs could be vandalized, Oxitec placed them in a secret place and did not reveal their exact location to the public. Questions remain as to whether genetically modified mosquitoes cause undesirable effects on mosquitoes, local animals, or the ecosystem at large. For example, after Oxitec released genetically modified mosquitoes in Jacobina, Brazil, genes from the insect were mutilated in local mosquito populations, suggesting that the lethal gene failed to kill some females before they can mate. According to a 2019 study published in the journal Scientific Reports, their hybrids did not carry the lethal gene, but instead carried genes from the original Cuban and Mexican mosquito populations used to create the modified mosquitoes. genes. It is unclear whether these new genes may have changed the biology of the mosquito. Molecular biologist Natalie Kofler, founder of E Edit Nature, an organization that advocates for the responsible use of gene editing, told Nature she hopes the Oxitec test will be conducted in a transparent and in a way that might make some community members feel better about the whole situation.

Americans call the unexplained neurological problems encountered by US diplomats in Cuba in 2016, including dizziness, tinnitus, headache and nausea – sometimes combined by a ” the mysterious but more serious noise …, is “Havana Syndrome”. Worth mentioning, in 2018, some American employees working in several countries other than Cuba such as China (in Guangzhou) also reported experiencing similar symptoms – dizziness, dizziness, fatigue, or headache and blurred vision, loss of memory and difficulty concentrating; some people also face severe visual and hearing impairment; Children in the house had nosebleeds – prompting the administration of Donald Trump to accuse the diplomats were attacked by a secret weapon. In the late 2010s, US and Canadian diplomats ran into health problems for unknown reasons; Source: stellariasacademy.online According to a study by the Canadian government, mosquito repellent could be the cause of the mysterious disease affecting about 40 US and Canadian diplomats in Cuba. Scientists from Dalhousie University and the Nova Scotia Health Service studied Canadian victims and the brains of a pet dog after death. The results showed that these people lacked cholinesterase – an enzyme necessary for the functioning of the nervous system. Some insecticides work by inhibiting this substance. In the period 2016-2018, Cuba stepped up the spraying of sterilizers to prevent the spread of Zika. That was also the time when the diplomats had unusual symptoms. It is not clear whether the Cuban people will be affected by the disinfectant, but the Canadian team of scientists is planning to work with Cuban scientists to further study this matter. Returning from Guangzhou, US diplomats were only given unpaid leave instead of receiving treatment and rehabilitation. The Trump administration has also not launched an independent investigation to find out the cause of the incident. American diplomats who had been evacuated from Guangzhou are still struggling for not getting the benefits they deserve compared to victims of “Havana Syndrome”; US diplomat Mark Lenzi filed a lawsuit against the State Department. Meanwhile, some medical experts and US officials believe that this is just a psychological disease formed in a stressful working environment abroad. According to the New York Times, the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Brain Injury Recovery has received 44 US diplomats returning from Cuba and 15 returning from China. Here, the treating doctors declined to comment in detail, but rejected the hypothesis of a psychological disease. According to them, these patients all have brain injury caused by external influences. Similar symptoms “Havana syndrome” The Pentagon and other agencies are investigating cases that have yet to discover or release details, but suspicion of an attack occurring too close to the White House is of interest, especially for reasons familiar – terror. In early April 2021, the Senate and House Military Affairs Committee was notified by Defense officials, possibly including an event that took place near the White House. The most recent reported symptoms of “Havana Syndrome” occurred next to the White House, for some people; Source: news.com.au The incident happened in Ellipse – the large oval lawn south of the White House – where the “energy attack” occurred that caused a National Security Council official to fall ill, according to some current officials. at and former US official with CNN. A female White House official reported the same incident in 2019, when she was walking her dog in suburbs of Virginia, according to a GQ report from 2020. All those who have experienced the million This testimony both reported their experiences to the CIA and the State Department’s overseas personnel department, to quickly open investigations of possible “Havana syndrome” attacks. A study by the National Academy of Sciences in late 2020 found that the disease that US officials acquired in Cuba still known as “Havana Syndrome” could be a result of microwave radiation. The document also said that the Soviet Union studied the effects of radio frequency energy 50 years ago – meaning any country, group or entity with similar technology could be behind the attack. energy efficiency near the White House and elsewhere. Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation. The human eye can only see a fraction of the electromagnetic radiation – in the form of visual light. But today, microwaves are in common use every day – including telephone and television communication. Industrial applications include potato processing, plywood drying and curing, bread and donut making, etc. The Sonic weapon could have been the cause of the White House incident An energy-oriented weapon using microwaves can quickly heat up parts of the body – especially places with less blood flow, like the ears, testicles or brain. But more likely, the microwaves during the “Havana Syndrome” event – and possibly the one near the White House – were the use of acoustic weapons, or long-range audio equipment. Is “Havana Syndrome” caused by a mysterious weapon ?; Source: stellariasacademy.online Jai Galliott – director of defense and technology assessment and former Australian naval officer at the University of New South Wales – said in an ABC report, sound weapons can damage the lungs and liver. if the decibel level (sound measurement unit) is set appropriately. Galliott added, it has been shown that prolonged low frequency exposure can have other effects on the brain, and potentially affecting brain tissue. And these weapons are real. This technology has been around since the 1970s and was brought into public discussion in the 1980s. But because this technology is still in the near monopoly of high-ranking government officials – like the ministry. Defense (DoD) or Central Intelligence Service (CIA) – so it’s not easy to pinpoint exactly how the weapons and symptoms of the White House event are related to cause and effect. “It’s not particularly complicated technology, it’s in favor of how they use it [và] the effect they used [điều đó còn khó hiểu hơn]”; “Certainly Russia has that technology, America has that technology, and China too,” Galliott explained to ABC. While it is too early to say which device, if any, causes the debilitating symptoms that US officials near the White House and elsewhere experienced in previous months, we may be on the way. into a new era of discreet but effective attacks on high-ranking officials – leaving no trace of agents to be charged. It is possible that energy attacks are made from a low-flying drone, or an operator nearby, though this is only speculation. Canadian diplomats said their government has more detailed information on brain injuries caused by “Havana Syndrome”, but did not give further details.

Looks like chocolate cookies, but in fact these are cakes made from mosquitoes. (Photo: Internet) The mosquito burger, also known as the mosquito burger, as its name suggests, this burger is made from 100% mosquitoes, not mixed with any ingredients. The cakes have ingredients from 100% mosquito meat. They also have another name, Mosquito Burger, sound and like, but few people dare to try. (Photo: Internet) The method of catching mosquitoes is also very simple. People will find a large pot or a wooden board dipped in water, then spread all over the air to get the mosquitoes to stick, in just a few moments you can catch a few kilograms of mosquitoes very easily. Africans catch mosquitoes to make a 1-0-2 cake. (Photo: Internet) The next step is to dip mosquitoes into a pot of boiled water and knead like flour, make round, flat cakes like donuts, drop on greasy cooking oil, and give off a characteristic aroma. It looks like a dough to make a ramie, but it’s actually made up of thousands of mosquitoes. (Photo: Internet) In addition, Africans still have another way of processing. They will put mosquitoes in special sauce then cook them on stone slabs. It is estimated that each mosquito cake needs from 200,000 to 500,000 mosquitoes, especially this cake has a protein content 7 times higher than beef. Although mosquito cakes are good for the body, not everyone has the courage to eat an animal that specializes in sucking human blood. This dish is very nutritious, the protein is 7 times higher than beef. (Photo: Internet)

An individual Aedes aegypti mosquito captured in Costa Rica (Image: Reuters) Proposed by the Florida Keys Mosquito Control Authority (FKMCD) and Oxitec – a British biotechnology company supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation – this project aims to release large numbers of volatile mosquitoes. genetically modified in the Florida Keys this week; the two organizations said in a joint statement. As the first step of the plan, mosquito bins will be placed in six sites, and within 12 weeks will release about 144,000 Aedes aegypti mosquitoes – the strains most closely linked to infectious diseases such as fever. hemorrhage, Zika and yellow fever. If the plan works out, male mosquitoes that are unable to bite will mate with local female mosquitoes – resulting in the death of their eggs – helping to control Aedes aegypti populations and reduce transmission. epidemic spread. Approved by the Environmental Protection Agency in May 2020, the project also seeks to reduce the doses of local chemical insecticides that are harmful to the wildlife. The UK-based company, founded at the University of Oxford in 2002, also claims that it has a “high level of” support from the Florida Keys residents. But in fact, many local people expressed skepticism, even expressed opposition to local leaders. “We are not scientists, but we can read. What Oxitec says and what we read from other sources is completely different, ”Meagan Hull, a local resident, told a village council meeting in March. “We realized that it was a crime that we were forced to participate in this experiment,” Hull said. Another local resident said she was “extremely concerned” about the upcoming plan, pointing to the risk that genetically modified female mosquitoes will emerge massively in the community. “Everyone says it won’t happen, but I don’t believe it,” she said, pointing to the “lack of transparency” of Oxitec and government agencies. Even some officials have expressed concern, with Council member Mark Gregg calling the genetically modified mosquitoes “Frankenstein mosquitoes”. “I heard others say that we are being turned into guinea pigs” – he said. However, FKMCD confirmed the need to improve mosquito control measures, given that some species of mosquitoes are becoming resistant to insecticides, adding that Oxitec’s project could provide the tools. new “safe, friendly with the environment and with a focus”. Oxitec is no stranger to genetically engineered mosquitoes, and has released more than 1 billion of these mosquitoes in South America and the Caribbean, as a 27-month trial in Brazil in 2013, seek to reduce local mosquito populations by 90%. Like the current Florida Keys initiative, genetically modified mosquito eggs are planned to die in Brazil, but Oxitec drew criticism in 2019 after researchers released a report showing mosquitoes. reproduce as usual, and up to 60% of the individuals analyzed have traces of genetic modification. A similar Oxitec project in the Cayman Islands was also canceled in 2018, after local officials concluded it had failed. Health Minister Dwayne Seymour also said the plan “did not achieve the results we thought”. A few months before the Cayman Islands contract collapsed, the company announced it was a partner with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation of US billionaire Bill Gates to produce “friendly” mosquitoes, this time the strain. Anopheles transmits malaria. Since then, Oxitec has received only a modest $ 8.5 million from the Gates Foundation, according to its financial statements, and has received more than $ 1.2 million year-to-date alone.

One case of a patient with hand, foot and mouth disease must be hospitalized for treatment.

According to the Ministry of Health, Vietnam is a tropical country, circulating many infectious diseases transmitted by insects, including viral encephalitis, especially in the summer, the season suitable for insect transmission. Viral encephalitis is a dangerous condition caused by a variety of viruses, often causing damage to the brain, resulting in neurological sequelae and high mortality. In order to proactively prevent and fight epidemics in the summer of 2021, the Ministry of Health has sent an official letter to the Department of Health of the provinces and cities to strengthen surveillance, early detection, isolation and thorough treatment of outbreaks. at the same time take samples for testing to determine the causative agent. In particular, the provinces / cities must step up the expanded vaccination, ensuring the rate of over 95% of the commune, ward and town scale and organize the campaign of environmental sanitation, mosquito elimination, and larvae. .

Mosquitoes transmit diseases such as chikungunya, dengue fever and zika. (Source: wwmedgroup) These mosquito carriers, species rodent animals Destroying crops, wood boring insects, and even domestic cats are invasive species that are causing enormous harm to humans and the natural environment. According to a study published March 31 in the journal Nature, researchers working at the Laboratory of Ecology, Taxonomy and Evolution at the University of Paris-Sacla in France estimate invasive species. the so-called damaging alien species has cost the global economy nearly $ 1,300 since 1970, averaging $ 26.8 billion a year. The actual number could be even higher, researchers warn. The team synthesized a wide range of harms that invasive species cause to different habitats, including plants, insects, reptiles, birds, fish, mollusks, microorganisms or animals. mammal. Most harm is related to ecosystems, crops, fisheries and disease control measures. The team has made a preliminary list of the top 10 invasive pests, including the plant-eating rats and the Asian gypsy moth – two species that are devastating crops across the Northern Hemisphere. The list also includes zebra mosquitoes native to Southeast Asia that transmit diseases such as chikungunya, dengue fever and Zika. According to the researchers, the average annual damage caused by invasive species triples every decade. However, there is some evidence that the number of invasive species has increased “exponentially” due to increasing international trade, as humans import many species of organisms. In Australia, wild rabbit populations of European origin, first recorded in the early 19th century, have become invasive species causing great harm to the ecology of the Oceania nation. this over the past 150 years. They reproduce at an uncontrollable rate, consume soil, damage native species, as well as destroy crops with billions of dollars in damage. On the island of Guam, US overseas territories in the Pacific, invasive brown tree snakes native to Australia and Indonesia have “slaughtered” the majority of native bird and lizard populations since being accidentally brought in to come here in the mid-20th century. They also threaten people and sneak into equipment, causing frequent power outages. In forests in the US and more recently Europe, the longhorn beetle originating from Asia is also destroying the vegetation, causing serious damage to the ecosystem. According to the study, domestic cats are also among the top 10 invasive pests. This animal that has been “traveling” around the world for hundreds of years has now become an “invasive” species on most islands in the world, “slaughtering” birds, reptiles and animals. Amphibians in many parts of the world. The United Nations Scientific Advisory Committee on Biodiversity (IPBES) said that it is among the top 5 culprits of environmental destruction worldwide, along with changes in land use and resource exploitation. , pollution and climate change. In 2019, IPBES estimates that the number of invasive species has increased to 70% since 1970 in the 21 countries studied. Laboratory director on Franck Courchamp said international trade will increase more species of organisms introduced, while climate change will help more of these imported species survive and thrive. With the above research, scientists hope that by giving a figure of the damage caused by invasive species, people as well as authorities will raise awareness about the severity. of invasive species. Early detection, good data combined with preventive measures can significantly reduce the damage invasive species cause. The researchers also hope this issue will be included in the list of the serious environmental challenges facing humanity to receive more attention.

* Builds for… mosquito repellent

To prevent dengue fever, Ms. Nguyen Thi Tam (living in Trung Dung Ward, Bien Hoa City) went to an e-commerce site to order a 100ml bottle of mosquito repellent Permethrin 50EC, 100ml capacity for 70,000 VND, recommended by the seller as originating from the UK, recommended by the Ministry of Health. When her children and grandchildren go to work and school, according to the instructions, she mixed the medicine bottle with 5 liters of water and sprayed it from the house to the garden. After nearly a day of spraying, from morning to afternoon when her family members returned home, everyone was still under construction because they could not stand the strong, stinking smell of pesticides that lurked in the house. Seeing that, her family had to turn on the fan, open the door wide to let the smell of medicine go away before they dared to enter the house.

Director of the Center for Disease Control of Bach Thai Binh province recommends that, when spraying mosquito repellent, there are some points to note: choose the time of spraying when no one is at home. When spraying should go backwards from the inside out to avoid contact with chemicals.

As noted by the reporter of Dong Nai Newspaper, at present, there are many probiotics sold on the market to kill mosquitoes and other insects. These products are very diverse, the type commonly used in many households today is the spray bottle and mosquito incense. In addition, there are products to kill mosquitoes with water or powder, mixed with water to spray on a wider area.

Mr. Nam Nghia, a person who has been selling cleaning chemicals for many years at Bien Hoa market (Bien Hoa city), said that foreign mosquito repellants are often counterfeited. Counterfeit drugs are made in 2 forms: the correct form of the biological product to kill mosquitoes, but the buyers dilute it, 1 bottle into 2-3 bottles to make a profit, this type reduces the effectiveness of mosquito killing but less dangerous for people. The second is a fake medicine made from a pesticide, extracted in small bottles, labeled with a fake mosquito killer and sold at a cheaper price, which is very toxic.

According to Mr. Nam Nghia, the mosquito repellent brand Permethrin 50EC is selling very well because of its good effect. If the goods are from the UK, the smell is light, does not cause harm to people, the price is about 250 thousand VND / 100ml bottle. This type is being counterfeited the most and only sells for 1/3 of the correct price. To identify the genuine drug Permethrin 50EC is a white bottle cap with a dark brown shell, on the bottom of the bottle there is a logo of the product’s name embossed, and the fake is not.
