意大利人真会玩，发明了避蚊神器！

来看看世界人民在“灭蚊”大业上都有什么奇思妙想...

广州最近又是暴雨又是高温，这是炎炎夏日将近的节奏啊。

这也意味着与蚊子近身肉搏的日子要来了。

蚊子可不止吸血，更可怕的是，它们还传播各种疾!病!

登革热，ZIKA。。。（我是忧伤的省略号）

扭思君BING了一下驱蚊方法，

看到第一条就不想再看了！！有木有！！

转而看BBC，

意大利人刚刚发明了一款避蚊神器！这是一款APP，叫“ZanzaMapp”，它可以帮你避免靠近蚊子聚集的地方。来看BBC的报道《Italian mosquito app creates pest 'heat map'》（点击下面的“阅读原文”，可以看到BBC报道的原文）：

ZanzaMapp通过收集公共信息，实时显示蚊子活跃的热点地区，从而让人民避开那些蚊子肆虐的区域，并引导卫生机构更好的灭杀蚊子。

The free app, called ZanzaMapp, gathers information from the public in order to highlight hot spots of mozzie activity in real time, Il Sole 24 Ore reports. The mosquito heat map will allow people to avoid areas with high concentrations of bugs, and help authorities to better direct pest control efforts, the project's website notes. It also enables users to upload photos so that experts can determine which species have been found and where.

ZanzaMapp发明者是一个准爸爸，他的主要目的就是为了预防寨卡病毒等蚊子传播的疾病。（呃~目测这将是一款带娃神器！）

The app's creator, expectant father Cesare Bianchi from Rome's Sapienza University, says he was driven by a lack of information on how to deal with new threats such as the mosquito-borne Zika virus, which doctors believe causes severe birth defects."I was searching for a place that was as safe as possible from the risk of Zika", he says. "I realised there's little practical information on how to manage the presence of mosquitoes." The app includes tips for making places less attractive to the insects, such as removing stagnant water.

世界卫生组织警告，因为白纹伊蚊的广泛分布，欧洲国家有大规模爆发寨卡病毒的风险，世界人民的“灭蚊”大业任重道远！

In March, the World Health Organisation warned that European countries may be at risk of a Zika outbreak, with the widespread tiger mosquito capable of transmitting the virus. In 2007, tiger mosquitoes were blamed for an outbreak in northern Italy of the chikungunya virus, more commonly seen in tropical regions.

事实上，人类与蚊子的战争从来都没有停止过。因为蚊子不仅让我们在夏日里受到骚扰，而且能够传染疟疾、登革热、乙脑和基孔肯雅热等疾病，世界卫生组织已经将蚊子列为人类第一大致命动物杀手。为了灭杀蚊子，世界人民研发了很多让人脑洞大开的灭蚊奇招！

比如，美国人也很会玩，据媒体报告，微软的前首席技术官Nathan Myhrvold发明了一个神奇的灭蚊机器Photonic Fence——一种激光灭蚊炮，它可以在三十米范围内精准识别并击毁雌蚊子（并非性别歧视，因为只有雌蚊子才会吸血）！！不能不说灭蚊玩出了新高度。

又比如，据媒体报道，应巴西卫生部的请求，国际原子能机构准备向巴西投放经辐射绝育的雄性蚊子。雄性蚊子在野外不叮咬人畜，而经过辐射后的雄性蚊子与雌性蚊子交配后不会生出下一代，从而达到控制蚊子数量的目的。

事实上，广州也有自己的绝育蚊子！2015年，广州经投放了50万只绝育蚊子用于防治登革热。而近期，广州蚊子绝育团队的专家奚志勇教授透露，j今后将进一步从飞机上投放绝育蚊子，如果顺利的话，最快三年左右，通过飞机释放绝育蚊子的方法，广州市民将可彻底告别登革热！
