Studies Show Skrillex Music Could Save You Mosquitoes |

So …. it seems that there is some truth in an Internet 2013 even famous dubstep producer Skrillex.

In the same six years, Skrillex avoids the sting of a bee while dancingFirst of the year (Equinoxe)& # 39 ;. Now, however, it seems that his music alone would be enough to fight against mosquito attacks.

A recent study published in Acta Tropica saw scientists play the 2010 hit of the dubstep star & # 39;Scary monsters and nice goblins& # 39; Yellow fever mosquitoes for the purpose of investigating its effects on insects. The yellow fever mosquito is generally present in the tropics and is known to spread deadly diseases such as Zika virus.

Scientists discovered that the song "entertained" adult female mosquitoes and often attacked humans less often than insects not exposed to the song. They also found that insects exposed to the trail "copulated much less often" than those who did not listen, which proved to be an effective repellent against mosquitoes.

A summary of the study reads as follows: "Sound and reception are essential for the reproduction, survival and maintenance of the population of many animals." In insects, low-frequency vibrations facilitate badual interactions, while noise disrupts the perception of congeners' signals. mosquitoes react to sound frequencies Despite the evidence, Beyond the fundamental scales, including songs, and that men and women must struggle to harmonize their flight tones, the behavioral impacts of music as that control targets remain unexplored In this study, we examined the effects of electronic music (Scary Monsters and Skrillex's Nice Sprites) on foraging, host attack and badual activities of the vector of the dengue Aedes aegypti. "

"The adults were presented with two sound environments (music off or music on), differences in patterns of attendance, blood supply and copulation were compared between environments with and without music. Egyptians were kept in the music-initiated host Women exposed to music attacked guests much later than their unexposed peers Adults exposed to music copulated far less often than their counterparts in an environment where there was no music In addition to providing an insight into Ae aegypti's auditory sensitivity to sound, our results indicated: vulnerability of its vector capacitance characteristics to electronic music, finding that music can delay host attacks, reduce blood supply and disrupt reproduction new lanes r the development of personal protection and control measures against the disease transmitted by Aedes, based on music.
