Peter Piermarini, an Assistant Professor of Entomology, who is as well a Researcher at the Ohio State University with his collaborators, has earlier last month announced that "our team has found a chemical that interferes with the function of a class of mosquitoes' protein called 'potassium channels, and which compromises the ability of mosquitoes to excrete urine. In addition to blocking their kidney functions, the chemical leaves mosquitoes unable to fly".
