What makes mosquitoes so deadly?

Summary:

This news tells us that mosquitoes can transmit a deadly disease called Malaria. The female mosquitoes are biting us. Mosquitoes have been on earth since the past 50 million years ago, with a body similar to now, but now has evolved. It has evolved so much that they have become immune to pesticides thrown some 12 years, in order to avoid being contagious disease. Scientists tell us that mosquitoes that bite people are attracted to them, this attraction is body odor, as many mosquitoes are more attractive than another smell. We also argue that there are people who produce their own chemical element that repel mosquitoes, so do not sting as much as others. They say that these characteristics are genetically inherited. A doctor tells us how he could know how people smell more attractive as it has been defined as a gene inherited. He says he did experiments on twins alike, and different and verify, as identical twins have the same amount of mosquito bites and twins different had fewer bites spread, I mean one that bites under the other.

My opinion:

I liked this news because now that summer is approaching, mosquitoes attack us much, and I wanted to know a little more. I found this very interesting news, because I did not know that mosquitoes are attracted to different body odors or chemical elements that we create to protect ourselves from them, and that body odor that attracts, are genetically inheritable.
