1 - natural mosquito
Quick information
They have a hard outer shell called an exoskeleton.
They have three main body parts: head, thorax, abdomen.
They have a pair of antennae that are attached to their head.
They have three pairs of legs used for walking.
They have one pair of wings used for flying.
Like all insects, the mosquito has three basic body parts: head, thorax, and abdomen.
Head
This is where all the sensors and the biting apparatus are located. The head consists of two compound eyes, antennae to sense chemicals and the mouth parts called the palpus and the proboscis (only in females).
Thorax
This segment is where the two wings and six legs attach. It contains the flight muscles, compound heart and nerve cell ganglia and trachioles.
Abdomen
This segment contains the digestive and excretory organs.
Mosquitoes are similar to flies in that they have two wings, yet unlike flies, their wings have scales. Their legs are also longer than those of flies, and the female mosquitoes have a long mouth part (proboscis) used for piercing the skin of their prey.
The Sensors
The head of the mosquito contains different sensors which aid the female in finding a host:
Chemical sensors
These sensors enable mosquitoes to find their prey as they can detect carbon dioxide and lactic acid up to 100 feet away. Mammals and birds give off these gases when they breathe. Certain chemicals in sweat also attract mosquitoes.
Visual sensors
Wearing clothing that contrasts with the background and even moving while wearing that clothing, helps mosquitoes see you and target you as their next prey. If you are moving, they know you are alive, and thus full of the blood they need.
Heat sensors
Mosquitoes can detect heat. These special sensors help them find warm-blooded humans and/or animals when they are within a certain proximity.
2 - The robot mosquito
Mosquito-killing robots deployed to city sewers
A team of scientists from the Taiwan National Mosquito-Borne Diseases Control Research Center sent robots into sewers underneath Kaohsiung city in southern Taiwan to detect and destroy mosquito larvae. Determining that it is easier to kill mosquito larvae than to kill flying mosquitoes that carry viruses like dengue and zika, the researchers deployed unmanned vehicles underground.
The deployed mosquito-killing robots are outfitted with various tools, digital cameras and LED lights that enable the robots to visualize the sewer environment, locate mosquito larvae in areas of standing water and spray the larvae with insecticide or hot water.
According to the researchers
the wheeled robots, which crawl roughly 16 ft per minute, are designed so that they cannot be easily overturned. Further, the researchers surveilled mosquito activity by setting up assorted Gravitraps for luring and capturing female mosquito specimens, which were analyzed so as to determine where dengue-positive mosquitoes often gravitate.
3 - genetically modified vector mosquitoes
Malaria and other vector-borne diseases, including dengue and Zika, affect millions globally. More than 400 000 people a year die from malaria alone. If proven safe, effective and affordable, genetically modified vector mosquitoes could be a valuable new tool to fight these diseases and eliminate their enormous health, social and economic burden.
Over the past decade
malaria control programmes have expressed a willingness to use genetic modification if and when such techniques are shown to be safe and acceptable to the affected communities. This has prompted the WHO to provide guidance on the use of genetically modified mosquitoes to control malaria and other vector-borne diseases.
The disadvantages:
community acceptance is a challenge.
There is an urgent need for research on the relevant local malaria mosquito species so that the required genetically modified mosquitoes can be developed.
Once the genetically modified lines are established, impact in the field must be demonstrated and systems established to ensure suitable numbers of mosquitoes can be reared and safely transported to the intervention sites.
Its requires considerable human resources and funding, suggesting that it will be some time before gene drive systems have real-world impact on malaria transmission.
The General comment
Allah says
﴿ ۞ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي أَن يَضْرِبَ مَثَلًا مَّا بَعُوضَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا ۚ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ ۖ وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَيَقُولُونَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًا ۘ يُضِلُّ بِهِ كَثِيرًا وَيَهْدِي بِهِ كَثِيرًا ۚ وَمَا يُضِلُّ بِهِ إِلَّا الْفَاسِقِينَ﴾ [ البقرة: 26]
﴿ ۞ Indeed, God is not ashamed to give an example of a mosquito or anything above it as for those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord, as for those who disbelieve, they say, “What did God mean by this example, He leads astray thereby many, and guides many thereby. And He does not lead astray thereby except the transgressors. (Al-Baqarah: 26)
A simplified explanation of the Holy Verse
God - the Almighty - is not ashamed of mentioning the simple things that people do not usually take into account. People are accustomed to the great person, the scholar, the one with a position, etc. He only speaks about things that are big, huge, and of value, so this example is surprising to the disbelievers, and as for the believers, they increase in faith by the same example, but in the end, God concludes the noble verse by saying that it is not possible for anyone to mislead with this example except the transgressors.
Look
Modern science has discovered the existence of some living organisms
Which cannot be seen with the naked eye, they live above the mosquito and are smaller than it, and these organisms parasitize on the mosquito in its food. These organisms were not known before at all, but their discovery was recently with the development of modern science, but the Book of God Almighty had the first to point out these creatures. Beings, God Almighty said more than one thousand and four hundred years ago: {Indeed, God is not ashamed to give an example of a gnat or anything above it.
The mosquito has
three complete hearts and has a complete device whose function is to analyze blood. It feeds on sucking blood and not all of the blood suits its needs. It also has a special device for diluting the blood so that the blood passes through its fine proboscis easily.
It was created millions of years ago
and has not yet become extinct, which is an indication of the ability to adapt and not be affected by epidemics, floods, or any other catastrophic effects.
It has a blood analysis laboratory
It can detect carbon dioxide and lactic acid at a distance of up to 100 feet. Mammals and birds release these gases when they breathe. As for some of the chemicals present in the veins, it is a complete flying laboratory, if so to speak.
3 – Has sensors
It has optical, chemical and thermal sensors to detect warm-blooded animals
4 – Chest
It has flight muscles, a complex heart, nerve ganglia, and bronchi
We write this part of the anatomy just for your consideration. This insect is very well-made, and it was made from ancient times. It did not require the gathering of scientists or complications to spray epidemics in the targeted places, and scientists do not stumble in placing it in public sewers to target natural mosquitoes. Natural mosquitoes are what do that (the pandemics)
As for the killer insect robots or genetically modified mosquito
New - Not yet tested to a sufficient degree - Expensive - Requires complex techniques to encourage it to target natural mosquitoes that carry malaria.
In the end
It's God right to not as ashamed from His mancraftship - if so to speak -
