General Mosquito and a certain Corrupt man from Bole Bamboi plus his brother groomed Sammy Gyamfi. They are more dangerous to Ghanaians than Anopheles Mosquitoes. They've killed more Ghanaians than that insect.

Another research also added one more reason, being NPP supporter. Apparently criminals blood attracts mosquitoes more than other. The research found that NPP supporters are bitten more by mosquitoes than other Ghanaians because of the criminal blood in their veins.

Reason 1 (breathing out Co2) is bullshit! Since everybody breathes out carbon dioxide, how can mosquitoes single-out somebody because they are breathing?

Npp has no respect for anybody and or anything apart from their party through which they could gain power to steal..

why would someone attempt to downplay a nice research topic like this just to make mockery of prez Mahama..

The cumulative effect of Galamsey will prove to be more deadly than Mosquito if we don't take care. Malaria currently is part of the side effects of Galamsey bcoz of the pool of water being created by this activity in our rural communities. I recently went to a funeral in Akyem area and what I saw wasn't good to my ppl.

MOSQUITOS AVOID EVIL PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY LIARS
No wonder mosquitoes don't bite Afenyo Markins and Ano Dompreh.

Please don't impersonate Frank Agyena-Karikari. That is not how I sign in. Objectively, that is not my style of writing. Check out the punctuations very well. I have learned the English language for about 20 years, and Communication Skills in English language for One Academic Year at. UCC. Becoming Certified as a Middle and High School Teacher, I had to take Courses in TEACHING STUDENTS WITH ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE. That is a requirement because many of my students can be Spanish Speaking people and Teachers are expected to TEACH TO THEIR UNDERSTANDING. I am therefore careful with my choice of English language vocabulary and how I use them. They must be the Acceptable Standard. You have woefully failed in your impersonation.

Do Africans especially black Africa prioritize research? how come no progress has been made against these tiny blood sucking disease spreading winged insects?

If it's to poison human beings, people have been doing it, why not find how to eliminate these things without harming other insects because clearly insecticides have failed, it must be targeted at mosquitoes

If our politicians keep on stealing the state how can we get monies to fund those research? I understand there's some research that create some breed of Mosquitoes that can eat the Anopheles type which are more troublesome

This is a very good news to me. If we can have some Mosquitoes and other insects that can eat the Anopheles Mosquitoes, then our Politicians should research further into this initiative and findings and let Ghanaians invest in that. The Anopheles Mosquitoes are very detrimental to Sub Saharan Africans. Malaria kills more Humans in Africa than all Animals combined. It was the Anopheles Mosquitoes that made West Africa very dangerous to the Europeans. Malaria killed many Europeans in West Africa that the region became known as THE WHITE MAN's GRAVE.

That name was possibly adopted by him to suggest that he is very smallish, skinny, and can be dangerous. The Anopheles Mosquitoes kill more Humans than all animals combined. You will be surprised to find out the number of people who are killed in Africa and Asia as a results of bites from the Anopheles Mosquito.

BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ARE TALKATIVES! 1 day ago

The mosquitoes hear them from afar. The only time they stop talking is if the mosauitoe is biting them and they have to concentrate to kill them.

This is from a Research done in China.
