Mosquito bites in the smallest details Bashny.Net

moment when a mosquito pierces the skin of its victim and begins to drink her blood, was captured in unprecedented detail. Incredible video filmed by French scientists, using a microscope. In the video, the scientists captured as the anopheles mosquito bites and sucks blood from mice under anesthesia. It seems that during the mosquito bite is not just sucking the blood of his victim, and tries to find her a blood vessel. Video filmed by a team from the Pasteur Institute in Paris found that incredibly flexible mosquito sting. "Some people, especially in Africa and Asia, mosquitoes bite several times a day. We wanted to find out whether they would behave differently from animals that have been vaccinated by their saliva, "- said Valery Chumet led the research in an interview with Mail Online.
To test this, the team has selected a few mice were administered antibodies recognizing the mosquito saliva. As the researchers found, the white clots formed at the ends of proboscis of mosquitoes indicate that the antibodies react with saliva in the bite of an insect. However, despite the fact that clots clog small hole in the proboscis of a mosquito, an insect that does not stop from trying to drink the blood. Instead, he is making more attempts to find under the skin of its victim's blood vessels. "I was truly amazed to see the footage. Proboscis, which was supposed to be a solid, as is able to pierce the skin, really flexible and fully managed. Wonders of the structure of bodies of insects never cease to amaze me, "- said James Logan of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Mosquitoes drink blood from their victims an average of four minutes. Researchers note that they suck the blood so much that it leads to destruction of the blood vessels. Malaria mosquitoes are spending more time searching for the blood vessels, which suggests that the malaria parasite Plasmodium cause that can control the nervous system of the insect.
