A team of researchers including a University of Maryland entomologist has successfully turned the pesky mosquito's sex life into its downfall. By creating what amounts to a sexually transmitted disease specifically for mosquitoes, the scientists unveiled a potentially powerful new weapon in the global fight against malaria.

        Mosquitos are known for being pretty big on penetration. It’s their thing, and they’re always the active participant.
