New ASU-led research published in the journal PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases shows that using electric fields to repel mosquitos could be viable — and worth it. The study was led by Ndey Bassin Jobe, who graduated with her PhD from Arizona State University last spring. Michael Erickson, a master’s student in Paaijmans’ lab, is building on Jobe’s work to study not only whether electric fields repel mosquitoes, but how — by looking at the mosquitoes’ flight patterns.
