Mosquitoes die after drinking the blood of people taking a drug for metabolic disorders — a discovery that could help to prevent the spread of malaria https://go.nature.com/4cl6dQP

What if human blood were toxic to mosquitoes? A drug can make it so

Nature - A single dose of the drug nitisinone could render a person’s blood lethal to mosquitoes for five days, modelling suggests.
