Ox's Natural Mosquito Repellant Synthesized in Lab: An Asian wild ox is helping scientists in the fight against pesky mosquitoes. Researchers have succeeded in determining the exact structure of a compound that gaurs excrete as a mosquito deterrent and synthesizing it in the laboratory. The results could help control the spread of mosquitoes that carry tropical diseases, such as yellow fever and malaria. Link
