A patch designed to make people 'invisible' to disease-transmitting mosquitoes may soon undergo field trials in Uganda.
The Kite Patch is a small sticker for clothes that works by disrupting mosquitoes' ability to sense exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2) and human odour — the key known ways by which the insect finds people to bite.
A single patch is designed to provide protection for two days and to be effective against all mosquito species.
