I have a new idea which will help combat the spread of malaria. Why not spray mosquitoes with a modified fungus that delivers compounds targeted to the parasite. The fungus will attack mosquitoes, so they modify the fungi using a human antibody and a scorpion toxin, both of which specifically target the malaria causing parasite and block its development. The fungus can also be used to treat other insect carried diseases, such as Lyme disease or dengue fever, by targeting the fungus...

Do not fill an aquarium with water just after the purchase. If an aquarium has a frame and glass junctures are covered with putty or sealant, then let such an aquarium settle for a couple of days, change the water once a day. During this time, all toxins from putty are supposed to dissolve in water. Then wash your aquarium thoroughly, fill it with water and leave for at least a day. And only then put fishes into it. The water level in the aquarium drops over time... this is...

It seems to be a great idea to create a harness which will allow dogs to be guided remotely and controlled while out of sight. The harness will come with GPS, sensors, and wireless modem allowing handlers to keep track of the dog while issuing commands from a distance. The system will relay the commands to the dog in the form of vibrations or tones that the dog has been trained to recognize.

1. The most important step in getting rid of cat hair in your home is to keep it from getting loose there in the first place. If you brush your cat on a regular basis--anywhere from daily to once every two weeks, depending on how much your cat sheds - the cat will have less hair to shed on its own. In fact, most cats enjoy being brushed as long as you use gentle pressure with a brush that isn't scratchy. 2. A cat's skin and coat are easily affected by the animal's diet, so...

Are you tired of cat fights as I am? My idea is to create collars with special device built-in. Whenever cats fight, this device will give them an electrical shock so as they stop.

Thanks to their sharp claws cats can freely climb on trees of almost any height. While this doesn't disturb us, such a behavior of cats seems even funny.... But not always. Sometimes there are situations when you need to prohibit cats from behaving in such a way. How can you do this? It's easy. For example, to prevent cats from climbing on trees and killing chicks in the nests bind tin plate on the branch. Such a barrier is the one that cats are not able to overcome...

A new cat door will only open for approved microchipped pets, preventing strays and random animals from entering the home. The door will include an integrated microchip reader that will store the information of up to 32 cats. The door will open when the cat lowers its head to enter, automatically locking again once the pet has passed through. The reader will be compatible with most microchips. A larger version for small dogs could be developed as well.

Bait: 10 percent of boric acid mixed with 90 percent of the filler. Use mashed potatoes, biscuit crumbs, cereal or egg yolk as a filler. This "delicacy" is deadly for cockroaches. Moreover, if you add the yeast you can be sure that the insects try to eat this. Trap: Put a piece of white bread soaked with beer at the bottom of a jar (cockroaches are absolutely crazy about the beer smell!!!). Tie a bandage round the neck of the jar and soak its end with beer. Put the jar on the floor...

The cat convertible cabinet will be a functional and stylish cabinet that will convert into a kitty lounge with scratching wall and cat bed.
