Molecular Sabotage: How Garlic Turns Off the Mating Switch in Mosquitoes

Yale researchers have identified diallyl disulfide in Garlic as a molecular trigger that inhibits insect mating by activating the TrpA1 sensory receptor. This discovery offers a scientific foundation for developing non-toxic, sustainable bio-repellents to control disease-carrying pests like mosquitoes and tsetse flies.
