The Canadian government supported field and lab work to protect troops in the tundra from deadly bites, noting mosquitoes can be killers in swampy Arctic regions. Brown describes mosquitoes homing in on heat and moisture and experiments with robotic breathing rigs yielding attacks at 200 per minute, highlighting global efforts to curb these pests.
