Recently, 11 researchers from Japan were awarded the Nobel Prize in Biology, according to the publication "Kuodo."
At the ceremony held in Boston, it was noted that for 19 years now, at least one Japanese scientist has been nominated for the prestigious award every year. These awards, which have been awarded traditionally since 1991, are presented by the science humor magazine Annals of Improbable Research. Its main goal is to specifically honor research that "first makes people laugh, then think."
According to a study by Japanese scientists published in 2019, cattle can be protected from mosquito attacks by drawing black and white stripes on their bodies like zebras. This method reduces significant economic losses in the livestock sector, preventing healthy grazing and injury to livestock.
According to the data, in the USA alone, about 2.2 billion dollars are spent annually on fighting mosquitoes in livestock farming. Through experiments, Japanese researchers showed that cows stained with stripes suffered 50 percent less from mosquitoes compared to ordinary cattle.
