Disrupting insects' sense of smell may save crops and human lives. An international team of scientists say disrupting the ability of insects to smell the scent of food and potential mates may offer a way to protect humans from deadly diseases such as malaria and agricultural crops from pests.

Lead researcher Faisal Younus from The Australian National University (ANU) and CSIRO said, the research improved understanding of how insects process odours to find food and suitable mates.

ANU and CSIRO conducted this research with scientists at University Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC) and Institute National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA) in France.
