These findings could help engineers discover the new methods of building robots and energy efficient machines that protect humans beings from mosquitoes.  

Swishing at one meter per second, an animal creates enough wind to keep nearly half of mosquitoes from landing on its rear.

The research team determined that success rate by building their own tail simulator. They placed a fan atop an acrylic cylinder filled with 10 mosquitoes, then spun the machine at different speeds to see how many insects reached the top. They got very encouraging results.

The paper, Mammals repel mosquitoes with their tails, is published recently many science Journals.
