Every society has certain norms to follow called the culture. This culture has affection in a way the people respond to certain issues, for example, climate change. Adger and Neil with others came up with the article to explain how cultural dimension and the climate change impacts the way the people live adapt to the environment/in the article, the authors have analyzed the various researches done in social sciences and to prove that the climate change poses a great impact towards cultural dimensions.

Bourtzis, Kostas, et al. "Harnessing mosquito–Wolbachia symbiosis for vector and disease control."
Acta Tropica 132 (2014): S150-S163.
Mosquitoes are among the most dangerous insects that cause diseases to human beings like malaria. Therefore, there have been efforts to control the number of the insects by harnessing.
In the past, the symbionts have been seen to take more part in the ecology and biology of the insect species. A renowned symbiont is Wolbachia, which has been found to be able to interfere with the pathogens. The symbiont also is used to suppress the population of the insects by use of sterile insect technique
By use of the following techniques to harness mosquitoes, human beings are able to be free from malaria thus reducing deaths too.
