Bugs, even 'bad' ones, can be educationally beneficial, new book says

...0 years later. Such destruction has led people to devise various methods to exterminate bad bugs. "The least creative way to get rid of bad bugs is by using insecticides," Waldbauer said. Biological control, a practice in which natural predators are introduced, is a more creative and effective way to cont...

Disabling gene defuses rheumatoid arthritis in mice
