(Reuters) - An Indian official looks at the specimen of mosquitoes kept at a mosquito museum in New Delhi October 5, 2005. Tucked away in a small corner of India's National Institute of Communicable Diseases are 100,000 mosquitoes, plague-hit rats, guinea worms and wild birds infected with Japanese Encephalitis. Better known as the 'Mosquito Museum', it is the oldest and largest such collection in South and Southeast Asia, formally set up in 1938 and still used in fighting killer disease outbreaks.
