Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are notorious for being more than just a nuisance; they pose significant health risks as vectors of numerous diseases. These tiny insects are responsible for transmitting pathogens that cause illnesses such as malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, and West Nile virus. Their bites can introduce these pathogens into the bloodstream, leading to severe health complications and, in some cases, even death. The global impact of mosquito-borne diseases is profound, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions where these insects are most prevalent. Efforts to control mosquito populations and prevent bites are crucial in mitigating the spread of these potentially deadly diseases.

Not all mosquitoes are the same.
Different mosquitoes spread different viruses and bite at different times of the day.
