Mosquitoes Can Transmit These Viruses
By Steve Bray | December 11, 2009
If you spend a lot of time out-of-doors, you should be aware that pesky mosquitoes can bring an array of viral diseases that could be deadly.
Most people have already heard about the correlation between mosquitoes and West Nile virus. However, there are various other diseases mosquitoes bring that unfortunately, everyone are unaware of. It is a sad fact that if the news does not report a person contracting a mosquito carried disease, most people would not even be aware these diseases even exist. Mosquitoes are one of the dirtiest & deadliest insects known to man.
A few of the viral diseases mosquitoes can bring include the following: – dengue fever – epidemic polyarthritis – Japanese encephalitis – LaCross encephalitis – Rift Valley fever – Ross River Fever – St. Louis encephalitis – West Nile virus – yellow fever
There are many more types of diseases mosquitoes can carry. These are just a few of them. Mosquitoes are also the sole cause of malaria, the world’s leading cause of premature death.
Over 5.3 million deaths happen every year because of the mosquito genus Anopheles. They are the mosquitoes that carry the malaria virus. Children under the age of 5 make up most of these fatalities.
Almost all mosquitoes are capable of carrying the filariasis worm, the cause of the disease elephantiasis. Approximately 40 million people the world over are currently dealing with some form of this disease.
Although these facts seem terrible, they are not the most terrifying part of the mosquito problem. As people age, mosquito bites are often undetected. In children, mosquito bites often cause their skin to swell up & turn red. In adults, however, they tend to build immunity to these bites.
True, some types of mosquito types can’t be ridded of; the mosquitoes can be repelled or warded off using simple mosquito repellants & nets. Keep these pests away from your body & stay healthy, to prevent catching sick from these terrible insects.
Find out the most effective methods of eradicating pest and rats from your homes or offices.
