People who spend a lot of time out of doors should be conscious that pesky mosquitoes can bring a range of virus-caused diseases that could be life threatening.
Even though most people have already heard about the correlation between mosquitoes & West Nile virus, there are many other diseases mosquitoes carry that the general population does not know about. Sadly, if the news does not report a person contracting a mosquito transmitted disease, most people wouldn’t even know the existence of these diseases at all. Mosquitoes are one of the deadliest & dirtiest insects known to man.
The following is a list of some of the viral diseases mosquitoes can carry: - dengue fever - epidemic polyarthritis - Japanese encephalitis - LaCross encephalitis - Rift Valley fever - Ross River Fever - St. Louis encephalitis - West Nile virus - yellow fever
These are just a few of the many other types of diseases mosquitoes can carry. Mosquitoes are also the sole cause of malaria, the world’s leading cause of premature death.
The mosquito genus Anopheles cause over 5.3 million deaths to occur each year. They are the mosquitoes that bring the malaria virus. Children under the age of five make up most of these fatalities.
Nearly all mosquitoes are capable of carrying the filariasis worm, the cause of the disease elephantitis. Approximately 40 million people around the planet are currently dealing with some form of this disease.
Even though these statistics seem scary, they are not the most dreaded part of the mosquito problem. As people age, mosquito bites are often undetected. In children, mosquito bites often cause their skin to swell up and turn red. In adults, however, they tend to build resistance to these bites.
True, some types of mosquito types can’t be obviated; the mosquitoes can be repelled or warded off using simple mosquito nets and repellants. Keep these creatures away from your body & stay healthy, to prevent catching sick from these terrible insects.
