Aegypti Borne Diseases: A Summary

The one thing that could keep me inside on a nice summer’s day is the threat of mosquitoes. Where they bite me, I swell up and itch for days afterwards. It’s a hard choice between slathering myself in nasty smelling insect repellant or staying inside. Sometimes even with the insect repellant I still get bit. To add insult to injury, they sometimes get in the house and attack me. They seem to be an annoyance I can’t escape. I’m lucky that the mosquitoes that bite me don’t carry dangerous diseases like the ones in other counties. Daniel Engber who wrote the article “Let’s Kill All the Mosquitoes” has the solution to our problem. He makes a great argument to kill the dangerous mosquitoes and it’s very well supported with credible sources.

No one would have ever thought that a little bitty bug, with a painless bite could cause so much harm. This deadly virus was going around for awhile until it suddenly disappeared for about 20 years, causing everyone to make false assumptions that it was gone forever. Mosquitoes, the pesky bugs, will sooner, rather then later, become a threat once again.

Since there isn't a real cure for the disease except for hope, vaccination becomes even more important to the people because it is the only prevention for the disease. Mosquito repellents, full covering clothing and

This disease can kill someone and mosquitoes are the ones that carry it. Lots and lots of people were getting it, but George said that if we don’t think about it that maybe, just maybe, nobody in our family will get it. We know that there is always a chance, but we can always hope for the best.

Man can capture an elephant, train a lion, and totally obliterate a species from this earth. If man can do all that surely he will have dominion over something as small and meek as a mosquito. The Yellow Fever epidemic of 1793 proved this notion to be false as this disease, transmitted solely by the bite of a female mosquito, wiped out one tenth of Philadelphia’s population in four months. Some make the mistake of seeing this as an isolated event but this epidemic was as far-reaching as the disease itself since it forever changed America’s Government, public health system and African American community.

On Wednesday August 24 protestors showed their dismay at the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District plans to release genetically modified mosquitoes into Key Haven, Florida, a small town in Key West, to try to control the quickly spreading Zika virus. The article “In Florida Keys, Some Worry About ‘Science and Government’ More Than Zika” written by Lizzette Alvarez talks about how the people of Key West, Florida feel about becoming a “science experiment”.

THE ACTUAL mosquito-borne Zika trojan, that has spread to be able to 22 international locations in addition to territories in the Americas, is scary to be able to expecting mothers in addition to the associates. The herpes virus might result in birth problems in babies in whose mother had been attacked while in having a baby. Throughout Brazil over four, 000 happen to be blessed having extraordinarily smaller minds considering that very last July, in contrast to lower than two hundred within a usual 12 months. The actual result associated with numerous authorities provides brought on a new controversy in relation to abortion, contraceptive in addition to making love education and learning which could outlast this herpes outbreak per se.

"You wouldn't need this for your most exceedingly awful foe," Kathy Potter disclosed to Fox 6

The new mosquitos contain a gene that produces high levels of a protein that stops their cells from functioning normally, ultimately killing them.” And “While similar releases in Florida are years away, some locals have already reacted forcefully. One activist gathered 100,000 signatures on a petition to oppose using the mosquitoes in eradication efforts.” But their concerns are ““What if these mosquitoes bite my boys or my dogs? What will they do to the ecosystem?”

Mosquitoes are the host to many diseases the pose a threat to humans, domestic animals, and wildlife. Endemic birds are the most affected by the transmission of avian diseases through mosquitoes. Controlling the mosquito popular is key in bringing back the native bird population.

There are many reasons to justify our fears against Zombies insects because some diseases brings by insects pose serious problem to public health. The insects bite and kill many people in the world because Zombies insects are the agents some viruses in the nature. For example, ticks are the leading carriers (vectors) of diseases to humans in the United States, second only to mosquitoes worldwide. In most circumstances, it is not the tick bite but the toxins, secretions, or organisms in the tick's saliva transmitted through the bite that cause disease, some of which are capable of transmitting infections, and also,in particular, paralyses all the body. Next one, the Zika virus. The first cases were reported in Brazil last May with up to 1.5 million people now thought to be affected by the virus which is spread by mosquitoes endemic to Latin

West Niles Virus is a virus that is transmitted from mosquito to aves and mammals via infected mosquito bites and is prevalent within most of the Continental United States. It is reported that, “40 states have recorded cases of West Nile Virus” (Jolly par. 4). The complications with mosquito bites is problematic because of the spread of disease is due to the infected mosquitos and there is a need to implement a control systems to decreased swarms of mosquitos, in particular within Maricopa County. This cause is important because I have recently been diagnosed as having West Niles Virus. There is no current vaccination for humans against the West Niles Virus, the only way to reduce chances of contracting the virus would be through prevention

This article focuses on the outbreak of the Zika virus, which has recently begun spreading across the world with an emphasis on Latin American countries Brazil and Colombia. There are currently over 26,000 people who have been confirmed as infected with the virus in Colombia alone and this number is expected to rise dramatically to about 600,000 within the coming months considering the location and altitude of the countries and the frequency of their carrier mosquito. The virus has no vaccine yet; all prevention methods are focused on controlling the mosquitos spreading the disease by promoting proper sanitation regarding dirty water storage and accumulated trash. Among the people infected is 16-year-old Angie Paola Castro, one of 3,177 women

The most recent outbreak of the West Nile virus was last reported in Southern California. There has already been three deaths around the San Diego area. California has been testing dead birds and the mosquito population. San Diego has been hit with 80 percent of mosquito’s which have been testing positive for West Nile Virus. Officials in the San Diego area, recommend that victims of the virus communicate with others, as most express that they feel no appreciable symptoms. The deaths are more likely to occur in elderly victims and those with weakened immune systems face a greater chance of developing severe symptoms, which may require

Many scientists all around have heard of a virus before, but not as infectious as the zika virus. This virus can ruin a little infant. But one truism statement about this virus, which freaks out scientists, is that it is carried by mosquitos. Terrible isn't it? If I were you, I would think to myself what will make this virus restrain itself? Well in order to stop it the best solution is to splat the mosquitos; because well let's face it, mom's little children that have been born wouldn't want to have a small head and a big body. Lots of people came back with this virus but the devastated citizens didn't notice this virus coming to
