Aedes

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT Aedes albopictus is considered to be the most invasive mosquito species in the world (1, 2) and there is an increased potential for its introduction into mainland Australia given the established populations discovered, since 2005, in the Torres Strait, the region that sandwiches between Papua New Guinea (PNG) and northern Australia (3). The aedine mosquito species have been culpably involved in the transmission cycles of pathogens of public health importance (1). Aedes albopictus is

Aedes mosquitos are dangerous invasive species and disease vectors who originally came from Asian tropical territories. Due to the global change of the climate, it became possible for Aedes mosquitos to habitat in many suitable for them territories (1). Aedes albopictus is one of the 2, which had adjusted to most of the places in the world with warm enough climate to survive. The major reason that this species has massively invaded worldwide, is due to their plasticity (2). Another threatening species

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. The Native Hawaiian bird population is particularly prone to mosquitoes and other foreign pests because of how isolated Hawaii is from the rest of the world. Native Hawaiian birds outside of the range of mosquitoes at

The Yellowing of Philadelphia Yellow fever is non-contagious viral disease transmitted to humans by the Aedes or the Haemagogus species of mosquitoes. Yellow fever is known for affecting humans, but also monkeys and many other animals. The disease mainly occurs in parts of Africa and South America, however, only some countries in Africa and South America have actually had Yellow fever outbreaks. These countries sporadic outbreaks occur almost exclusively to forestry and agricultural workers

disappeared. The mild fever and the skin rash will disappear after the Zika has left, signifying that the Zika is gone. Although there is no cure,you could be helped by some pain medication. The virus spreads when an infected person get bitten by an Aedes mosquito, and then that mosquito bites another person, then both of those people are infected, as well as the mosquito. Although Zika has been spreading very quickly, only about one in five people actually become sick. Brazil is where the first case

Dengue fever is a viral infection that is spread by the tiger mosquito (Aedes Aegypti). It has black and yellow strips and usually bites in the early morning or at dawn. The virus enters and breeds in white blood cells. Symptoms typically start appearing five to eight days after being ill. The virus has five diverse styles of increasing severity. Infection with one category gives lifetime immunity to it and short-term immunity to the other categories. The dengue virus isn 't transmittable and can

Zika is a virus that is rapidly being spread mostly by the bite of the Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. These mosquitoes lay eggs in or around standing water. This disease has been seen in many parts of the world such as Bolivia, Brasil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Suriname, Venezuela, and the United States. Zika has been seen in primates for several years in Uganda since 1947. Five years later, the virus was seen in humans (CDC.gov). The earliest large outbreak

The Zika Virus When people think of the word ‘epidemic’, they generally imagine a widespread disease that threatens humanity as a whole. While most of the hysteria associated with pandemics stem purely from fiction, it can be understandable why people always fear the worst. That is why when an outbreak of the Zika Virus was reported in the United States, an overall feeling of malaise set in. As of September 21, 2016, a total of 3,358 cases of the Zika Virus have been reported (“Center for Disease

Floris van Breugel put Aedes Aegypti ( female mosquitoes that carry diseases) in a wind tunnel. At the other end of the wind tunnel he put a human figure at the other end to see if it would attract the mosquito. No mosquitos came until the pumped carbon dioxide into the air as soon as he kept pumping carbon dioxide into the air they became so close to the dark spot that the carbon dioxide couldn't reach them that close to the floor. In Breugel other experiments, he found when placing a warm dark

are working to reduce its spread worldwide. 2) Zika is a contagious virus that can be transmitted through both mosquito-to-person, and person-to-person interaction. a) Mosquito to person interaction i) Two-thirds of the world’s population lives in Aedes infested areas (Ibrahim, 2). ii) In urban and suburban regions, Zika is generally transmitted in a human-mosquito-human cycle.
