Yellow Fever Mosquito

Hundreds of millions of people fall sick each year due to diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever, and chikungunya - all carried by mosquitoes. It seems counterintuitive, then, that a plan to eradicate mosquitoes would involve breeding more of them - but that's exactly what Google's parent compant, Alphabet, is doing.

On World Malaria Day 2018 let's see why mosquitoes are considered as one of the most dangerous creatures on the planet because tend to spread many deadly diseases.

Every week, scientists in southern China release 3 million bacteria-infected mosquitoes on a 3 km (two-mile) long island in a bid to wipe out diseases such as dengue, yellow fever and Zika.

As Europe and the United States brace for the likely arrival of the Zika virus from Latin America this summer, experts warn global warming may accelerate the spread of mosquito-borne disease.

A yellow fever outbreak in Angola that began late last year has killed 158 people, up from 50 a month ago, as deaths from the disease transmitted by mosquitoes accelerate, a World Health Organisation official said today.

Dengue is transmitted by several species of mosquito within the Aedes aegypti, which originate in Africa but which are now present in all tropical and subtropical areas.

Mosquitoes can transmit a number of diseases, including malaria, yellow fever etc. Insect repellents containing the chemical DEET (N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide) are more effective mosquito deterrents than other synthetic repellents or plant-derived products.
