چکیده
Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com Mosquitoes are abundant in warm, tropical and subtropical climates and linger in wet, damp, dark areas. There are 41 genera of mosquitoes; however 2 genera are implicated mostly in transmitting diseases to humans. These are Aedes and Anopheles [1]. The female Anopheles mosquito transmits malaria. The Aedes mosquito is distinguished physically from other genera because of the black and white markings on the body and legs. Aegypti is the species that is the culprit in yellow fever, zika virus infection, chikungunya, dengue and bunyamwera fever.

متن کاملThe Effects of Climate Change and Globalization on Mosquito Vectors: Evidence from Jeju Island, South Korea on the Potential for Asian Tiger Mosquito (Aedes albopictus) Influxes and Survival from Vietnam Rather Than Japan
BACKGROUND Climate change affects the survival and transmission of arthropod vectors as well as the development rates of vector-borne pathogens. Increased international travel is also an important factor in the spread of vector-borne diseases (VBDs) such as dengue, West Nile, yellow fever, chikungunya, and malaria. Dengue is the most important vector-borne viral disease. An estimated 2.5 billio...
