WORLD MOSQUITO DAY - 20^TH AUGUST

"A small mosquito bite can lead to big threats. Mosquito bite can be deadly as it can cause life threatening diseases such as Malaria, Dengue, Chikungunya, Japanese  Encephalitis, Filariasis and Yellow Fever."

 

World Mosquito Day is observed on 20^th August every year globally. This day is in commemoration of Sir Ronald Ross, a doctor by profession, who discovered in 1897, that female mosquitoes transmit malaria amongst humans.

These diseases can be effectively prevented provided each one of us develop awareness and practice these measures. We should also support government initiatives for this cause. A small positive step can prevent such epidemics.

 

Interesting facts about mosquitoes from National Geographic:

1. Mosquitoes are carriers for some of humanity’s most deadly illnesses, including malaria, west nile virus, yellow fever, dengue fever and encephalitis.
   
2. There are more than 3,000 species of mosquitoes but three are primarily responsible for the spread of human diseases: (1) Anopheles mosquitoes carry malaria and also transmit filariasis (also called elephantiasis) and encephalitis. (2) Culex mosquitoes carry encephalitis, filariasis, and the West Nile virus. (3)Aedes mosquitoes carry yellow fever, dengue, and encephalitis.
   
3. Mosquitoes use exhaled carbon dioxide, body odors and temperature, and movement to home in on their victims.
   
4. Only female mosquitoes have the mouth parts necessary for sucking blood.
   
5. Female mosquitoes use the blood not for their own nourishment but as a source of protein for their eggs. For food, both males and females eat nectar and other plant sugars.
   
6. All mosquitoes need water to breed, so eradication and population-control efforts usually involve removal or treatment of standing water sources.
   
7. Insecticide spraying to kill adult mosquitoes is also widespread.
