Where in the world are Mosquitos a general concern to the population?

Question

I'm trying to find areas in the world where Mosquitos are considered a pest issue...they are native to just about every country

Answer 1

Although health issues related to mosquito-borne disease are a major concern in many tropical or semi-tropical areas, mosquitoes are definitely a concern even in areas where the diseases are not present.

It might almost be easier to compile areas where mosquitoes aren't a concern.

In the Northern Hemisphere, mosquitoes are found even above the Arctic Circle. During the summer months the long daylight hours and abundant pools of standing water (from snow melt) contribute to huge populations of mosquitoes. Even though these mosquitoes don't carry malaria or yellow fever, they are definitely a major concern to anyone (or anything) that lives in the north. Major outbreaks can actually cause significant mortality to livestock and wildlife through blood loss and exhaustion from constant biting.

About the only place mosquitoes aren't a concern is deep in the high desert, such as the middle of the Sahara or Gobi desert, or out on the frozen glaciers of Antarctica.

There are also a few isolated islands deep in the Pacific that do not (yet) have mosquitoes or other biting flies present. Fiji is one of these islands.

Answer 2

It needs to be a place with lots of open water, better for mosquito larval development if it's stagnant, and quite warm. Southern USA and into the tropics, tropical Africa, tropical Asia, etc. You can find out about specific countries from World Health Organization and from US Embassy health alerts.

Answer 3

Louisiana, due to all the marshland and waterways. We pay mosquito control companies to come around and spray our neighborhoods to combat the problem. Mosquitos also transmit heartworms to animals, not to mention the recurring cases of West Nile Virus in humans.

Answer 5

it truly is type of like asserting, are you able to educate tangible evidence that your mom who handed on to the great beyond loved you? My educate is that you nevertheless have a uncommon few politicians, like Dennis Kucinich, Ron Paul, and Bernie Sanders, who're keen to step outdoors the norm and talk from the gut. i imagine Sanders is actual in touch with operating-type people, i imagine Paul is very in touch with taxation and spending, and that i imagine Kucinich is, properly, Kucinich. They get on talk exhibits except on CNN and FOX and talk instantly, not in words of partisanship, not towing their party line, yet speaking on to the target market, utilising info, common sense, and something uncommon in Washington, honesty. As such, they have all been seen kooks who danger their reputations and, via extension, their careers on an favourite foundation. previous those 3, i am going to't imagine of all and sundry else at present. Obama is articulate and charismatic, yet I genuinely have not began to work out him particularly take a personal danger on something, i do not remember him frustrating his personal party on something, and that i do not see him giving a extreme project to the competition's stonewalling. He performs politics, and that is disappointing, because leaders lead, they don't only "play the game" and flow round in circles.
