Imagine a tiny insect, no bigger than a fingernail, that can impact your health in significant ways. Every year, mosquitoes are responsible for transmitting diseases to millions of people, affecting communities and families worldwide in many countries.
In this blog post, we discuss the various health risks associated with mosquito-borne diseases, from Zika to Malaria, and understanding the risks associated with mosquitoes.
In South Florida, the most common mosquito-borne diseases are the Zika Virus, Chikungunya Dengue Fever. All three of these diseases have been reported in the local region with Dengue Fever being common due to the tropical climate favorable for mosquitoes carrying this disease.
Let’s discuss more about each of the most common mosquito-borne diseases.
Originally identified in Uganda, the Zika virus has spread to various parts of the world, causing significant concern, especially in pregnant women. The disease is transmitted primarily through mosquito bites and can lead to severe birth defects like microcephaly. While many infected with Zika may not exhibit symptoms, those who do might experience fever, rash, joint pain, and red eyes.
Dengue fever is common in tropical and subtropical regions like South Florida. It is notorious for its flu-like symptoms, including high fever, severe headache, and joint pain. Alarmingly, the disease can develop into more severe forms like dengue hemorrhagic fever, leading to bleeding, blood plasma leakage, and even death.
Chikungunya virus causes symptoms similar to dengue, such as fever and severe joint pain. While the mortality rate is relatively low, the pain associated with this disease can be weakening and can last for months.
Perhaps the most well-known mosquito-borne disease, Malaria, is caused by a parasite transmitted through the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Symptoms include fever, chills, and flu-like illness. Left untreated, Malaria can lead to severe health complications and even death in some cases.
