Are Mosquitoes Getting Faster?
WouterAlmost every person has been bitten by a mosquito at some point in their lives. Mosquitoes are known to carry many different diseases, including malaria. Since 2008, cases of malaria in Europe have increased by 62%. They are also a big problem in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
The Sahel is a hot and dry climate with a short rainy season. In that area, mosquitoes are dependent on human-stored water. Global travel can provide an ideal path for the mosquitoes to spread.
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, known for their bites, are also known to spread viruses. They’re considered one of the most dangerous animals on earth. Among the diseases they spread are dengue fever, Zika, and West Nile virus.
Getting bitten by mosquitoes is one of the most common ways that people are killed. There are about 3,500 species of mosquitoes in the world. They all rely on water to survive.
There are many different ways to avoid mosquitoes. Some people use bug zappers. But that method doesn’t work for outdoor mosquitoes. Instead, they have to use bait to attract mosquitoes.
In addition, some people drink beer, which can help make them more frequent targets. It’s also possible that the smell of a person’s breath could draw mosquitoes. Some people also have a higher body temperature.
Mosquitoes prefer a warm, humid environment. In warmer climates, the mosquito season can last year-round. The warmer the temperature, the faster the insects will develop and the faster they’ll survive.
