Mosquitoes and the Hazardous Infections Spread by them

Abstract

Maria Albertin

The world's enormous relationship between fauna and flora today is caused by many things, including the largest ever increase in population and the expansion of transportation infrastructure. These forces break down boundaries in biogeography, causing species to first appear in unfamiliar environments. The Americas are expected to suffer damage worth more than $120 billion annually as a result of these species' invasion. Pandemics and epidemics caused by arthropods have the potential to spread lethal viruses and parasites, posing a threat to the world's expanding human and animal populations.
