There are several diseases that can be transmitted by a mosquito’s bite and the cases of mosquito-borne disease are a growing public health threat. Warming climates lead to more outbreaks of mosquito-borne illness. Mosquito-borne illness often causes only mild symptoms but they can lead to more serious symptoms called neuroinvasive diseases -that can be fatal as there is no effective treatments against them. North American mosquito diseases include: West Nile Virus, La Crosse Virus and Eastern Equine and St. Louis Encephalitis. Ways to prevent mosquito bites include using mosquito repellent, empty standing water near your home, wear light-colored clothing and stay indoors during dusk and dawn.
