In this slide you will know more about mosquito and the diseases they can cause.

2. Malaria is one of the deadliest mosquito-borne
diseases in the world, because according to the World Malaria
Report, in 2015 alone approximately 438 thousand people died
from this disease. And although it is crucial to continue the
fight against malaria and focus on a future in which malaria
doesn’t exist, it is also important to look back as to how
malaria came to be, because that can provide answers about
how to best combat it.
How Did Malaria Came to Be?

3. This disease that is called malaria is actually caused by a
protozoan parasite of Plasmodium genus, which lives in
mosquitoes that are of the Anopheles genus. Among
the Anopheles mosquitoes are some of the most
common mosquito species in Malaria hotspots like
Africa – the Anopheles gambiae Anopheles funestus
mosquitoes.

4. Ever since Zika virus outbreak started showing up on news
programs all over the world, we know that Zika virus is
dangerous to pregnant woman, because it can cause
microcephaly in newborns – a disease that is linked to
defects like brain damage. However, new study is indicating,
that pregnant woman shouldn’t be the only ones fearing
Zika, since it might cause symptoms like long term memory
damage and cognitive skill decline, that very much resemble
those of Alzheimer’s disease.
Zika virus linked to Alzheimer like
symptoms, study says

5. This study was done by scientists at The Rockefeller University
and La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology, who tested
the effects of Zika virus on adult’s brain on engineered mice, that
were made to resemble human Zika infection effects. They used
fluorescent bio markers to be able to see which part of the brain
the virus invades. And the results that the researchers got were
shocking and alarming.

6. The scientists deducted that the Zika virus infection actually
attacked the mice brain cells that are not yet matured in their
brain. And since these immature cells are linked to learning and
memory processes of human brain, the decline of these cells
could mean that people might experience long-term memory
damage and loss, troubles learning and remembering new
information, depression and other symptoms that actually
closely resembles how Alzheimer’s disease manifests itself.
Symptoms

7. Mosquitos are unpleasant insects, because they produce not only
ultra-annoying sound, but also bite and leave itchy, red spots on our
skin that heals quite slowly especially if you scratch them and make
them raw. But there are several remedies that you can use to ease
the itching and to help those unwelcome mosquito bites to heal
quicker.

8. There are over 3 thousand different mosquito species in the world,
but some of the mosquito species are more common and well known that
others. One of these better known mosquito species is also the aedes
aegypti mosquito or better known as the yellow fever mosquito.
Although most of the many mosquito species aren’t harmful and
don’t transmit diseases that are harmful to humans or animals, the yellow
fever mosquito is one species that you should avoid, because it is one of
the most common dengue virus transmitting mosquito species. On top of
that the yellow fever mosquito also can carry the yellow fever virus and
chiungunya virus meaning these mosquitoes are transmitters of three of
the most widespread and most dangerous mosquito borne diseases next to
malaria.
