Zika May Spread from the Aedes Species to 35 More We often worry about the Zika virus spreading among the human population, but have you thought about it spreading to include more species of mosquitoes? Most scientists and researchers allocate the spread of the Zika virus to two particular species of mosquitoes: Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. According to a recent forecasting model and mathematical analysis done by the researchers at the University of Georgia, the virus could spread to as many as 35 species. Of the 35 species that may be able to transmit the virus, seven are currently found in the United States. Background of the Aedes Species The Aedes species is known for currently transmitting not only the Zika virus, but also dengue fever, yellow fever, West Nile virus, Chikungunya and eastern equine encephalitis. The species was originally found in tropical and subtropical areas because of their warm and wet...

How Mosquitoes Spread Disease – Under the Microscope Mosquitoes are not simply just a nuisance; they also can carry and transmit infectious diseases that are harmful to our health. The Zika virus, dengue fever and Chikungunya are just a few of the most well-known diseases that mosquitoes can carry. Mosquito-borne illnesses are a constant threat and are putting our population at risk for outbreaks. Scientists and researchers are using mathematical models to better understand how mosquitoes spread diseases, and to calculate the risk of infectious outbreaks in various climates and environments. The Facts According to research professionals, mathematical models can help them understand how mosquitoes spread diseases by gaining a thorough understanding of how mosquito development, survival and behavior are influenced by different environmental variables. Once mosquitoes are hatched, males usually survive less than one week, while female mosquitoes can live up to a couple of months in ideal conditions. For females, they...
