mosquito-borne diseases
Bug-bite spread sicknesses
Diseases transmitted to humans through mosquito bites.
The insects carry pathogens—viruses, parasites, or bacteria—that enter the bloodstream when a mosquito feeds.
Major examples include malaria, dengue fever, Zika, West Nile virus, and yellow fever.
These diseases kill hundreds of thousands annually, predominantly in tropical regions where mosquito populations thrive year-round.
