mosquito-borne illnesses
Insect-spread tropical fevers
Diseases transmitted to humans through mosquito bites.
When an infected mosquito feeds on blood, it can transfer pathogens—typically viruses or parasites—into the bloodstream.
Malaria, dengue fever, Zika, West Nile virus, and yellow fever are among the most significant.
These illnesses affect hundreds of millions annually, concentrated in tropical and subtropical regions where mosquito populations thrive.
