Health & Disease
West Nile Virus is only one of the many "new" Mosquito borne diseases affecting the United States and especially the semi-tropical areas of Houston, Katy, Sugar Land, Bellaire, West University, Cinco Ranch, Richmond, Missouri City, Sienna Plantation and surrounding areas. Mosquitos cause more human suffering than any other organism with over one million people dying from mosquito-borne diseases every year. Mosquito vectored diseases include protozoan diseases, i.e. malaria, filarial diseases such as dog heartworm and viruses such as west nile, dengue, encephalitis and yellow fever. In Asia more than 50,000 cases of Japanese encephalitis (JE) are reported annually. Yellow fever, dengue and malaria once were prevalent in the United States, but now they are rare. During 1997 and 1998 CDC reported 143 cases of laboratory diagnosed dengue in the US and less than 1200 malaria cases were reported. More recently, West Nile virus (WNV) was the causative agent in 7 deaths among 62 infections in New York City in 1999. This was the first reported case in North America of predominantly African, Middle East and Southeast Asia flavivirus and has now been reported as far south as Florida and Louisiana.
Diseases
Many kinds of mosquitoes do not spread disease, but they leave behind itchy, puffy "bites." Many mosquitoes that are associated with disease live in hot, moist lands near the equator. But disease-carrying mosquitoes can be anywhere in the world.
