Most malaria-carrying mosquitoes bite at night‚ so insecticide-treated mosquito nets can be a life-saving barrier”(HealthPovertyAction). These barrier nets blocks the mosquitoes from biting which also prevents the disease from spreading. Another prevention is to wear clothing that covers all parts of the skin at all times and to wear bug repellent that

These mosquitoes get the infected blood form humans and transmit to a healthy person through bites. The albopictus and aegypti types of mosquitoes are the main carrier of this infection. Few cases are found with an infected mother transferring Chikungunya to its infants. These are also clinical spread through blood transfusion

In 1803‚ US President Thomas Jefferson founded the Discovery Corps and commissioned Meriwether Lewis and William Clarke to lead the expedition to the northwestern United States. Since 1804‚ Lewis and Clark have led an arduous exploration from the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean and set foot on a 3‚700-mile journey on a manned boat. They encountered many obstacles throughout the journey‚ including extreme weather‚ animal threats‚ and poor nutrition. In one of Meriwether Lewis’s journal dairies

the OL Trap. The DOST-developed (OL) trap is a simple‚ affordable‚ and efficient tool for controlling mosquito population. An OL trap kit consists of a black container‚ a lawanit paddle where mosquitoes lay their eggs‚ and a pack of pellets used to make a solution that kills the eggs and larva of mosquitoes. Reports from dengue coordinators in schools installed with the OL trap are reflected in the monitoring map‚ which will then show areas where Aedes mosquitos settle‚ including the density of the

One difference between wild and captive capuchins is that captive capuchins don’t have to worry about mosquitoes or catching any disease from them. This is because the environment that captive capuchins live in is protected and not dangerous because there are zookeepers to keep everything safe while in the wild the capuchins can’t rely on any person.

I believe that global warming is partly natural process‚ but our industrial activities have majorly influenced the climate changes. These changes are causing extinction in some animals like the polar bears and the melting of the Arctic that causes sea levels to rise.

The average American was susceptible to many infectious diseases during the 1800’s. Because the spread of disease and pathology itself were not adequately understood until the late 1800’s(major epidemics continued to occur into the 1900’s‚ however)‚ and the practice of medicine was relatively primitive‚ the average life expectancy was very low. Many epidemics occurred in the new and thriving industrial centers of America‚ where rapid urbanization had not provided for adequate sanitation or living

As of now the Dengue does not have any vaccine but it can prevent by reducing the habitat and the number of mosquitoes and limiting exposure to bites.
