An effort to remind the public about the continuing threat of malaria and other diseases transmitted by mosquitoes.

Here is the U.S. we haven't heart much out St. Louis encephalitis in the last few years, but I'm sure its still around as the mosquitoes are still here in MO. A disease very similar to the West Nile virus which is also spread by mosquitoes.

You're right Satchamo, it probably is still around so be careful. Mosquitoes can carry a lot of bad things. I can't think of one thing that's good about them.

when I was in africa, I got malaria, from those suckers! Not funny!

The mozzies in Africa are so big we refer to them as budgies

Ok, you two have just talked me out of ever going to Africa.
