MOSQUITOS OF MIAMI AND THE DISEASES THEY SPREAD A FEW FACTS Mosquitos are the DEADLIEST creatures on Earth Only female mosquitos feed on blood, males feed entirely on plant nectar Mosquitos can sense CO2 in human breath, which is how they find their prey Approximate number of identified mosquito species worldwide: 3,500 SPECIES COMMON IN MIAMI Aedes albopictus – Asian Tiger Mosquito • Can spread dengue fever and eastern equine encephalitis Anopheles quadrimaculatus – Malaria Mosquito • Most important U.S. vector of malaria • Can also spread heartworms to dogs • A single female can lay up to 3,000 eggs Coquillettidia perturbans - Iritating Mosquito • Primary vector of eastern equine encephalitis Culex nigripalpus – no official common name • Most important disease vector in Florida • Can spread West Nile virus, Saint Louis encephalitis, and dog heartworm disease DISEASES SPREAD BY FLORIDA MOSQUITOS 57 Number of West Nile virus cases West Nile virus reported in Florida so far in 2012 Number of locally acquired malaria cases reported in Florida since 1990 11 Malaria 15,000 70 L Number of reported cases in Miami's 1934 dengue fever epidemic Dengue fever Number of cases reported in Eastern equine encephalitis Florida between 1964 and 2010 380 Saint Louis encephalitis Number of cases reported in Florida between 1964 and 2010 HOW TO RECLAIM YOUR BACKYARD KILL AND REPEL MOSQUITOS Remove Sources of standing water that mosquitos need to thrive Install a mosquito misting system to continually kill and repel these biting insects • Use Pyrethrum or Permethrin to keep mosquitos out of your yard • Use Geraniol or other green products to repel mosquitos • Pyrethrum produces the "Knock Down" effect - attacks the nervous system of the insect to paralyze and kill mosquitos and no-see-ums • Provides high toxicity for insects, not for people or pets! • Enzyme-based "green" products dehydrate insects to kill them LEARN MORE Infographic Provided By: http://www.cgc gowimaiaria/about/biologyimosquito http://blogi imithiorianmag com/seienca/2011/07/14na40-fun-facts-about-majautc http://adrenture howatutfworc.com/dargerous-arimahl.htm http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/westnila/resourcea/mos_p22p44.pdr http://mosqutto taut.edu/MOnoida Mosquto Database.html PLATINUM MOSQUITO PROTECTION http://edsfos.ufledumg103 http://www.myfloridoeh.com/medicine/orboviravoofs/2010/2010Week52Aboviruskeport1_L2011.pd http://www.myfloridoen.com/medicine/orboviraUMoloria.htm http://www.cdc gov/un/tecericalepi.ntmi http://www.cdc gowjeastemeguireencephaliris/techvepi htmimap Http://www.ede gov/EaitamEguina Encaphaita http://www.co.bay flun/mosquita/akeaes php http://entnemdeptu.edulseature/aquoticmale_mosquito.htm AUTOMATIC MISTING SYSTEMS http//www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvb/westneurvscontrolCoseCount12 detaled hm http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbild/westrile/wrv_factsheet.htm www.platinummosquitoprotection.com http://web.popmb.cok.comelleduhesourceguidemtIDoyrethrumpho MOSQUITOS OF MIAMI AND THE DISEASES THEY SPREAD A FEW FACTS Mosquitos are the DEADLIEST creatures on Earth Only female mosquitos feed on blood, males feed entirely on plant nectar Mosquitos can sense CO2 in human breath, which is how they find their prey Approximate number of identified mosquito species worldwide: 3,500 SPECIES COMMON IN MIAMI Aedes albopictus – Asian Tiger Mosquito • Can spread dengue fever and eastern equine encephalitis Anopheles quadrimaculatus – Malaria Mosquito • Most important U.S. vector of malaria • Can also spread heartworms to dogs • A single female can lay up to 3,000 eggs Coquillettidia perturbans - Iritating Mosquito • Primary vector of eastern equine encephalitis Culex nigripalpus – no official common name • Most important disease vector in Florida • Can spread West Nile virus, Saint Louis encephalitis, and dog heartworm disease DISEASES SPREAD BY FLORIDA MOSQUITOS 57 Number of West Nile virus cases West Nile virus reported in Florida so far in 2012 Number of locally acquired malaria cases reported in Florida since 1990 11 Malaria 15,000 70 L Number of reported cases in Miami's 1934 dengue fever epidemic Dengue fever Number of cases reported in Eastern equine encephalitis Florida between 1964 and 2010 380 Saint Louis encephalitis Number of cases reported in Florida between 1964 and 2010 HOW TO RECLAIM YOUR BACKYARD KILL AND REPEL MOSQUITOS Remove Sources of standing water that mosquitos need to thrive Install a mosquito misting system to continually kill and repel these biting insects • Use Pyrethrum or Permethrin to keep mosquitos out of your yard • Use Geraniol or other green products to repel mosquitos • Pyrethrum produces the "Knock Down" effect - attacks the nervous system of the insect to paralyze and kill mosquitos and no-see-ums • Provides high toxicity for insects, not for people or pets!
