ADVERSE EFFECTS OF MOSQUITO BREEDING IN HUMAN ENVIRONMENT

Most of us have heard and possibly seen minute organisms called mosquitoes. Most people know that mosquitoes have a tendency of sucking blood leaving itchy red bumps. However, it is important to know that these mosquitoes have a potential of causing life-threatening diseases.

Mosquitoes infect more than 700 million people every year. Mosquito menace and related consequences are considerably lesser in countries with standard hygienic conditions but in Africa, Asia and South America, the number of infections and deaths resulted of mosquito-borne diseases is countless.

The favourite breeding ground for mosquitoes comprise of wetlands, ponds, lakes, etc. They can multiply abnormally during monsoon because of humid environment and rains. There remains the threat of mosquito breeding in your vicinity if there are sources of stagnant water. Still water is most reliable source for mosquitoes to incubate their eggs. Open containers, cans, bottles, jars, etc. can all prove to be their host. It is important to understand that mosquito breeding may occur near a water source, mosquito breeding is one of the few activities that is not involved directly with a water source.
