Geography Matters Global Distribution of Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes

Understanding Climate, Season, Habitat, Populations, and More

Different mosquitos can carry different diseases

• Aedes

- Chikungunya

- Dengue fever

- Rift Valley fever

- Yellow fever

- Zika

http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs387/en/

• Anopheles

- Malaria

• Culex

- Japanese encephalitis

- Lymphatic filariasis

- West Nile fever

There are many kinds of vectors

and the workflows can be

similar: sandflies, ticks, fleas,

black flies, Tsetse flies and more

Challenge Many Vectors…Unified Response

Need Protect the Health of Residents

• Performing surveillance

• Responding to public requests

• Delivering interventions in the form of

treatments or controls

• Communicating through public outreach and

education
