Q: What diseases can they transmit?

A: They can transmit several diseases to humans, including malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, West Nile virus, chikungunya, and yellow fever. These diseases can cause a range of symptoms, from mild discomfort to severe illness, and in some cases, they can be life-threatening.

Q: How can I protect myself?

A: You can take the following measures:

• Apply an EPA-approved insect repellent on exposed skin and clothing to keep mosquitoes away.
• Wear protective clothing: Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and socks to cover exposed skin.
• They are most active during dawn and dusk, so try to stay indoors during these times.
• They breed in stagnant water, so empty or change the water in outdoor containers, clean clogged gutters, and avoid leaving standing water around your home.
