Researchers map mosquitoes that transmit Zika and Dengue by county
Description: The mosquitoes known as Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus transmit arboviruses that are increasing threats to human health in the Americas, particularly dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses. Therefore, accurate and up-to-date information for the geographical ranges of these mosquitoes have been urgently needed to guide surveillance and enhance control capacity for these mosquitoes. A new journal article features maps of counties in the United States where these mosquitoes have been recorded. [Source: Science / AAAS]
