Aedes aegypti- They are the main type of mosquito that spread Zika, dengue, chikungunya, and other viruses.
Because Ae. aegypti mosquitoes live near and prefer to feed on people,
they are more likely to spread these viruses than other types of mosquitoes.

Aedes albopictus- They can live in a broader temperature range and at cooler temperatures than Ae. aegypti.
Because these mosquitoes feed on animals as well as people, they are less likely to spread viruses like Zika, dengue, chikungunya and other viruses.

"Maps do not represent risk for spread of disease."

Second words: health exam for everyone coming into the country. Esp foreign nationals from high risk countries. Ill people get sent back, or quarantined until healed. IF it is not healable they go back.

The name for this is PUBLIC HEALTH procedures.

In the ‘60s or early ‘70s, there was a public service ad, something to the effect, “Help stop the hitchhiking bug.” Or something like that.

We’re so much smarter than our fathers...not.
