It is not swarms of mosquitos, but isolated individual mosquitos that can, and do, get inside homes when doors or windows are left open for even a few moments. Once inside the home, the mosquito biting anyone with Zika will then carry the virus to the next person they bite. Forget “swarms” inside homes; be concerned about what one mosquito can do.
This virus will be spread more by people who have the virus and transmitting sexually than by mosquitos. The carriers are on their way to cross the border as we speak.
Already confirmed a case in Dallas from sexual contact.
With open borders, this problem is going to get a lot worse. Let’s hope the CDC does better than they did on the Ebola crisis.
I’m confused – how does open borders play into this issue? Mosquitoes can fly – you know that, right?
Sorry, but I cannot make sense of this article.
“Aggressive abatement involving indoor and outdoor fogging and breeding ground eradication between 1947 and 1970 nearly wiped out Aedes aegypti.”
“We know fogging is not effective,” Vazquez-Prokopec said.
Huh?
And who exactly has swarms of mosquitos living in their home?
