Mosquito Control Conversation in the Wake of U.S. Malaria Cases
Posted by Mosquito Squad
December 20, 2023
The need for mosquito control and protection measures are highlighted after locally contracted malaria cases are reported for the first time in 20 years.
Malaria is the very disease which gives mosquitoes their designation of deadliest animals in the world. And because this illness is potentially fatal, hearing about locally spread cases in Texas and Florida late last month, has folks researching ways to protect their families from mosquito bites. It is not likely that Tennessee will be numbered among the states that have local malaria cases, but there are other diseases, some fatal, which we must be aware of. Eastern equine encephalitis, for one, Zika, West Nile, and dengue for three more!
Brentwood Mosquito Control an EPA-Registered Mosquito Fighter
Malaria was declared eradicated in the United States by the then-director of the Communicable Disease Center (now known as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), Dr. Clarence Smith. On November 29, 1949, Dr. Smith made the official announcement that the United States had successfully eradicated malaria as a significant public health problem. The declaration was based on several years of sustained efforts and the absence of locally transmitted cases of malaria in the country. This achievement marked a significant milestone in the battle against malaria in the United States.
Now the bad news. Malaria is back. This week, headlines trumpeted the "return" of malaria: four cases in Florida and one in Texas. More significant is that the CDC reported that all five cases are not linked to international travel. That means there was local transmission of the disease.
