It wasn't until the last century did humans became aware of the role played by mosquitoes in spreading a host of diseases. The mosquito is a small insect capable of flying over small distances and feeds on human and animal blood in order to reproduce and multiply. These mosquitoes are attracted towards animal herds and human dwellings by various senses such as smell and the warmth of the body. These creatures prefer dark regions to hide and are usually seen in swarms. They require standing water to multiply as their larval forms appear like tiny worms which are best suited to an aquatic environment. It has been found that generally the female mosquitoes attack organisms in search of blood to feed their young ones.

Research has found that numerous ailments are dispersed and communicate by these tiny creatures. The diseases include infectious diseases such as malaria, dengue and other such illnesses. An infection termed malaria is seen in tropical regions and is spread by the female anopheles mosquito. This disease can be fatal in some instances where the patient is not treated. High body temperatures and shivering during the night are some symptoms of this illness. Another similar illness is dengue that is equally serious and many efforts are being taken by international agenises to combat this issue.
