有关蚊子的知识

蚊子通常被认为是令人讨厌的害虫,但偶尔也会传播疾病。一些种类的蚊子可能传播引起疾病的病毒,这些病毒不是从其他动物传播到人类或从人类传播到动物的。目前没有这些病毒的人类疫苗,但您可以采取简单的措施来减少蚊子叮咬和降低感染风险。

西尼羅河病毒 (West Nile virus)

西尼羅河病毒是一種在多數情況下感染鳥類的疾病。該疾病是通過蚊子在鳥類中 傳播的。蚊子在叮咬了被感染的鳥後染上該病毒,然後又把該病毒傳染給其他的 鳥類、動物,或人。這些蚊子有時會叮人,但是多數人不會病得很厲害。在某些 人中,西尼羅河病毒可以引起腦炎,或者是腦子腫大。

减少房屋和院子周围的蚊子

蚊子通過在積水中產卵來進行繁殖。蚊子可以在任何過去四天內形成的積水裏進行生長。甚至一小桶積水都可以成為 1,000 只蚊子的窩。

雄性蚊子只以花蜜和水為食。 只有雌性蚊子才會叮人
