Wednesday August 20th is World Mosquito Day - and it may seem strange to set aside a day for an insect which accounts for around a million deaths a year. Nearly 700 million people contract mosquito-borne illnesses every year. The mosquitoes act as vectors, carrying bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause illness in humans. Malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, Zika virus, West Nile virus, and Japanese encephalitis are some of the most prominent diseases spread by mosquitoes. Things have improved, however - according to one survey, nearly half the world population was at significant risk from malaria in the 19th century with a 10% mortality among those infected. Today, it's feared global warming could potentially lead to a wider spread of mosquito-borne diseases due to increased mosquito populations and geographic range. Professor Beth McGraw is the head of biology at Penn State University in the US - she admits having a special day for such a killer seems odd at first glance.

Le zanzare producono sempre più preoccupazione per la sanità pubblica. L'aumento delle aree colpite da West Nile, il verificarsi ormai costante di casi autoctoni di dengue e chikungunya, fanno riflettere sugli effetti che i cambiamenti climatici ed il sempre maggiore movimento di uomini e merci possono avere sulla salute. Dopo aver sconfitto la malaria con la scomparsa delle zanzare anofeli dal nostro territorio pensavamo che la partita fosse chiusa. Invece è più che mai aperta. La presenza di zanzare Aedes (la zanzara tigre) rendono possibile lo stabilirsi di malattie da sempre considerate "tropicali". Ovviamente la domanda da un milione di dollari è: possono le zanzare avere un ruolo in una prossima pandemia? Le pandemie hanno da sempre accompagnato la storia dell'uomo, ma la frequenza con cui oggi si verificano non ha precedenti. Di zanzare e pandemie parleremo in questa puntata del podcast. Buon ascolto!
