Monomad: Mosquitoes and the Spread of Disease
Mosquitoes are the animals most closely associated with humans. "Close" here doesn't mean establishing friendships, but rather direct contact with humans. This is because mosquitoes were created as blood-sucking insects. This demonstrates the importance of the human community to mosquitoes.
Besides humans, mosquitoes also attack animals such as cattle, goats, and cats. These animals are often among the most sought after by mosquitoes, perhaps because they share similar bloodlines with humans or for other reasons.
Furthermore, mosquitoes are also one of the most frightening causes of death worldwide. This is because mosquitoes are carriers of disease. Over thousands of mosquito species transmit diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, chikungunya, and Zika. To avoid mosquito-borne diseases, environmental cleanliness is crucial.
