id=\"History_of_World_Mosquito_Day\"><\/span>History of World Mosquito Day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>World Mosquito Day honours the work of British doctor Sir Ronald Ross who discovered that mosquitoes transmitted malaria to humans in 1897. In his honour, World Mosquito Day is celebrated annually on August 20th to recognize the discovery that helped save millions of lives.<\/p>\n<p>During the early 1900s, scientists began experimenting with chemicals for killing mosquitoes. Because of these efforts, insecticide like DDT was created, which was used to kill mosquitoes that spread diseases amongst soldiers during World War II.<\/p>\n<p>Amongst all <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/different-types-of-insects\/\">types of insects<\/a><\/strong>, only mosquitoes transmit malaria. The malaria virus can be transmitted from person to person through the bite of an infected mosquito. There is a worldwide spread of this disease, particularly in Africa, where it is the leading cause of death and suffering.<\/p>\n<p>Early diagnosis and treatment of malaria can be life-saving. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/data.unicef.org\/topic\/child-health\/malaria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>UNICEF.org<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0official figures, 229 million malaria cases were reported globally in 2019, resulting in 558,000 deaths, of which 416,000 (74%) were children under 5 years old.<\/p>\n<p>According to the World Health Organization(WHO), malaria affects 241 million people yearly. Mosquito-borne diseases cannot be eradicated with a single solution, but combinations can be effective. You can reduce the spread of malaria by using mosquito nets, insecticide-treated bedding, and spraying mosquito repellent inside your home.<\/p>\n<p>World Mosquito Day reminds us of the need for continued research to develop new and improved ways to prevent and control mosquito diseases. It also talks about the steps taken to fight these diseases and the challenges that still need to be dealt with. World Mosquito Day serves as a reminder that you should protect yourself from parasites such as Malaria, Zika virus, West Nile virus, Chikungunya virus, and Dengue fever.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_World_Mosquito_Day_Important_in_2023\"><\/span>Why is World Mosquito Day Important in 2023?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mosquitoes are arguably one of the most annoying pests. Not only do they cause immense irritation, but they can also carry deadly diseases.<\/p>\n<p>World Mosquito Day 2023 is important for more reasons than you might expect. It is an excellent opportunity for everyone to get involved in initiatives that promote the control and prevention of Malaria.<\/p>\n<p>Mosquitoes play a significant role in transmitting malaria, a disease that continues to challenge global health. The discovery of malaria-causing mosquitos by British doctor Sir Ronald Ross has been instrumental in saving countless lives.<\/p>\n<p>Each year, malaria affects people of all ages of people all over the world. Malaria is caused by Plasmodium falciparum. This parasite typically causes severe malaria and death when bitten by an infected mosquito.<\/p>\n<p>World Mosquito Day 2023 encourages &amp; supports research efforts to find new treatments, vaccines, and other strategies to combat diseases.<\/p>\n<p>World Mosquito Day is a reminder of how much work still needs to be done to protect people from mosquito diseases. Furthermore, the day encourages everyone to support research efforts to find new treatments and strategies to combat mosquito bites.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1715 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/world-mosquito-day-2023.jpg\" alt=\"world mosquito day 2023\" width=\"655\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/world-mosquito-day-2023.jpg 655w, https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/world-mosquito-day-2023-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/world-mosquito-day-2023-150x99.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importance_of_Mosquitoes_in_the_Ecosystem\"><\/span><strong>Importance of Mosquitoes in the Ecosystem<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mosquitoes are <strong>essential for the ecosystem<\/strong> because they provide food for many other species, such as birds, bats, and frogs. For example, the larvae of mosquitoes are eaten by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/amphibians-classification\/\">amphibians<\/a><\/strong>, such as frogs, fish, newts, and salamanders, as food.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, mosquitoes play an <a href=\"https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/what-is-the-purpose-of-mosquitoes-in-the-ecosystem\/\"><strong>important part in the ecosystem<\/strong><\/a> through pollination. When a mosquito drinks a flower&#8217;s nectar, pollen sticks to its body. The mosquito then transfers pollen from flower to flower, helping the plant reproduce.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to female mosquitoes, male mosquitoes eat quite differently. The male mosquito feeds mostly on nectar and other plant juices. Male mosquitoes primarily consume nectar from plants, but female mosquitoes need to consume blood in order to lay their eggs.<\/p>\n<p>Male mosquitoes can survive on this little amount of food, even though it seems inadequate to sustain a large insect. They are harmless to humans and animals since they do not transmit diseases like female mosquitoes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1731 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/world-mosquito-day-1.jpg\" alt=\"world-mosquito-day\" width=\"655\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/world-mosquito-day-1.jpg 655w, https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/world-mosquito-day-1-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/world-mosquito-day-1-150x99.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Interesting_Facts_About_Mosquitoes\"><\/span>10 Interesting Facts About Mosquitoes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Worldwide, there are nearly 16,000 mosquitoes for every human.<\/li>\n<li>Unsuspecting victims can be bitten five to six times per day by female mosquitoes.<\/li>\n<li>One of the deadliest animals on Earth, mosquitoes cause the deaths of more than 725,000 people per year.<\/li>\n<li>There are more than 3,500 species of mosquitoes, but only about 6% of them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reconnectwithnature.org\/news-events\/the-buzz\/5-things-mosquitoes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>bite humans<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0The rest feed on other animals or plants.<\/li>\n<li>It is only female mosquitoes that bite, because they produce eggs from blood proteins..<\/li>\n<li>Antarctica is the only place where mosquitoes do not exist.<\/li>\n<li>A female mosquito can lay up to 300 eggs at a time.<\/li>\n<li>In some species of mosquitoes, the flight speed can reach 1.5 miles per hour.<\/li>\n<li>Mosquitoes are attracted to people because they release\u00a0carbon dioxide, lactic acid, and heat.<\/li>\n<li>The lifespan of a male mosquito is 6 or 7 days, whereas the lifespan of a female mosquito can last up to five months.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1718 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/facts-about-world-mosquito-day-410x1024.jpg\" alt=\"world mosquito day 2023\" width=\"410\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/facts-about-world-mosquito-day-410x1024.jpg 410w, https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/facts-about-world-mosquito-day-120x300.jpg 120w, https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/facts-about-world-mosquito-day-768x1920.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/facts-about-world-mosquito-day-150x375.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/facts-about-world-mosquito-day.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Following are Previous Year&#8217;s World Mosquito Day Themes<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"World_Mosquito_Day_Theme_2020\"><\/span><strong>World Mosquito Day Theme 2020<br \/>\n<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A positive message behind the theme &#8220;<strong>Malaria<\/strong>&#8221; was to raise public awareness about malaria. \u00a0It aimed to inform people about how malaria is transmitted to humans through bites from female mosquitoes.<\/p>\n<p>World Mosquito Day 2020 theme was intended to raise awareness about this disease\u2019s devastating impact and motivate action to improve prevention and treatment strategies.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"World_Mosquito_Day_Theme_2021\"><\/span><strong>World Mosquito Day Theme 2021<br \/>\n<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The theme of World Mosquito Day in 2021 was &#8220;<strong>Reaching Zero Malaria<\/strong>&#8220;.
