Warming temperatures are creating new habitats for species that spread deadly viruses like malaria and dengue fever. A combination of simple practical steps and revolutionary scientific techniques can help keep them at bay.

A common topic of conversation amongst my neighbors is how you can't even be in our yards because of the surge in mosquitoes this year.
Aedes aegypti needs to disappear from the face of the earth
Oh, man, we got those in my area just a few years ago, and they're now the only ones we see. They're so horrible! The bite any time of the day, they bite multiple times, and they leave the most horrid welts.
Yep they're awful. Supposedly they carry the nasty diseases too. Good times all around
Yeah, and they're so hard to get rid of. The kind we used to have would lay a bunch of eggs in one thing or water, like a flower pot or a bucket or something. If you dumped all that kind of thing out, you'd get rid of them. But these will lay a few eggs here and the in tiny amounts of water, like a cup-shaped leaf that's sprayed by a sprinkler. And if it dries out before the eggs hatch, they'll last a very long time until that spot is wet again. It seems impossible to get rid of them.
capitalists need to disappear from the face of the earth, the rest will work itself out eventually.
Why are you booing him? He's right!
im kind of agreeing with him because he is right
and adding that if we want any solutions we have to deal with the root causes.
Oh, I meant booing you (at the time you had more downvotes than upvotes). I agree on root cause
