According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), last year local mosquitoes transferred 222 cases of Zika virus, 216 in Miami, FL alone! Federal Funds have been approved for defense and research, to the tune of $1.1 Billion dollars, and while particularly in South Florida this helps to get ahead of any potential concerns, it will not totally protect residents from this threat. Aedes Aegypti, the breed of mosquito known for transmitting the virus, can also be linked to West Nile Virus, Dengue Fever, Chickungunya Fever, as well as Eastern Equine Encephalitis.
