Do all the species of mosquitoes your talking about feed on humans, and do they carry malaria?
- AlotOfReading 5y agoYes and yes?
- Turing_Machine 5y agoNo, they don't. The (many) species of mosquito found in the Arctic do not carry malaria. Malaria is largely a tropical and subtropical disease.
- AlotOfReading 5y agoAvian malaria is endemic to Alaska, and both Finland, and Siberia formerly had endemic human malaria, especially the more southern regions. Something up there is definitely capable of being a vector for it.
- learc83 5y agoBut is malaria a big enough problem in the arctic to bother targeting the mosquito species there that could carry malaria? From a quick Google search, I'm guessing no.
