Are mosquitoes a problem all over the world?
11 May 2008
Question
Are mosquitoes equally bothersome all over the world or are there some areas, except the Arctic or Antarctic that get off a bit easier?
Answer
We put this question to James Logan:There's lots of different species of mosquitoes and they are found right across the world. Whether they're bothersome or not: I think they are bothersome because they all bite. If they bite humans then clearly there's a problem but in terms of diseases they don't spread diseases everywhere. For example, in the UK we don't currently have diseases spread by mosquitoes.
