Is Coronavirus carried by Mosquitoes
To our knowledge at this point very early in the Mosquito Control season, the COVID-19 virus cannot be spread by Mosquitoes. This based on an article posted by Eric Jackson, deputy director of Lee County Mosquito Control. Jackson said mosquitoes can carry a variety of viruses, but one has to evolve to be able to use a mosquito as a carrier to get the next host.
"You take virus-like dengue, that virus gets picked up by the mosquito, that virus has to get into the mosquito’s gut, eventually replicate and infect the rest of the body, make it's way up into the salivary glands, and then have that mosquito bite someone else," Jackson said.
Jackson said the warm weather and on and off the rain this winter has made mosquitoes abundant but hasn’t seen any cases of mosquito-borne diseases since early fall.
We always suggest you follow the CDC guidelines for protecting yourself
