Still John, the loss is sad.

Malaria is a parasite and not a virus. There are Trypanosomes still to be found here but they do not infect humans. They can be found in the blood streams of reptiles and amphibians though they are a different species of the Tr species that causes Malaria in humans. So the possibility of these species transforming to infect people are something to think about.

Yes, we have BILLIONS of mosquitoes. Sevreal species which breed at different times of the year. Many hibernate through the winter months to nail us as soon as a warm day hits in the spring.

Immigrants have brought West Nile Virus to this country. It kills the elderly and birds. It is going to be a serious problem each and every year. Imports from other countries have brought numerous diseases here not only to people but our plants and animals. Now we have a vicious killer of our ash trees here from a beetle originating in China. Canada has mad cow disease now.
