Another "Gift from China and Comrade Xi"

These mosquitoes 'prefer to bite people.' Meet the invasive insect ravaging the West Coast

Horror movies like "Jaws" "Anaconda" and "The Birds" became cult classics with the ability to show how scary animals can be when around humans. And while those larger animals can stir fear in the real world, there are plenty of tiny creatures to also generate nightmares.

Originally from Asia, the Aedes mosquito is thought to have made its way to California from a shipment of bamboo from China in 2001, according to the Los Angeles Times. Now, the population of the mosquito has grown so rapidly that numerous counties in the state are trying to control the population rather than eradicate it.

But what makes these mosquitoes so much more terrifying than others? Their preference for biting humans.
Levy Sun, director of communications for the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District, said most mosquitoes prefer to feed on birds, but with Aedes mosquitoes, it's a whole difference interest.
"With these Aedes mosquitoes, they don't care about birds or other mammals, they prefer to bite people," Sun told USA TODAY. "They'll continuously try and bite you over the course of a few minutes to get a full blood meal. So when you get five bites in your legs, it could very well be from just one Aedes mosquito."
The differences from other mosquitoes don't end there either. Aedes mosquitoes tend to be more aggressive, bite during the day and can live outdoors and indoors. They also tend to be more active during the fall, unlike other mosquitoes, which typically stop activity by October.
Luz Maria Robles, public information officer for the Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito & Vector Control District, said they even found these mosquitoes living in May this year.
"We just didn't realize that we were gonna find them so early," she said. "The season for this mosquito is kind of extending."
Another big danger of Aedes mosquitoes: viruses. West Nile virus is the most known virus mosquitoes can carry, but these critters can carry a lot more, such as Zika, yellow fever, dengue and chikungunya, among others. According to Sun's agency, the mosquitoes were responsible for Zika outbreaks in Florida, Texas, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

Fact check: No, vitamin B1 supplements do not repel mosquitoes
So far, the mosquitoes have been found in 310 cities across 22 counties in California, according to state data, as well as in Utah. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2017 estimated the mosquitoes were present in nearly all southwest and southeast states.
Robles said what makes it so hard to contain the mosquitoes is how they breed. Typically, mosquitoes lay their eggs in large bodies of standing water, whereas Aedes eggs "look like a very small speck of dirt," and the insects can lay them in a bottle cap of water and on things such as toys, buckets and plants.
"The eggs can survive in the dry form for many months, so that's also very difficult," she said.

Sun added another reason Aedes mosquitoes have thrived is that they have "taken advantage" of people creating conditions for them to survive. They don't fly far, meaning they usually go from yard to yard.
"These mosquitoes come from tropical climates, and by us here in Southern California creating microclimates in our yard, we allow these mosquitoes to thrive," he said. "You primarily find them in urban environments in cities."
One way to get rid of the mosquitoes is to have more native plants and vegetation in your area and get rid of all stagnant water — even in drink containers as well as communicating with neighbors about doing the same thing.
"You definitely have to do your part as a resident," Robles said.
Sun added doing those things is a much better solution than just using pesticides.
"Compared to the native mosquitoes here, they can actually be more resistant to a lot of the pesticides we put out in our yard," he said. "Our fear is that the resistance will be built up enough where it's not as effective."
As for protecting your body, repellent is the best way to go, as well as covering up the body as much as possible, Luz and Sun said. The mosquitoes are black with distinctive white stripes, and if they are spotted, people are urged to call their local mosquito and vector control department.


Comrade Xi has given so much to America - add this to the list.
Perhaps this plague will target the last liberals left in the soviet socialist State of kalifornia - and end teh liberal plague on America!

“… At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following “Current Communist Goals” which she identifies as an excerpt from “The Naked Communist” by Cleon Skousen.

1963 COMMUNIST GOALS

1 – U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2 – U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3 – Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4 – Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5 – Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6 – Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7 – Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8 – Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9 – Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10 – Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11 – Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12 – Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13 – Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14 – Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15 – Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States. – Democrat Party is now captured.
16 – Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17 – Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks. – Done.
18 – Gain control of all student newspapers.
19 – Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20 – Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21 – Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22 – Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23 – Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24 – Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25 – Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26 – Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27 – Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28 – Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29 – Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30 – Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31 – Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32 – Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33 – Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34 – Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35 – Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36 – Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37 – Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38 – Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39 – Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40 – Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41 – Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42 – Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use “united force” to solve economic, political or social problems.
43 – Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self- government.
44 – Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45 – Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
