Mosquitoes have been spreading diseases like chikungunya, dengue, malaria, and zika for decades. But in 2024, disease outbreaks have been occurring faster than ever before.
Although scientists have learned a lot about these flying virus carriers, identifying one mosquito from the other 3,500 remains a significant challenge.
