1月18日（月）快晴
熱帯雨林にバードウオッチングに行ったら、駐車場の看板に付近に住む野鳥の一覧表と蚊の一覧表が並んでいました。掲示されていた蚊の種類は72種類。現在は雨季なので連日のように夜間雨が降り、蚊が大量発生。昨年はケアンズでデング熱に500人が罹患し、1人が死亡。ネッタイシマカが媒介。マラリアは世界で年間5億人が罹患し、100万人が死亡。ハマダラカが媒介。どちらもワクチンがないので防虫スプレーでガードするしかありません。
雨上がり

Dengue fever and malaria
Mon. January 18 : fine
When I went to the tropical rain forest for bird watching I found the list of the kinds of wild birds and mosquitoes that live around there on the sign at the parking area. There were 72 kinds of mosquitoes on the list. It has been raining at night everyday during the rainy season and has caused the plague of mosquitoes. 500 people were affected and one person was killed by dengue fever in Cairns last year. Yellow-fever mosquitoes mediate it. 500,000,000 people are affected and 1,000,000 are killed by malaria a year in the world. The anopheles transmits it. There is no vaccination against them so guarding it with the insect repellent spray is the only way to prevent the infection.

今の家族の中では、私が一番に
さされやすい体質ですが、
息子達が小さいときは
二男が、やたら刺されていました。
でも、面白い一覧表ですね＾＾
僕の友人のガイドは毒蛇、毒クラゲに数回、デング熱に1回やられていますが、蚊を一番怖がっています。デング熱は1回目は死ぬことはないけど、2回目は命にかかわります。
蚊は日本脳炎も媒介します。
