Abstract :Abstract
International travel has increased dramatically to underdeveloped and exotic destinations. Many travelers visiting these areas will be unaware of the diseases transmitted through the bites of mosquitoes in other countries. Some mosquito-borne diseases are Zika virus, West Nile virus, malaria, dengue and chikungunya. Preventive measures against mosquito control are a public priority and should always be considered to reduce the spread of diseases. The CDC has travel advisory information to guide the public on non-pharmacological methods and pharmacological products (Table 1) to prevent mosquito bites. Travelers should be informed about mosquito bite prevention and aware of countries that are affected by these vector borne diseases. Travelers should also follow the CDC recommendations for preventive control measures found to be safe and effective.
