Hurricane Harvey has just melted, appearing a million mosquito flocks

Harvey is a super typhoon with a heavy impact on the US state of Texas. According to Reuters, super typhoon Harvey caused heavy rain and record flooding, leaving at least 50 people dead and causing nearly $ 180 billion in damage.

However, after the storm dissipated, besides the worry of resolving the ruins, Texas residents also faced an " explosion " of a terrifying creature. This is the situation where mosquitoes increase dramatically in quantity after a severe flood caused by super typhoon.

Flood waters after storms are an ideal breeding ground for millions of mosquitoes, leading to new threats of outbreaks.

Pollution and humid environment after prolonged flooding is one of the favorable conditions for mosquitoes to constantly develop.

Mosquitoes are full of people despite wearing protective and hooded clothing.

Tyler Bennett and a colleague recorded videos of thousands of mosquitoes "sweeping" in the town of Refugio, Texas (USA).

Refugio town has a population of about 3000 people, about 265km from Houston. Although no one was killed in super typhoon Harvey, the Refugio area does not have electricity and many people are falling into a situation of losing their homes due to floodwaters.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: "Mosquito populations often increase greatly after flooding."

The World Health Organization says mosquitoes are the deadliest animal in the world and cause at least one million people to die each year.The majority of deaths are due to malaria.

Dr Peter Hotez, director of the National Center for Tropical Medicine at Baylor University (Texas), said: "Houston is the leading area for mosquitoes in the US".

Although the population of natural mosquitoes in Texas has been devastated by the effects of floods, floodwaters are everywhere, creating stagnant waters, making them ideal for living mosquitoes to recover and reproduce vigorously. strong.

This may have a small effect on the lives and health of the people here. Mosquitoes can carry dangerous infectious diseases such as West Nile virus, Dengue and Zika dengue fever.

West Nile virus peaked in Texas in 2002, and the state recorded 370 cases of the disease by 2016.

Earlier, a study was done after a year of the devastating 2006 Hurricane Katrina, which found that West Nile virus infections doubled in the affected areas of the storm.

In fact, the Texas government is carrying out a state-wide mosquito repellent campaign after the super typhoon Harvey passed to prevent possible outbreaks.

Experts warn that if the control is not timely, mosquitoes can become the next "storm" to land in Houston and cause unpredictable consequences.
