Over 125 years ago, a British doctor discovered that female Anopheles mosquitoes transmit malaria to humans. To commemorate this moment in history, World Mosquito Day (WMD) was founded.
Each year, WMD is an opportunity to raise awareness of the dangers posed by mosquito-borne diseases.
Today, mosquito-borne diseases kill more than one million people and infect up to 700 million yearly – almost one in ten people, says the WMD.
