The burden imposed by mosquitoes has
stimulated jobs in the design, testing, manufacture, distribution and
application of pesticides, anti-malarial agents, bed nets, window screens, and specialized
earth moving equipment to reduce larval habitats. Mosquitoes,
mosquito-borne disease and pesticide-related issues are the focus of
researchers, clinicians and political advocates. Hence, mosquitoes
provide the incentive for diverse kinds of jobs, products and services.
Finally, malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases have until recently
effectively protected people who reside in certain malaria-endemic regions from
the influences of foreign intruders - whether those are military, commercial or
other kinds of interventionists.
