6/21/18 Rock County Health Department, Vector Borne Illnesses

Steve and his guests, Mark Seymour and Nino Majoy, Environmental Health Specialists, will discuss Vector-borne diseases. These are infections transmitted by the bite of infected arthropod species, such as mosquitoes, ticks, triatomine bugs, sandflies, and blackflies. Arthropod vectors are cold-blooded and thus especially sensitive to climatic factors.
