But scientists at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation in Recife, Pernambuco State, in the northeast of the country, believe otherwise.
They say they are as little as a month away from confirming that the virus is also being carried and transmitted by the much more common Culex mosquito. (((((Which, I guess, implies that in as little as a month they might not be able to confirm it))))))))
The lead research scientist at the foundation, Constancia Ayres, told Sky News that IF her suspicions are confirmed, the implications are huge.
Hardly a ringing endorsement but IF confirmed, will certainly be a very major development and difficult to control.

Re: Use mosqito spray in all warm climates!
I did some more reading this morning, and I can't find anything else that references the claim. I even looked up the foundation that SkyNews says is making the claim, and their own website doesn't say anything about it. So... yeah, that may have been just poor information.

Gotta ask yourself some serious questions before doing that.
BTW - I live in mosquito heaven (or hell). So I know a bit about combating these pests. Anything that kills them dead on the spot, is a clue ..... a BIG clue that it's likely not good of you either.
Again, no disrespect to anyone.

One thing to keep in mind is this mosquito bites during the day feeding on us and not at night like most......
Re: Use mosqito spray in all warm climates!
Okay. Skeeters and sand fleas love me. Bought a net for the bed to see if it helps ward off night bites. Will spray bathroom window screens near shower.
Used to get dozens of bites in each leg, last year I only received about ten bites. What worked last year: citronella spray over my sunscreen during the day. Flowing fashionable beach trousers at night. Deet spray on trousers during sunset to combat sand fleas.
