What’s the
buzz aboot in Canada? Well, not the mosquitos, but mosquito-borne Togavirus
that causes rashes, aches and fatigue among other symptoms (including
hemorrhaging in rare instances). Health Canada recently reported that more than
200 Canadians were infected, most likely while traveling. The Caribbean
suffered an outbreak earlier this year in which almost 200,000 people became
infected. Saint Martin, a Francophone Island, was one of the islands affected.
Luckily, Aedes
mosquitos aren’t native to Canada, but this kind of incident makes one wonder
what it takes for these mosquitos to get into the country, and for a virus to
get established. All these mosquitos have to do is get into the country with
some infected travelers, and technically they could infect other people. The
CDC has an interactive map that shows the spread of Chikungunya in the Western
Hemisphere since last December.
The mosquitos (or at least their eggs) have to survive
winters, which is a formidable task in Canada.
How can we prevent this? Should we fumigate all planes and
cargo like airlines going to Hawaii and the Galápagos do? Airlines are all
worried about Ebola, but they don’t seem to be too concerned about Chikungunya.
