About West Nile Virus
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) West Nile virus (WNV) is a potentially serious seasonal (summer/fall) illness for which there is no specific treatment. Avoid mosquito bites by using repellent and wearing long sleeves. In mild cases people experience symptoms such as fever and aches that pass on their own, although even healthy people have become sick for several weeks.
About Malaria
If someone had to describe Malaria in one word, it would be either brutal, or mosquitos. Both would be right. The disease is spread by mosquitos; and a brutal and indiscriminate killer for the last 50,000 years. It has killed world leaders, brought down empires, and decided wars. It plagued American and Japanese troops in the Pacific theater and workers constructing the Panama Canal. Alexander the Great, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Gandhi contracted malaria a few times. Heck, even Anderson Cooper, Chris Mathhews and George Clooney have contracted malaria.
