Deadly Central American mosquito found in San Diego-Transmits dengue hemorrhagic fever
WND ^ | 29 Oct 2014 | Aaron Klein

In an alarming development, an aggressive mosquito capable of transmitting the deadly dengue hemorrhagic fever and other serious diseases was reportedly found in San Diego, California, for the first time this week.

Many of the viruses the mosquito can spread are endemic to Central America and Mexico.

Known as yellow fever mosquitoes, or by its scientific name the Aedes aegypti, the insects were found in offices at San Diego’s 32nd Street Naval Station, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The same kind of mosquitoes were found Oct. 7 and Oct. 8 in the Los Angeles-area counties of Commerce and Pico Rivera.

WND reported just this week that an Obama administration plan to facilitate the immigration of up to 100,000 Haitians to the U.S. without a visa is fraught with medical risks, particularly the spread of diseases endemic to Haiti, including viruses transmitted by the mosquito.

Aside from dengue fever, the mosquito can transmit diseases such as chikungunya, which brings paralyzing joint pain, and yellow fever, which has been ravaging not only Africa but Latin America and Central America.

Any chance this 32nd Street Naval Station ever hosted any dispersed illegal alien minors?

Makes sense that immigrants would bring with them the parasites they are host to.

Fire ant, boll weevils, killer bees, and now deadly mosquitoes.

Central America, the gift that keeps on giving.

Don’t spray with DDT, it is bad for the envonment. Let a few people die, others get very ill, and let the hospitals and MDs make some money. But don’t spray.

Those are cities, not counties.

My great grand aunt contracted malaria at the beach house on the shores of CT in the 1890s. There was a reason our forefathers drained swamps

So we’ve gotten bored with ebola already and it’s time to panic about another illness that none of us are actually going to get? The stupid is way more dangerous than the mosquito. Almost every breed of mosquito CAN carry something, if only they pick it up first, since there’s nobody up hear for them to pick it up from... Really, people need to stop trying to hard to be afraid, it’s pathetic.

The POS is absolutely destroying the USA. I have long heard that he plans to bring in 200,000+ “refugees” from Syria and Iraq. What could go wrong there?

FOLLOW THE CENTRAL AMERICA CONTAMINATION: The deadly EV-D68 enterovirus, a raging epidemic which has struck thousands of American kids, was generated by Obama’s ignorant decision to allow tens of thousands of unvaccinated, untreated Central Americans into our country. Genetic fingerprints of the American EV-D68 viruses are being compared to the EV-D68 viruses rampant in Central America.

But don't expect confirmations and/or reports until after the election, particularly if runoffs are in the works (/snix).

==================================================

It has been conclusively verified that the US/Mexican border has been violated by invaders from 144 antediluvian, disease-ridden countries---all of whom gather in Mexico b/c they know Obama is rubber-stamping them in----no questions asked.

Carriers of TB, Ebola, Chikungunya, Dengue fever, Norovirus. Hantavirus, Swine flu, Varicella. Variola, E-coli.......and carriers of childhood diseases America stamped out years ago.......are all here in our communitities, in our schools, in our stores and restaurants....handling our food and merchandise

The "transparent" Obama admin has willfully withheld from Americans:

<><> medical/contagion conditions of minors arriving by public transport to US schools....

<><> contagion status of contaminated US border-holding facilities, and US military installations;

<><> contagion status of contaminated public transportation used to relocate minors.......

<><> dangers to Americans from contaminated illegals in the marketplace, handling our food, merchandise...

<><> monetary costs to American taxpayers, forced to subsidize these diseased-ridden parasites.

UPDATE Genetic and statistical evidence includes admissions from top US health officials that multiple strains of the enterovirus virus have appeared simultaneously in multiple independent locations.

......nine American kids have died and 50 American kids have unprecedented polio-like paralysis....while hundreds of young American kids are in hospital emergency wards and intensive care units throughout more than 40 states.........

HERE'S WHERE THEY LANDED----in stores, schools, fast food restaurants near you.

Mosquito borne illnesses are quite dangerous. Doctors suspect my heart condition could be from just such a disease.

Anyone else notice mosquito bites are a LOT more itchy and stingy and last longer than they did last year? I’ve been wondering if there was a new breed of them in Texas this year.

I thought it too coincidental that so many kids were coming down with a paralyzing disease correlating with the immigrants. Haven’t heard much about it lately and even though it may not have been brought here by an alien, the timing was suspect.

Having an upgraded tin foil hat, the CDC or the drug companies could have been testing the spread of disease or the reaction of the population or new meds. The communists in charge (CIC cronies) probably have decades of revolution scenarios they need to test.

I saw Jeb Robertson from Duck Dynasty on Fox, and he had passed out and scared everyone..it turned out he had meningitis or encephalitis attack, but it passed (his family is family of prayer)...

That makes me think of this mosquito because LA is hot and humid....and many illegals have probably passed through there too. Of course the mosquitos are so common in the swamps.
