Mosquito-Borne Disease: Bites that Pack a Punch
This presentation provides guidance for counseling students, parents and collogues of mosquito-borne diseases, based on where they live, and travel, to help prevent mosquito-borne diseases. It focuses on vector behavior, risk, prevention, symptoms and management of the diseases. Mosquito-borne diseases are generally NOT curable, so by understanding and communicating where dangers lie and by dispelling urban legends, school nurses can play a key role in students’ well-being.
