BONUS! More Mosquito Madness!

from Cool Facts About Animals

In this bonus episode of Cool Facts About Animals, we interview Kathryn Olivarius, a professor of history at Stanford University who studies the spread of diseases through mosquitoes, particularly yellow fever in the southern United States in the 1800s. We talk about: what diseases mosquitoes spread the ethics of wiping out mosquito populations the effects of climate change on mosquitoes (hint – it's not good for us humans, but it's great for mosquitoes!) and what kids can do to try to dial back climate change. Check it out, and make sure to listen to our regularly-scheduled episode on mosquitoes, which should already be in your feed. Thanks as always for listening!
