More than 75 percent of the United States is in danger of an outbreak of mosquito-borne diseases, according to a new CDC report.
Researchers analyzed county-level data of the presence and potential range for either Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus mosquitoes across the entire country.
They presented their results in the form of a map – which ominously shows the majority of the nation to be at-risk Zika, dengue, and yellow fever.
The findings, published late on Thursday, are a rallying cry to health officials to continue efforts against disease-carrying mosquitoes despite waning public interest about Zika.
