There are multiple mosquito bite-induced illnesses that threaten residents of North America, business, military or vacation travelers to the world's tropical regions — and beyond.1–23 Historically several of the most problematic mosquito borne illnesses, such as malaria,23 were limited to a tropical region distribution. Unfortunately with population migration,15 climate change, and challenges to vector control, including more aggressive restrictions on mosqu ito spraying, and resistance to various control measures, outbreaks have occurred beyond traditional zones – usually the tropics, to places such as Marseilles, France and Florida,7 as well as Italy, and other parts of Europe, not typically considered the tropics or even subtropics.
