Rain or shine, deadly mosquitoes are on the move

Hotter temperatures and heavy rainfall coupled with climate change are perfect breeding grounds for the Aedes mosquito that spreads Dengue Fever.

While many people enjoy warmer temperatures, basking in the sun, so do the Aedes mosquitoes which spread dengue fever. He well developed at temperatures ranging from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. Higher temperatures mean increased rates of female Aedes mosquito bites, increasing the risk of disease transmission. The same higher temperatures accelerate the spread of mosquito-borne viruses.

The Crows currently sit 15th in the ladder and King believes their boys have a bit of an edge over North Melbourne, who recently parted ways with coach David Noble. “There’s no way Matthew Nicks will survive this phase of rebuilding in the Adelaide Crows,” said King MON breakfast. “I looked through that and at the moment he has a win-loss ratio of around 27 per cent. They have completed 18, 15 and 15 tracking this year. “He has a list that is far from the envy of other coaches. This list is more than poor. I think they will ask for priority options in three years. “Their form at the moment, they covered the gap through a great Taylor Walker season, the likes of Rory Laird produced a high level, Ben Keays had a great year. “So the older bracket plays really good football. Who under 23 really says, ‘I’m your man, foll...
