Mosquito-borne illness
In this photo released from the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, entomologists Walter Tabachnick, left, and Roxanne Connelly consult computer images of chikungunya (“chicken-GUN-ya”) virus at the Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory in Vero Beach – Monday, April 23, 2007. Since early 2005, the mosquito-borne virus has sickened 1.6 million people in the Indian Ocean region, affecting countries shown in red on the map. Experts caution that the virus could become established in the United States.
