What Are the Causes of Liver Spots? The appearance of liver spots is quite common in men and women over the age of 40. Liver spots develop over time, usually taking years to appear, and, although they have the word liver in their name, these dark patches on the skin have nothing to do with the human liver or liver disease.
Mosquito vectored diseases include protozoan diseases, i.e., malaria, filarial diseases such as dog heartworm, and viruses such as dengue, encephalitis and yellow fever.
Without question the answer is: the mosquito. Mosquitoes and the diseases they spread have been responsible for killing more people than all the wars in history. Even today, mosquitoes transmitting malaria kill 2 million to 3 million people and infect another 200 million or more every year. Tens of millions more are killed and debilitated by a host of other mosquito-borne diseases, including filariasis, yellow fever, dengue and encephalitis.
