Many people are in holiday mode, spending their days and early evenings outside. Unfortunately, the lovely summer weather brings with it a tiny and irritating nuisance that can spoil your mood and leave you with annoying itchy, red bumps. But, mosquitoes are more than just irritating insects. They transmit various life-threatening diseases such as Malaria, Zika virus, West Nile virus, Chikungunya virus and Dengue. Malaria alone is estimated to have killed over 400,000 people in sub-Saharan Africa last year. Taneshka Kruger, a malaria expert at the University of Pretoria speaks on this. Courtesy #DStv403
