The mosquito is the deadliest insect in the world, causing more human deaths than any other animal. There are several illnesses spread by mosquitoes in Wisconsin. While not every mosquito bite will lead to illness, it is important to stay informed about mosquitoes and the diseases they can spread.
West Nile Virus
West Nile virus is the most common disease spread by mosquitoes in Wisconsin. The illness is spread to humans through the bite of an infected Culex species mosquito. Most people who are infected with West Nile virus never develop noticeable symptoms. Others may develop mild symptoms like fever, headache, and fatigue. On average, 18 cases of West Nile virus are reported each year in Wisconsin.
Jamestown Canyon Virus
Jamestown Canyon virus is the second most common disease spread by mosquitoes in Wisconsin, after West Nile virus. Cases are more common in the northern part of the state. The virus is relatively rare in Wisconsin, but recently, the number of cases has increased. Mild signs and symptoms include fever, chills, fatigue, and headache.
La Crosse Encephalitis
La Crosse encephalitis is an illness spread by the bite of an infected Aedes triseriatus mosquito. Most people who are infected with West Nile virus never develop noticeable symptoms. Others may develop mild symptoms like fever, headache, and fatigue. La Crosse encephalitis virus is very rare in Wisconsin.
St. Louis Encephalitis
St. Louis encephalitis is an illness spread by the bite of an infected Culex species mosquito. Almost 99% of people infected with St. Louis encephalitis never develop symptoms. Those that do develop symptoms often experience mild illness like fever, headache, and fatigue. St. Louis encephalitis is rare in Wisconsin.

What Attracts Mosquitoes?
Mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon dioxide that humans and animals emit. Individuals who produce more carbon dioxide, such as pregnant women or those who are exercising, tend to be more appealing to mosquitoes. Mosquitos also use body heat and sweat to locate their next meals. Mosquitoes may prefer some people over others based on their blood type. While they only live for a few weeks, mosquitoes breed rapidly and lay their eggs in standing water. Ponds, bird baths, puddles, pools, water fountains, clogged gutters, and any other location where water collects will attract mosquitoes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to keep mosquitoes away?
Eliminate mosquito breed sites around your home by regularly draining any standing water from containers, including bird baths, fountains, buckets, old tires, and planters. Remove unnecessary items from your yard that can collect water. Trim dense vegetation and keep the grass cut short. Cover all water storage containers tightly. Clear clogged roof gutters.
When are mosquitoes most active?
Mosquito season in Wisconsin is typically from May to September, but can stay active until temperatures become too cold for them to survive. Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk
Why do mosquitoes bite?
Female mosquitoes bite people and animals because they need blood to reproduce. They require the proteins in blood to develop their eggs.
What do mosquitoes eat?
Mosquito larvae feed on algae and other organic material in water. Only female mosquitoes consume blood that is needed to produce fertilized eggs. Male mosquitoes eat only nectar and fruit juices.
Where do mosquitoes live?
Mosquitoes breed in still water, such as ponds, old tires, bird baths, flower pots, and water fountains. These insects also prefer shady areas and live in tall grass and shrubbery.
