i think you are misinterpreting the statement. the mosquito is infected when it bites you and then there is an incubation period of about 13 days before Malaria syptoms appear.

They eat mosquitoes a lot of times.

Mosquitoes are attracted first and foremost to carbon dioxide.  When we breathe out, we produce this gas and they follow the trail until they find us.  They are also attracted to heat and humidity that we give off as well as the chemicals in our sweat.  Since we produce so much heat and sweat from our scalp and forehead and carbon dioxide is released on our breath, mosquitos seek out the human head as their initial target.

Yes.  Haven't you noticed there are less flies in winter?  Mosquitoes lava needs water to develop so you get tons of mozzies after a good rain.  Bettles live in the ground until summer brings them up to the surface.  Its all about the seasons, insect life cycles and food availability.\n\nGood luck with you assignment.

Homeostasis is a general concept in biology which you can look up on wikipedia. Malarial mosquitoes, like all organisms, need to maintain homeostasis in order to survive. Perhaps you are reading your homework question the wrong way.

where can you find insects in san jose?  go outside and check under leaves, twigs, rocks, etc., go to a field or creek and look around, on, and under the brush, trees, and grasses.

Yes, it is a new discovery by a scientist at North Carolina State University. Here is a direct link to the press release: \nhttp://www.ncsu.edu/news/press_releases/02_06/164.htm\n\nThe tomato compound apparently repels ticks, cockroaches, and some other insects. The big question will be "How effective is it?" since female mosquitoes basically just follow carbon dioxide from our bodies.

The Cypress has leaves and a Juniper has needles - more info on both below\n\nThe bald cypress is found in marshy areas in the United States. The Cache Wetlands is an example in Southern Illinois where to find this imposing tree.\n\nThe bald cypress knees can be seen sticking out of the water like stumps. The leaves on a cypress tree are light green in spring and are dark brown in the summer time. The bark on the bald cypress is light gray to cinnamon red.\n\nThe bald cypress is so durable even the Indians used the tree. Sometimes the Indians would use the bald cypress for dugout canoes. \n\nJuniper One of the characteristic heathland shrubs of the chalk and limestone country is the Juniper - Juniperus communis. The shrub typically grows from 4 - 6 feet high with the trunk or stem often being contorted and twisted. The leaves take the form of needles of a deep green colour sometimes with a bluish-tinge, on account of which it is often known in folk tradition as the needle yew. The berries usually take two to three years to fully ripen, hence it is common to see both the bluish-black ripe berries alongside very green and under-ripe ones on the same bush. When fully ripe, the berries are about the size of a pea and have an aromatic resiny scent.

There are other diseases that mosquitos transmit, but TB, AIDS, and Herpes are not among them.  \n\nWhen the mosquito "bites" she injects a certain saliva under the skin to prevent clotting the blood.  If the blood clotted, it would clog her feeding tube.  After taking her blood meal, her feeding tube is wiped clean of blood and she rests for a few hours to digest it, thereby allowing germs on the tube to die.  \n\nMalaria, dengue fever, and west nile are carried because they actually develop inside the mosquito.  The parasite Plasmodium (for malaria) has a host inside the human, and another host inside the mosquito.  (I can send you the whole biology chapter if you want it.)  The parasite develops inside the mosquito and is then sent to the salivary glands, where it is passed on to the next human in that saliva -- about 8 hours after biting the first malaria-infected human.  \n\nAt this time, AIDS has not developed into a disease that can use mosquitos as hosts.  It can be sexually transmitted, because there are virus cells in the reproductive fluids and there are always small abrasions made during a sexual act which allows these virus cells to pass into the blood stream.  It can be transmitted by blood transfusion, or by using an injection needle more than one as is common among stoned drug users.  \n\nHowever, AIDS does not (yet) have the ability in its life cycle to develop inside a mosquito and migrate to the salivary glands so as to infect the next person.  It is unlikely that it will, because it is a virus and not a living parasite; also it is a mammalian disease and would have no effect on insect cells.  If AIDS were passed by mosquitos, using the number of malaria infections every year and the impossiblity of buy medication for either disease, everyone in Africa would have been dead for almost a century as the disease passed.  \n\nI hope that this answers some of your questions, and the implied worry, about the possible diseases passed by the mosquitos.

Media releases concerning the possibility of mosquitoes transmitting AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) were common when the disease was first recognized, and the subject is still addressed by tabloids that seek captivating headlines to increase their circulation. The topic was initiated by reports from a small community in southern Florida where preliminary evidence suggested that mosquitoes may have been responsible for the higher on average incidence of AIDS in the local population. The media was quick to publicize claims that mosquitoes were involved in AIDS transmission despite findings of scientific surveys of the National Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that clearly demonstrated that mosquito transmission of AIDS in that community appeared highly unlikely. Nevertheless, media releases perpetuated the concept that mosquitoes transmitted AIDS, and many people still feel that mosquitoes may be responsible for transmission of this infection from one individual to another. \n\n     There are three theoretical mechanisms which would allow blood-sucking insects such as mosquitoes to transmit HIV.\n\n1. In the first mechanism, a mosquito would initiate the cycle by feeding on an HIV positive carrier and ingest virus particles with the blood meal. For the virus to be passed on, it would have to survive inside the mosquito, preferably increase in numbers, and then migrate to the mosquito's salivary glands. The infected mosquito would then seek its second blood meal from an uninfected host and transfer the HIV from its salivary glands during the course of the bite. This is the mechanism used by most mosquito-borne parasites, including malaria, yellow fever, dengue, and the encephalitis viruses.\n\n2. In the second mechanism, a mosquito would initiate the cycle by beginning to feed on an HIV carrier and be interrupted after it had successfully drawn blood. Instead of resuming the partial blood meal on its original host, the mosquito would select an AIDS-free person to complete the meal. As it penetrated the skin of the new host, the mosquito would transfer virus particles that were adhering to the mouthparts from the previous meal. This mechanism is not common in mosquito-borne infections, but equine infectious anemia is transmitted to horses by biting flies in this manner.\n\n3. The third theoretical mechanism also involves a mosquito that is interrupted while feeding on an HIV carrier and resumes the partial blood meal on a different individual. In this scenario, however, the AIDS-free host squashes the mosquito as it attempts to feed and smears HIV contaminated blood into the wound. In theory, any of the mosquito-borne viruses could be transmitted in this manner providing the host circulated sufficient virus particles to initiate re-infection by contamination.\n\n     Each of these mechanisms has been investigated with a variety of blood sucking insects and the results clearly show that mosquitoes cannot transmit AIDS. News reports on the findings, however, have been confusing, and media interpretation of the results has not been clear. The average person is still not convinced that mosquitoes are not involved in the transmission of a disease that appears in the blood, is passed from person to person and can be contracted by persons that share hypodermic needles. Here are just some of the reasons why the studies showed that mosquitoes cannot transmit AIDS:\n\n \n\n  Mosquitoes Digest the Virus that Causes AIDS\n\n\n    When a mosquito transmits a disease agent from one person to another, the infectious agent must remain alive inside the mosquito until transfer is completed. If the mosquito digests the parasite, the transmission cycle is terminated and the parasite cannot be passed on to the next host. Successful mosquito-borne parasites have a number of interesting ways to avoid being treated as food. Some are refractory to the digestive enzymes inside the mosquito's stomach; most bore their way out of the stom

Mosquitos breed in standing water. It doesn`t have to do with cleanliness. There is rain, and there is a monsoon season that makes puddles last long enough for mosquitos to breed and multiply. Natural water sources can also be a breeding ground for mosquitos if the water is still enough.
