Malaria and Zika are both diseases spread by mosquitos. Malaria is deadly, and people have been fighting it for centuries. Zika, though, emerged more recently. Although
symptoms of a Zika infection are usually milder than those of a malaria infection, Zika is
associated with birth defects in the babies of infected mothers. Malaria and Zika are
spread by two distinct types of mosquitos: malaria by the Anopheles mosquito, and Zika
by the Aedes mosquito. This means that different prevention techniques are
recommended. Because Anopheles bite at night, using mosquito netting over beds can
help people avoid malaria. Aedes, however, bite during the day. In areas where Zika is a
concern, experts recommend using insect repellents and covering the skin with clothing.
