Mosquito Awareness Week or Mosquito Control Awareness Week is held every year in North and South American countries, including the United States.[1][2] Mosquito Awareness Week is observed annually in late June.[3][4] A separate Caribbean Mosquito Awareness Week (CARPA) is held earlier in the year, typically in April or May.[5]
Mosquito Awareness Week raises awareness of diseases spread by mosquitoes, including dengue fever, chikungunya, Zika, yellow fever, and malaria. It aims to reduce mosquito breeding and encourage people to take preventative measures to avoid mosquito bites.[1
