World's Deadliest Animal

The mosquito has toppled empires and halted armies throughout history—from the yellow fever that forced Napoleon to abandon the Americas to the diseases that continue reshaping geopolitics and human settlement patterns with each deadly bite.

Biological Life Cycles

The mosquito transforms from an aquatic filter-feeding larva into a winged adult, with females requiring blood meals to develop eggs in a life cycle that has shaped ecosystems and human health for millions of years.

Public Health Challeges

Mosquitoes present an ever-evolving public health nightmare, spreading deadly diseases to half a billion people annually while developing resistance to insecticides and adapting to urban environments, forcing health officials into a perpetual arms race. 

About the Course

This course explores the remarkable biology and devastating global impact of the mosquito, examining how these tiny insects transform from aquatic larvae into blood-seeking adults that require mammalian blood for reproduction. Students will investigate how mosquitoes have shaped human history by toppling empires and forcing strategic retreats, from Napoleon's abandonment of the Americas due to yellow fever to ongoing geopolitical consequences of vector-borne diseases. The course concludes with an analysis of contemporary public health challenges, exploring how mosquitoes continue to infect half a billion people annually while evolving resistance to control measures in our increasingly urbanized world.
