Mosquito borne infections

Diagnosis of mosquito-borne infections can sometimes be difficult, because symptoms can be easily confused with those of other diseases.

Your doctor will likely ask about your medical symptoms and travel history in detail, including the countries you visited and the dates, as well as any contact you may have with mosquitoes. 

Certain laboratory tests can be performed on blood, urine and other body fluid specimens (depending on the type of infection) to detect evidence of mosquito-borne infections.
