Identifying deadly illnesses caused by pervasive predators    

Individualized testing delivers precise results for optimal treatment

Worldwide, mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs) cause millions of deaths each year, earning mosquitoes the title of world's deadliest animal.

Mayo Clinic Laboratories offers a comprehensive menu of individually orderable tests and panels for MBDs. Additionally, our algorithmic approaches to MBD testing help reduce costs and optimize patient care.
