"  Mosquitoes: They&amp;#039;re my only complaint about summertime, since, otherwise, I&amp;#039;m a warm weather kind of gal. But a new study, presented at the meeting of the Ecological Society of American in Albuquerque, may bring us closer to a solution for monitoring their resurgance.  According to Discovery.com, scientists found far more mosquitos in sewage-contaminated streams than in clean ones, and said that those mosquitos specifically were bigger, stronger, faster. Yuck! Ecologist Luis Fernando Chaves comments on what this means for people: &amp;quot;One way to reduce these artificial problems is to ensure the water quality of these streams by not dumping sewage in them.&amp;quot; Unfortunately, more than 750 communities in the United States use a system called a &amp;quot;combined sewage overflow system,&amp;quot; which mixes minimally treated wastewater with storm run-off and delivers the mixture to a treatment site. But when storms hit, the contents bypass the facility and dumps sewage right into local rivers and lakes. Rosmarie Kelly, a public health entomologist at the Georgia Department of Community Health in Atlanta, tell Discovery: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve known for a while that it&amp;#039;s likely that these combined sewage overflows were creating not only a mosquito problem but a West Nile problem.&amp;quot; Though no plans to rectify the sewage system is in the works just yet, the situation will remain closely monitored.
