Best Answer

Mosquitoes feed on infected humans, or on primates (monkeys) which are less affected but are carriers. The mosquitoes carry the bacteria to others. Where there are no infected individuals, the disease does not exist (as in Asia). However, it is endemic in tropical areas of Africa and South America.
