Don't worry for Patagonia: There are very few insects without any diseases. Peru in the high areas (Machu Picchu, Cuzco) is safe as well. For Central America, why not. Many carry one & don't use it. Some use it often... If you bring one, get a light one!

According to WHO reports, there are a substantial number of Malaria cases in Peru and Panama, and Costa Rica suffers from Dengue fever so it would seem advisable to be careful there. I don't think there are diseases spread by mosquitoes in Patagonia, but they can be very annoying nonetheless.
