Aedes mosquito

Aedes mosquitoes are a type of day-biting mosquito known for spreading dangerous diseases like dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever. They typically breed in small, stagnant water containers near human dwellings, such as flower pots, discarded tires, and water tanks. These mosquitoes are identifiable by their black and white markings on their legs and body. They are most active during daylight hours, especially early mornings and late afternoons. Preventing bites involves eliminating standing water around homes, using protective clothing, and applying insect repellent. Controlling Aedes populations is crucial for reducing the risk of disease transmission.
