Aedes mosquitoes

Aedes mosquitoes are a type of insect known for transmitting significant diseases like dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever. They are small, dark mosquitoes with distinctive markings on their legs and body. These mosquitoes are most active during the daytime and often breed in small containers holding stagnant water, such as flower pots, tires, and buckets. They are primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions but can also exist in temperate areas. Controlling their populations involves eliminating standing water where they lay eggs and using protective measures like insect repellents and nets.
