Of the approximately 460 species of Anopheline mosquitoes known, over 100 can transmit the plasmodia which cause malaria. However, only 30–40 species commonly transmit malaria to humans. Malaria, transmitted by Anopheline mosquitoes, is responsible globally for the deaths of around 1 million people each year. Some species of Anopheles can also act as the vectors of the filariasis causing parasites, Wucheria bancrofti and Brugia malayi. They are also implicated in the transmission of some arboviruses including West Nile Virus,…
This pest profile covers two species of Aedes mosquitoes – Aedes aegypti, the Yellow fever mosquito and Aedes albopictus, the Tiger mosquito, (sometimes classified by subgenus, Stegomyia aegypti and Stegomyia albopictus.) These two species are responsible for the transmission of dengue fever, yellow fever and chikungunya. Aedes aegypti on the left and Aedes albopictus on the right. Note the different thorax markings (Courtesy of CDC). Click for further details on the species difference Dengue fever is a viral disease…
Mosquitoes of the genus Culex are distributed world-wide and belong to the subfamily Culicinae, which contains several medically important genera. Breeding sites of these mosquitoes are often in collections of water like puddles, ditches or rice-fields but also man-made containers such as tin-cans, bottles or storage tanks. Medically important species like Culex quinquefasciatus or Culex pipiens pipiens prefer to breed in water that is polluted by organic debris such as rotting vegetation or human and animal excrement. Due to…
