Different types of mosquito's , That can harm you !!!!

India is suffering a lot from dengue fever, its happen most in north part of india like delhi

so let us discuss more about mosquito's which spread dengue....

Different Types Of Mosquito's

Culex (cue-lex)

Species of this genus are found breeding in freshwater habitats such as pools, ditches, ponds, and even in effluents of sewage treatment plants. Species in this genus are considered to be of medical importance in that they have been proven to be the primary vector of St. Louis Encephalitis and also play an active role in the transmission of West Nile Virus. They are most active at dusk, but are known to be active daytime biters.

Culiseta (cue-leh-see-tah)

This genus is the primary vector for Eastern Equine Encephalitis. This species does not feed on humans; therefore, it cannot transmit the virus to humans. It feeds actively on birds, cycling the virus from bird to bird. They are most often found in wooded swamps and in crypts left by the roots of fallen trees.

Mansonia (man-so-knee-ah)

This genus is similar to Coquillittidia, in that it is very aggressive and feeds primarily on larger mammals. It is most active at sunset. Like Coquillittidia, Mansonia larvae are associated with aquatic plants, including water lettuce, water hyacinth, and cattails, using an attenuated siphon to attach to roots to obtain oxygen. Mansonia will often fly great distances in search of blood meals. Adults of this genus are unlikely to be of medical importance

Ochlerotatus (oh-clair-oh-tate-us) and Aedes (A-dees)

Once an individual genus, Aedes has now been divided into 2 different genera. Species of these genera are found in temporary floodwater pools, fresh and brackish marshes, and in natural and artificial containers. Adults are abundant and bite readily outdoors at all hours of the day. It is not uncommon for them to enter homes to feed on humans. Certain species are medically important in the transmission of yellow fever and dengue.

Psorophora (sore-offer-ah)

This genus is considered to be extremely aggressive. Most of the species are known to feed on larger mammals, including humans, and are known to travel long distances in search of blood meals. Species of this genus breed primarily in temporary floodwaters, such as woodland pools, roadside ditches, and pastures.

Uranotaenia (your-an-ah-tay-nee-ah)

Species of this genus are most commonly found in ground pools, swamps, and grassy edges of lakes. They feed primarily on reptiles and amphibians, and are not known to bite humans. They are readily caught in light traps. Adults of this genus are unlikely to be of medical importance.

Wyeomyia (why-oh-my-yah)

This genus is closely associated with bromeliads and pitcher plants. The adults lay their eggs in the bromeliads, where the larvae develop. Adults are not known to travel far from the bromeliad habitats. They are not a common vector, nor are they an aggressive species, unless humans travel into an area that has bromeliads.
