Aedes aegypti is a species of mosquito known for its distinctive white markings on its legs and a lyre-shaped pattern on its thorax. It is primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. This mosquito is a significant vector for several diseases, including dengue fever, Zika virus, and chikungunya. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is most active during the day, particularly in the early morning and late afternoon. It breeds in stagnant water, often found in artificial containers like flower pots and discarded tires. Controlling its population is crucial for preventing the spread of the diseases it carries.
