Aedes mosquitoes are a type of mosquito known for their distinctive black and white markings. They are most active during the day and are often found in tropical and subtropical regions. These mosquitoes are important because they can carry diseases like Dengue fever, Zika virus, and Chikungunya, which can affect humans and animals. These mosquitoes breed in standing water, such as in flower pots, discarded tires, and puddles. To prevent their spread, it's essential to eliminate any stagnant water around homes. By doing so, we can help reduce the risk of diseases associated with Aedes mosquitoes and protect our communities.
