Aedes aegypti Mosquito, Tropical Fever Vector

Female Aedes aegypti mosquito feeding from from her human host. Note that her abdomen had become distended due to the fact that her stomach is now filling with her blood meal. As the primary vector responsible for the transmission of the zika virus, Flavivirus Dengue (DF), and Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), the day-biting Aedes aegypti mosquito prefers to feed on its human hosts. Ae. aegypti also plays a major role as a vector for another Flavivirus, "Yellow fever". Frequently found in its tropical environs, the white banded markings on the tarsal segments of its jointed legs, though distinguishing it as Ae. aegypti, are similar to some other mosquito species. Also note the lyre-shaped, silvery-white markings on its thoracic region as well, which is also a determining morphologic identifying characteristic.
