Different+types+of+mosquitos

 Aedes Aegypti: The yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) is a mosquito mosquitoes that can carry dengue and yellow fever and other diseases. He is a member of the subgenus Stegomyia in the genus Aedes (that belongs to the closely related Aedes albopictus dengue vector also). In 2005, molecular studies led to reclassify Stegomyia as gender, changing the name of some authors by Stegomyia aegypti mosquito as it did with the Aedes albopictus which became known as Stegomyia Albopicta counterparts, but these studies have been widely discussed in so now the name used on a majority is the Aedes aegypti, as required from December 2005 the editors of scientific journals in the sector.

Can be recognized by their distinctive white markings, although their differences in appearance compared to other mosquitoes may be light. It is found most frequently in the tropics, but is present in the southern states of the United States (eg Florida) and shares habitat with Ae. albopictus, which is shifting in some areas.

The Cuban scientist Carlos J. Finlay discovered the mosquito transmitter agent of yellow fever and presented its results for the first time in the International Health Conference held in Washington DC on February 18, 1881. His comments were mocked by U.S. doctors, but then tried to expose these discoveries and developed in your country.

 Anopheles Mosquito: Anopheles mosquito is a genus of the Culicidae family that lives in almost all the world including Europe, Africa, Asia, America and Oceania, with particular intensity in temperate, tropical and subtropical regions. There are approximately 400 species of Anopheles, of which 30-40 transmit four different species of the genus Plasmodium parasites that cause human malaria (as there are many other species of Plasmodium that cause malaria in mice (P. Bergei), birds ( P. gallinaceum), apes (P. yoeli), etc). The species Anopheles gambiae is one of the best known, because it conveys the most dangerous, Plasmodium falciparum. In Europe one of the most important species is Anopheles atroparvus.

Mosquito adults are small, flying, midgelike insects. Female mosquitoes can be differentiated from similar insects by the presence of a long slender proboscis that is adapted for piercing skin and sucking blood, and long slender wings that are covered with small scales. Male mosquitoes have scale-covered wings, but their probosces, or beaks, are shorter and thicker than the females', and are adapted for sucking plant juices and other sources of sugar rather than blood. In the immature stages, called larvae or wigglers, mosquitoes are usually black or dark brown and occur in nonmoving or nearly still water. Most mosquito larvae have a distinctive siphon or air tube at the rear of their bodies. The next stage is the pupal stage; pupae, called tumblers, are also aquatic and are small, roundish forms, usually black in color.

The meaning of the word “mosquito” is Spanish stands for “little fly”. But don't underestimate insect's size, despite that, it is well known for its big, itchy bite. Mosquitoes are summertime pests. They ruin barbecues, late night strolls by the lake, and quiet evenings relaxing on the porch. The annoying sound of the bug zapper or the unpleasant smell of insect repellent is enough to turn any fun outdoor evening event into a sheltered indoor activity. Mosquitoes lurk around looking for a human or animal “host” from which they can suck blood. Their bites are very itchy and can leave the skin irritated for a few days. Mosquitoes, however, are more than just a summertime nuisance. Some carry dangerous diseases that are transmittable to humans. These diseases include West Nile virus, malaria , encephalitis , and dengue fever. ** Mosquito information - What do they look like? **  There are over 2,700 different species of mosquitoes buzzing throughout the world. These insects are generally ¼ to ½ inch long and brown in color. They are thin, long-legged, and winged. ** Mosquito information - Where do they live? **  Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water and therefore, their habitats are usually found near lakes and ponds. They may also live closer to your home than you would like. They have been found in clogged gutters, old tires filled with water, fountains, and swimming pools that are not chlorinated. ** Mosquito information - Did you know…? **  Many would be interested to know that only the **female** mosquito sucks blood. They need the proteins found in animal and human blood to reproduce. The males, on the other hand, get their nourishment from plant nectars. **http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVnqoCoKGB8&feature=player_embedded://www.youtube.com/watch?**  Trypanosomiasis: Also called sleeping sickness, is a systemic disease caused by a parasite and transmitted by the bite of the tsetse fly. Annually recorded 20,000 new cases of trypanosomiasis in East and West Africa in the global African trypanosomiasis is confined mainly to tropical Africa and the areas of greatest risk are Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Ethiopia, Zaire, Zimbabwe and Botswana. There is no vaccine or preventive drug. Symptoms: which occur within one to four weeks from the time of infection, are often initially nonspecific and may include fever, lesions and rashes and swelling of lymph nodes in the back of the neck. The infection usually progresses to affect the brain and spinal cord. As the disease progresses, manifesting as personality change, weight loss, irritability, poor concentration, progressive confusion, seizures, difficulty walking and talking, profound lethargy, coma and eventually death.
