WHAT IS MOSQUITOES?

Mosquitoes belong to the order Diptera (true flies). Despite their small size, they are among the most medically important insects worldwide due to their role as vectors for serious human diseases. Only female mosquitoes bite, as they require a blood meal to produce fertile eggs.

SPECIES DIVERSITY & BEHAVIOR

There are over 3,000 species worldwide, with the most medically significant genera being:

Aedes spp.: Known for spreading Dengue and Zika.
Anopheles spp.: The primary vector for Malaria.
Culex spp.: Associated with Japanese Encephalitis and Filariasis.

Male mosquitoes feed on nectar and have feathery antennae, while females possess specialized mouthparts for blood feeding.

LIFE CYCLE (40-42 DAYS)

Mosquitoes undergo complete metamorphosis in four distinct stages:

EGG

LARVA

PUPA

ADULT

PUBLIC HEALTH THREAT

Through their saliva, mosquitoes transmit deadly pathogens including:

• Dengue Fever

• Malaria

• Zika Virus
