Aedes aegypti is a mosquito species that serves as a major vector for several viral diseases, including dengue fever, Zika virus, chikungunya, and yellow fever. Native to Africa, it has spread to tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. The mosquito is distinguished by its black and white striped legs and a lyre-shaped pattern on its thorax. It prefers urban environments and breeds in stagnant water sources, such as discarded containers. Effective control measures include eliminating standing water and using insect repellents and mosquito nets.
