*** Stegomyia fasciata = Aedes aegypti (yellow fever mosquito) ***
The yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) is a mosquito that can spread dengue fever, chikungunya, Zika fever, Mayaro and yellow fever viruses, and other disease agents. The yellow fever mosquito can be recognized by black and white markings on its legs and a marking in the form of a lyre on the upper surface of its thorax. This mosquito originated in Africa, but is now found in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions throughout the world.
