Aedes scapularis

provided by wikipedia EN

Aedes scapularis is a species of mosquito primarily found in neo-tropical regions of the Americas.

Classification

Aedes scapularis is one of many species of the genus Aedes. Several Aedes species have been reclassified as Ochlerotatus, with Ae. scapulari sometimes included in this revision.[2]

Distribution

Aedes scapularis has been recorded throughout neo-tropical regions of the western hemisphere. Larval specimens were reported in the Florida Keys in 1945, and in 2020 the species was reported as being endemic in Miami-Dade and Broward counties in Florida.[3][4]

Biology

Its habitat was originally associated with forest habitats, but it has become urbanized and is now reported breeding in artificial water containers.[5][6]

Forattini & Gomes 1988 reported that this mosquito showed diurnal and nocturnal activity, but was most active during the evening crepuscular period.[7]

Medical importance

It is known to bite humans and can carry a number of diseases, including yellow fever, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, and other human pathogens.[3]

In 2021, authorities in southeastern Florida stated that, although it has become established there, this species of mosquito is not considered a vector of concern for disease in humans nor other animals,[8] as the diseases it can transmit are not endemic to that area.

Aedes scapularis ( Spanish; Castilian )

provided by wikipedia ES

Aedes scapularis es una especie de díptero de la familia Culicidae portador del virus de la fiebre amarilla, la encefalitis equina venezolana y vector ocasional del parásito Wuchereria bancrofti.[2]

Biología y distribución

Se encuentra en todos los estados de Brasil y su hábitat se extiende por América tropical y subtropical incluyendo el norte de Argentina, Bahamas, Belice, Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, República Dominicana, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guyana Francesa, Granada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haití, Honduras, Jamaica, México, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Perú, Surinam, Trinidad y Tobago, Uruguay, Venezuela y el sur de Texas.

Su densidad poblacional está grandemente influenciada por la presencia de lluvias ya que se encuentran en mayor cantidad durante la estación lluviosa, convirtiéndose entonces en una plaga insoportable.

Como otros mosquitos, la hembra de A. scapularis es hematófaga. La hembra posee una probóscide que utiliza para extraer sangre de las víctimas, principalmente mamíferos de gran tamaño como bovinos y equinos. Es principalmente de hábitos crepusculares,[3]​ aunque bien puede alimentarse a cualquier hora del día como de la noche.
