Aedes aegypti
Aedes aegypti known as yellow fever mosquito is a mosquito that can spread yellow fever viruses, the dengue fever, Chikungunya and other diseases. It can be recognized by white markings on legs and a marking in the form of a lyre on the thorax. The mosquito originated in Africa but is now found in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world. The genome of this species of mosquito was sequenced and published in 2007.
