Description
Yellow fever mosquito. SEM of the mosquito Aedes aegypti, a blood-sucking insect that spreads yellow fever, dengue fever, and filiariasis. The mouthparts that the mosquito uses to pierce the skin of its victims is at lower center. Only female A. aegypti mosquitoes carry the arbovirus which causes yellow fever in humans. Affected patients develop a fever, and the skin becomes yellow due to jaundice. Yellow fever was once a fatal infection throughout the tropics, but now occurs only in parts of tropical Africa and South America.
