Feb 21, 2025 · Aedes, (genus Aedes), genus of more than 950 species of mosquitoes, some members of which are serious biting nuisances and vectors of disease, sometimes transmitting potentially deadly pathogens (disease-causing organisms) to humans and other animals.

Aedes aegypti (UK: / ˈiːdiːz /; US: / eɪdz / or / ˈeɪdiːz / from Greek αηδής 'hateful' and / eɪˈdʒɪpti / from Latin, meaning 'of Egypt'), the yellow fever mosquito, is a mosquito that can spread dengue fever, chikungunya, Zika fever, Mayaro and yellow fever viruses, and other disease agents.

It takes about 7–10 days for an egg to develop into an adult mosquito. Pupae live in water. They develop into adult, flying mosquitoes in 2–3 days. Female mosquitoes lay eggs in containers that hold water. Larvae live in water. They develop into pupae in as few as 5 days. Eggs hatch within a few days to months when covered with water.

Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus can transmit viruses to people when they bite, including dengue, chikungunya, and Zika. Currently, only dengue virus has been transmitted by mosquitoes in California, and this happens very rarely.
