Aedini
Aedini is the largest tribe of mosquitoes in the subfamily Culicinae, comprising approximately 1,256 species across 81 genera. Members include many medically important vectors such as Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, which transmit dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever viruses. The tribe exhibits considerable diversity in ecology, ranging from container-breeding species to floodwater mosquitoes, with many species adapted to temperate climates through embryonic diapause.
Culiseta
Culiseta is a genus of mosquitoes in the family Culicidae. Most species are cold-adapted and occur in warmer climates primarily during colder seasons or at higher elevations. The genus is distributed worldwide except South America. Several species are significant disease vectors, including C. melanura, the primary vector of eastern equine encephalitis virus in North America. Species exhibit diverse larval habitats ranging from bogs and marshes to tree holes, rock pools, and underground sites.
