Ochlerotatus implicatus
Ochlerotatus implicatus is a mosquito species in the family Culicidae, first described by Vockeroth in 1954. It has been documented in Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of North America, where recent surveillance studies have recorded new distribution records for this species. The species belongs to the Aedes genus complex, which includes many floodwater mosquitoes. Research in northern Canada detected Jamestown Canyon virus in this species, indicating potential vector competence for California serogroup viruses.
Ochlerotatus provocans
Ochlerotatus provocans is a mosquito species in the family Culicidae, first described by Walker in 1848. The species has been documented in North America, with confirmed presence in Vermont. It is part of the Ochlerotatus genus, which was formerly treated as a subgenus of Aedes but is now recognized as distinct by many authorities. The species is known to occur north of the 60th parallel, placing it within Arctic and sub-Arctic regions where it has been investigated as a potential vector for Jamestown Canyon virus.
