Nyamuk Aides
Aedes Albopictus is also dangerous?
On this occasion, I will discuss one of the mosquitoes that is also dangerous and can also transmit dengue virus as well. This mosquito is a genus with Aedes Aegipty mosquitoes so its first name is the same. This type of mosquito usually live in the tropics and also Asia. But according to a source, now this mosquito began to spread to various parts of the world such as Africa, Caribbean, North America, and South America.
This type of mosquito usually moves from morning to afternoon nonstop so it can be concluded that this mosquito is much more active than Aedes Aegipty. And worse again, this mosquito can suck / bite human blood up to several times a day. These mosquitoes are also not infrequently bite animals, especially monkeys. Aedes Albopictus mosquitoes prefer to breed outside the home, especially in bamboo forests.
Aedes Albopictus mosquitoes are also often called mosquito gardens because very often appear in the plantation area. This is reasonable because these mosquitoes also breed outside the home. ![image]
Habitats that are often used to breed are like holes in trees, puddles in coconut shells, grooves of plants and also pieces of bamboo stems.
Basically these mosquitoes live in forest areas or away from human settlements, but due to diminishing land, these mosquitoes adapt and now live around us along with Aedes Aegipty mosquitoes.
Just like Aedes Aegipty's mosquito, Ae. Albopictus is also very much in number when the rainy season comes, because during this season a lot of water, pooled outside the house that they will use as a place to breed. The flying distance of an Ae mosquito. Albopictus can reach 400 to 600 meters per day. And they are very unlikely to migrate.
So, Ae mosquito. Albopicus is also dangerous because this type of mosquito can also carry dengue virus in the body and pass it to apes and humans, just like Ae. Aegipty. Even this mosquito can fly further and also berkativitas throughout the day.Thank Kiss Follow And Upvote Me @zoebir
