Aedes taeniorhynchus is an ectoparasite of waved albatrosses. Adult mosquitoes feed on a combination diet of blood and sugar, with the optimal diet consisting of sugar for males and both blood and sugar for females. [5] Most Ae. taeniorhynchus rely on mammals and birds for blood meals, especially depending on bovine, rabbits, and armadillos. [37]
The mosquito genus Aedes encompasses over 900 species and several subgenera that are found on all continents except Antarctica, but especially in tropical and subtropical zones. Some of the most well-known species include Aedes aegypti , A. albopictus , and A. japonicus .
Aedes (also known as the tiger mosquito [1]) is a genus of mosquitoes originally found in tropical and subtropical zones, but now found on all continents except Antarctica.

The virus is transmitted to people and horses by bites from infected mosquitoes (Culex tarsalis and Aedes taeniorhynchus) and birds during wet, summer months. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] According to the CDC, geographic occurrence for this virus is worldwide, and tends to be more prevalent in places in and around swampy areas where human populations tend to be ...
Culex taenopius mosquitos, which prefer rodents, were replaced by Aedes taeniorhynchus mosquitoes, which are more likely to bite humans and large equines. [citation needed] Though the majority of VEE outbreaks occur in Central and South America, the virus has potential to outbreak again in the United States.
The larval habitat of Culex tritaeniorhynchus primarily consists of low lying water logged areas such as grasses and fallow rice fields, but this species can also be found in wells, ponds, ditches and has been reported in urban environments in close proximity to human populations, such as water storage containers in houses.
