Aedes
''Aedes'' is a genus of mosquitoes originally found in tropical and subtropical zones, but now found on all continents excluding Antarctica. Some species have been spread by human activity. ''Aedes albopictus'', a most invasive species, was recently spread to the New World, including the US, by the used-tire trade. First described and named by Meigen in 1818, the generic name comes from the Ancient Greek ἀηδής, ''aēdēs'', meaning "unpleasant" or "odious". Some species of this genus transmit serious diseases, including dengue fever, yellow fever, and chikungunya. In Polynesia, the species ''Aedes polynesiensis'' is responsible for the transmission of human lymphatic filariasis.
''Aedes'' can be detected and monitored by ovitraps.
The yellow fever mosquito (''Aedes aegypti'') genome was sequenced by the Broad Institute and The Institute for Genomic Research. The initial assembly was released in August 2005; a draft sequence of the genome and preliminary analysis was published in June 2007. The annotated genome is available at VectorBase.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.vectorbase.org/organisms/aedes-aegypti )〕
==Characteristics==
''Aedes'' mosquitoes are visually distinctive because they have noticeable black and white markings on their body and legs. Unlike most other mosquitoes, they are active and bite only during the daytime.
