Aedes mosquitoes

As mosquito larvae are relatively easy to kill with insecticides, any toxic spray residue is likely to be detected. Two species of mosquito larvae were used, the yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti L.) and the southern house mosquito (Culex quinquefasdatus Say). Tests with the southern house mosquito were made essentially according to the method of Campbell, Sullivan, and Smith (I), except for the kind of food supplied and size of containers used.

The jet plane has made it easy to travel to and from previously inaccessible parts of the world, for business or vacation. Infectious diseases or agents that transmit these diseases can, therefore, be rapidly transferred to countries in which the population has never encountered the diseases, so that the infection rapidly spreads throughout the population. Such transport of pathogens is reminiscent of the transmission of diseases that were previously unknown in North America but were transported from Africa in the slave ships. For example, the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which transmits the virus that causes yellow fever, was probably transported in water barrels on these ships.
