The Ecology & Behaviour
● Culex pipens pallens and aedes albopictus (aedine mosquito) are commonly found
species. Constantly found in balcony and outdoor area
● Mosquitoes lay eggs in humid areas with water, it varies for different species; some
prefer clean water, some dirty water, some spacious areas, some empty bins, or
cans, or even areas with only a little water
The Impact
● Female mosquitoes need blood-feeding to develop eggs. They secrete saliva to
prevent blood clotting during blood feeding. The saliva causes allergies and
itchiness
● The most frightening damage brought by mosquito bites, is that some carry
infectious diseases. Japanese encephalitis is a widely known infectious disease
carried by mosquitoes.
● Other diseases include: filaria on pets, malaria, dengue fever and West Nile fever
