General Information  This genus contains more than 500 species worldwide, distributed
from the polar regions to the tropics. (D70)
 Almost 50% of all North American mosquitoes belong to this genus,
which includes many of the major pest species as well as important
disease vectors. (D70)
 In general the Aedes mosquitoes become more important as one goes
from the tropics northwards; they can be present in astronomical
numbers in Canada and Alaska. (D70)
