In Florida,
about 20/70 species are potential vectors. The main vectors near the coasts
are 2 mosquitoes that breed in salt marshes ( Aedes. taeniorhynchus
and Ae. sollicitans) and one freshwater species ( Cx.
nigripalpus) . The inland vectors that breed in fresh water are
Culex. quinquefasciatus, Cx. salinarius, Ae.aegypti, An. quadrimaculatus
and Mn. titillans . These mosquitoes breed in a wide variety of
habitats including marshes, swamps, ponds, ditches, cans, bottles, old tires
and trash piles. See
