Aedes vexans is a species of blood-sucking mosquitoes of the genus Aedes; component of the midges, carrier of the Japanese encephalitis virus and some other arboviruses. Aedes vexans is one of the most common and aggressive mosquito species. These mosquitoes are active at dusk and at night, prefer open spaces and often attack people and animals in large swarms. Aedes vexans mosquitoes are ubiquitous in temperate latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. They breed in stagnant or slow-moving bodies of fresh water. Aedes vexans bites cause severe itching and inflammation. These mosquitoes are carriers of dangerous diseases such as Japanese encephalitis, so their control is of epidemiological importance.



**Aedes Vexans** are a species of blood-sucking mosquito that can be potentially dangerous to human health. It is a component of midges (a group of insects, mainly mosquitoes, flies, midges that feed on the blood of humans and animals). This type of mosquito can become a carrier of the Japanese tick-borne encephalitis virus, which is included in the list of diseases dangerous to humans. Also, a study of the biology of the Japanese tick-borne encephalitis virus showed that the insect is very susceptible to the virus and, when sucking blood, more often dies than becomes infected.
