Mosquito Overview in the United States
In the United States, mosquitoes represent both a seasonal nuisance and a public health vector. While large-scale outbreaks of malaria and yellow fever were eradicated in the mid-20th century, endemic pathogens like West Nile Virus continue to pose annual risks across multiple states. Invasive species like Aedes albopictus (Asian Tiger Mosquito) have expanded their range across the eastern and southern states.
