Learn about the different biting insects of the mosquito family
The Culex Mosquito
Culex mosquitoes are the predominant mosquitoes in mainland France. There are many species including the Culex pipiens or common mosquito that we all know.
Most Culex subspecies prefer to sting birds to humans or other mammals. They are therefore often considered less dangerous than Anopheles or Aedes mosquitoes. They can, however, spread serious illnesses such as West Nile fever or Japanese encephalitis.
The Tiger Mosquito (Aedes albopictus)
There are about 260 species of mosquitoes of the genus Aedes on the planet. The Aedes mosquito takes its name from the ancient Greek, which means "unpleasant", and which is justified by the very strong nuisance caused by this type of very aggressive mosquito with a painful bite.
The Anopheles mosquito
Among the 3,500 existing species of mosquitoes, there are about 430 species of the genus Anopheles. Very feared, the Anopheles mosquito is the mosquito capable of transmitting malaria.
The sandfly
Sandflies are very small insects that look like small gnats. They are capable of transmitting serious diseases.
