Mosquitoes, belonging to the family Culicidae, are divided into several genera, notably Aedes, Anopheles, and Culex, each associated with different diseases. Female mosquitoes feed on blood to develop eggs, contributing to their role as vectors for diseases like malaria and dengue fever. Understanding these insects is crucial for controlling their populations and preventing the spread of diseases they transmit.
