8. Rift Valley Fever

Summary:

Aedes mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus) are primarily responsible for spreading Zika, Dengue, Chikungunya, and Yellow Fever.
Anopheles mosquitoes are the main vectors for Malaria.
Culex mosquitoes transmit West Nile Virus, Japanese Encephalitis, St. Louis Encephalitis, and Western Equine Encephalitis.
Culiseta melanura is a primary vector for Eastern Equine Encephalitis.

Understanding the mosquito species responsible for these diseases can help in implementing targeted control and prevention measures.
