Dengue Mosquitoes Bite During the Day
Unlike malaria-transmitting Anopheles mosquitoes, dengue mosquitoes are active during daylight hours, especially early morning and late afternoon. They can bite throughout the day, particularly in shady areas. Aedes mosquitoes take multiple blood meals in a single sitting, increasing disease transmission risk.
Dengue Mosquitoes Breed in Stagnant Water
Aedes mosquitoes breed in clean, stagnant water, often found in flower pots, discarded tires, buckets, bird baths, clogged drains, and water storage containers. Even small amounts of water are sufficient for breeding.
