Human Blood Types and the Aedes Aegypti Mosquito's Reproductive Success

This paper proposes to investigate the close relationship between reproductive success of human blood and mosquito Aedes aegypti. We want to explore whether certain types of human blood are positively correlated with mosquito fertility and survival. Before starting the experiment it is important to understand important background information on this insect. A. Aegypti Mosquitoes are attractive insects attracting a great deal of attention from entomologists around the world to study their complex physiology that affect human life.

Dengue is a viral disease transmitted by the city Aedes aegypti. Aedes mosquitoes (also known as Stegomyia), especially Aedes aegypti (as shown on the left) often coexist with humans in tropical urban areas. Mosquitoes put eggs in a container filled with water in or around the house. This includes large containers that are intentionally filled with water, such as uncovered cans, barrels, aquariums for drinking water. Containers such as thrown bottles and food are carelessly filled with rainwater. When the sun is indirect, mosquitoes occasionally bite the most common places. This includes outdoor, indoor, shaded places, or cloudy places early in the evening and evening.

Aedes has two special species, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Aedes aegypti, also known as yellow fever mosquito, has been found in urban areas, active both indoors and outdoors, and likes humans as a source of blood meals. Aedes albopictus, commonly known as Asian tiger mosquitoes, is mainly associated with vegetation areas and is mainly found outdoors; women bit livestock, wildlife, and humans.

Dica virus infection is caused by mosquito-borne viruses. It is Aedes mosquito mosquito species, the most common are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Aedes also spreads dengue fever and chikungunya virus. Mosquitoes infect people taking infected dica virus with blood. Mosquitoes can spread viruses to others through their bite. Dicaviruses can cause microcephaly in babies born to women who are infected during pregnancy. Microcephaly is a rare congenital deficit, the baby's head is smaller than expected. This may be related to brain development problems. Other possible negative pregnancy outcomes include hearing impairment and neonatal dysfunction

Yellow fever spreads through infected Aedes aegypti bite. When mosquito bites a person with yellow fever, it infects. Yellow fever does not occur directly from person to person. Aedes aegypti is not found in New York State. Most people infected with yellow fever virus have neither disease nor mild illness. Symptomatic persons usually cause sudden fever, chills, heavy headache, back pain, weakness, nausea (illness in the stomach) and vomiting. After these initial symptoms appear, most people feel better, but others have more serious symptoms. As the disease progresses, the eyes and skin white turn yellow, heart rate slows down and weakens, gum bleeding and urine may come out. Symptoms usually occur within 3-6 days after being infected by infected mosquitoes
