Abstract

The Aedes Meigen (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquito species populations in the western region of Saudi Arabia, especially in and around Jeddah, are increasing, therefore increasing susceptibility of humans to the dengue virus.

The identification was based on morphological characteristics of adult female Aedes mosquitoes.
