Aedes flavescens is a mosquito species in the genus Aedes, subgenus Ochlerotatus. It is distributed across Europe, the Middle East, and North America, typically inhabiting freshwater habitats such as meadows, wetlands, and floodplains. While it belongs to a genus that includes well-known disease vectors like Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, the role of Aedes flavescens in transmitting diseases remains poorly understood, though it has been studied in the context of West Nile virus surveillance.
