Aedes poicilius is a species of mosquito from the Aedes genus.
Aedes poicilius can be found in The Philippines in regions such as Sorsogon Province in the Bicol Region and Panay Island. [1]
This species is particularly abundant in areas near plantations and rural environments, where they can achieve high densities. [2] These mosquitoes exhibit both indoor and outdoor biting behavior and are active throughout the day and night, with slight peaks during specific evening hours.
Aedes poicilius is a vector of Wuchereria bancrofti , the parasite responsible for Bancroftian filariasis. [3]
