Aedes (Finlaya) pseudomediofasciatus is a species complex of mosquito belonging to the genus Aedes . It is found in Sri Lanka, [1] and India. They are known to live around betel plantations. [2] It is a vector of Wuchereria bancrofti . [3]
Brugia malayi is a filarial (arthropod-borne) nematode (roundworm), one of the three causative agents of lymphatic filariasis in humans. Lymphatic filariasis, also known as elephantiasis, is a condition characterized by swelling of the lower limbs. The two other filarial causes of lymphatic filariasis are Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia timori, which both differ from B. malayi morphologically, symptomatically, and in geographical extent.

In 1976, it was identified as a major vector of Japanese encephalitis virus, in India. From an experiment, it was evident that aqueous solution of Calotropis gigantea leaves possess larvicidal activity, mosquito repellent activity and ovicidal activity against Culex gelidus.
Culex (Lophoceraomyia) sinensis is a species of mosquito belonging to the genus Culex.
