Aedes Aegypti Model
Product Code : JC-BE-5207
The Aedes Aegypti Model by Jaincolab is an enlarged biology teaching model of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, one of the most medically important mosquito species and the principal vector of dengue, chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever viruses. Designed for zoology, entomology and medical parasitology laboratories, this Aedes aegypti teaching model highlights the distinctive external features that identify this species.
Aedes aegypti is easily recognized by the silvery-white, lyre-shaped (violin-shaped) markings on its dorsal thorax, along with black and white banded markings on its legs and abdomen, giving it a striking striped appearance. Unlike many other mosquito species, Aedes aegypti is a day-biting mosquito that breeds preferentially in small collections of clean water in artificial containers found in and around human dwellings, such as discarded tyres, flower pots and water storage vessels. Because of this close association with human habitation and its role as a disease vector, this species is of major importance in medical entomology and vector-borne disease control programs. This Jaincolab biology equipment model presents these identifying features enlarged for classroom study.
