Posted by Mosquito SquadMay 28, 2024
If you are seeing black and white mosquitoes in MA, you’re looking at the aggressive, daytime biter – the Asian tiger mosquito.
This mosquito is also often referred to as simply the tiger mosquito. No matter what you call it, their bites are fast and furious and can be painful. They can also result in a nasty secondary skin infection or mosquito-borne illness.
What illnesses do tiger mosquitoes pass to humans?
The Asian tiger mosquito is most infamous for being a vector of Zika virus. However, there are other known mosquito-borne illnesses that can possibly be spread to humans, including: Yello fever, Eastern equine encephalitis, West Nile virus, and Chikungunya – among others. The Asian tiger mosquito is also a potential carrier dengue and heartworm disease in dogs.
