The following are examples of viruses that transmitted to human by various species of mosquitoes:

  • Japanese encephalitis
  • dengue fever
  • yellow fever
  • St. Louis encephalitis
  • eastern equine encephalitis (EEE)
  • western equine encephalitis (WEE)
  • Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE)

malaria is not included because it is caused by a parasite which is carried by the mosquito and not a virus.
