The mosquito that spreads dengue fever is called "Aedes aegypti" in scientific terms, and in Tamil, it is referred to as "ஏடிஸ் எஜிப்டி" (Aedis Ejipti). This mosquito is also known for transmitting other diseases such as chikungunya and Zika virus. It is characterized by its distinct white markings on the legs and a lyre-shaped pattern on its thorax. Proper mosquito control measures are essential to prevent the spread of dengue fever.
