description The black salt marsh mosquito is very common in the eastern coastal areas of the Americas, and is responsible for a large part of mosquito insecticide applications in Florida. Although it is not a primary vector of major concern, it can transmit pathogens to humans and other animals. Its characteristic emergence in large numbers after rains and flooding events as well as its aggressive biting contribute to its notoriety as a pest insect. The black salt marsh mosquito is considered a nuisance in Florida. It is sheltered from large-scale mosquito control as part of the Everglades National Park conservation program to preserve their delicate ecosystem. This 7-page fact sheet was written by Natasha Marie Agramonte and C. Roxanne Connelly, and published by the UF Department of Entomology and Nematology, April 2014.
