Aedes nigromaculis, commonly known as the irrigated pasture mosquito, is a mosquito species in the genus Aedes, subgenus Ochlerotatus, and family Culicidae. It is primarily found in North America, particularly in agricultural regions of the western United States and Canada. This species is recognized for its potential to transmit arboviruses such as Western equine encephalitis virus, though it is less studied compared to prominent vectors like Aedes aegypti. It thrives in intermittently flooded environments, such as irrigated pastures, and is notable for its high reproductive rate and aggressive biting behavior toward humans and large mammals.
