In Florida, about 20/70 species are potential vectors. The main vectors near the coasts are 2 mosquitoes that breed in salt marshes ( Aedes. taeniorhynchus and Ae. sollicitans) and one freshwater species ( Cx. nigripalpus) . The inland vectors that breed in fresh water are Culex. quinquefasciatus, Cx. salinarius, Ae.aegypti, An. quadrimaculatus and Mn. titillans . These mosquitoes breed in a wide variety of habitats including marshes, swamps, ponds, ditches, cans, bottles, old tires and trash piles. See http://www.pitt.edu/~super1/lecture/lec10991/index.htm
