Culex tarsalis mosquito (dorsal view)

Culex tarsalis mosquito is a vector of many mosquito-borne diseases. The epidemiologic importance of C. tarsalis lies in its ability to spread Western equine encephalitis, St. Louis encephalitis, and California encephalitis. At one point, it was the main vector of West Nile virus in the western United States. (Source: Public Health Image Library, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia.
