Aedes vigilax can<br />
transmit Ross River virus<br />
and Barmah Forest virus.<br />
In Darwin, salt marsh<br />
mosquito numbers<br />
increase after each<br />
succeeding spring tide<br />
and heavy rain between<br />
<strong>August</strong> and January. Very<br />
high Ae. vigilax numbers<br />
can usually be expected<br />
between October and<br />
mid-January, depending<br />
on tides and rain. <strong>The</strong><br />
mosquitoes are largely<br />
absent or occur in<br />
relatively low numbers<br />
from February to July.<br />
Mangrove biting midge<br />
abundance is usually highest<br />
3 days either side of the full<br />
moon and, to a lesser extent,<br />
3 days either side of the new<br />
moon. Relatively low<br />
numbers occur during the<br />
wet season, with an increase<br />
from April to July. Highest<br />
numbers usually occur<br />
between <strong>August</strong> and<br />
December.<br />
