Aedes triseriatus is a member of the true fly order (Diptera: Culicidae). It is called the eastern tree hole mosquito due to its predilection towards breeding in stagnant water that is found in natural holding containers such as tree holes.[2] It is native to the eastern United States and southern Canada [3] and favors hardwood habitats.[4] It has been found as far south as the Florida Keys, as far west as Idaho and Utah,[2] and as far north as Quebec and Ontario.[5] This species has not yet been found in Europe, but it has the potential to spread through international trade. In 2004, it was found in a shipment of tires travelling from Louisiana to France, but it was identified and targeted with insecticides that truncated its spread.[5] It is a known vector of La Crosse encephalitis and canine heartworm disease.[2] In the laboratory, it has been found to vector several other viruses including yellow fever, eastern encephalitis, Venezuelan encephalitis, and western encephalitis. Because of its potential for international spread and its proclivity for transmitting disease, monitoring the distribution of this species is essential.
