There are 112 genera of mosquitoes, containing approximately 3,500 species.Elbers ARW, Koenraadt CJM, and Meiswinkel R (2015) Mosquitoes and Culicoides biting midges: vector range and the influence of climate change. Rev Sci Tech 34: 123–137 Human malaria is transmitted only by females of the genus ''Anopheles''. Of the approximately 430 ''Anopheles'' species, while over 100 are known to be able to transmit malaria to humans, only 30–40 commonly do so in nature. Mosquitoes in other genera can transmit different diseases, such as yellow fever and dengue for species in the genus ''Aedes''. The genus ''Aedes'' has over 950 species. Since breeding and biting habit differ considerably between species, species identification is important for control programmes.
