There are nearly 200 types of mosquitoes in the U.S., but one of them -- Aedes aegypti -- has been making headlines for transmitting Zika virus more frequently than any of the others have so far.

The invasive Aedes mosquito, which is black with distinctive white stripes and are active during the day, is also known for spreading diseases like Zika, dengue, yellow fever and chikungya.
