Coquillettidia perturbans is a species of mosquito that have been documented in every continent except Antarctica.[1] This mosquito is a known as a vector of West Nile virus and Eastern equine encephalomyelitis.[2][3] The geographic range of C. perturbans is increasing due to the growing extensity of the feeding area.[2][4] They are known to exist throughout the United States, mainly with a southern distribution, and are mammalophilic.[2][4][5]
