It is primarily found in coastal and freshwater regions of Australia, including the locality of Hexham, New South Wales, after which it is named. While not considered a major disease vector, Ae. alternans has been shown to be capable of transmitting the Ross River virus and Barmah Forest virus under laboratory conditions.[1]
Distribution
Aedes alternans is distributed across Australia, with specific records indicating its presence in New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria, and Western Australia.[2] It has also been observed in New Caledonia.[3]
