In suburban Minnesota, Aedes vexans and Coquillettidia perturbans, both WNV-transmitting species, are the dominant species found in surveys, according to Jim Stark from the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District in Minneapolis. Dominant species include Semotilus atromaculatus, Campostoma anomalum, and Pimephales notatus. There can be a substantial overlap in the fauna on the various bottom types; the type is determined by the dominant species present. |
