It is called the eastern treehole mosquito due to its predilection towards breeding in stagnant water that is found in natural holding containers such as tree holes.

[4] It has been found as far south as the Florida Keys, as far west as Idaho and Utah,[2] and as far north as Quebec and Ontario.

In 2004, it was found in a shipment of tires travelling from Louisiana to France, but it was identified and targeted with insecticides that truncated its spread.

Because of its potential for international spread and its proclivity for transmitting disease, monitoring the distribution of this species is essential.

Mating typically occurs in June and July, and females must take a blood meal prior to copulation to mature a batch of eggs.

After being inundated with water, the eggs are stimulated to hatch from a lack of oxygen,[3] and this typically occurs after a rainfall.

In response, A. triseriatus will stagger egg hatching to counteract the selective pressure of irregular rainfall.

[6] La Crosse virus (LACV) is part of the California serogroup bunyavirus[9] and is transmitted by A. triseriatus.

LACV is difficult to distinguish between other central nervous system viral infections, and viral-specific IgM antibodies in the cerebral spinal fluid are used for differentiation.

[11] A simple and cost-effective way to target mosquito breeding sites is to gain community involvement in eliminating standing water in each individual's backyard.

To prevent mosquito bites and the potential for disease transmission, insect repellents containing DEET, Picaridin, IR3535, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus, Para-menthane-diol, and 2-undecanone can be utilized.

Furthermore, by wearing long-sleeves and long pants in addition to assuring proper screening at home, the prevention of mosquito bites can be maintained.
