 note = {Several investigations of mosquito fauna in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) have been 
conducted, but there is currently little information on the mosquito species, which may be the vector to 
dengue fever. This review is a summary of the geographical distribution and breeding sites of the mosquito 
species on four states: Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei and Kosrae, the FSM. Major vectors for dengue fever and 
dengue hemorrhagic fever are Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus in urban areas of Southeast Asia and 
in the Western Pacific Resion. Aedes aegypti was collected on Pingelap Island (Pohnpei State) and on 
Kosrae Island (Kosrae State), and it was the predominant species on Pingelap Island. Aedes albopictus was 
collected on Weno Island (Chuuk State), Pohnpei Island and Kahlap Island (Mokil Atoll) (Pohnpei State), 
and on Kosrae Island (Kosrae State), and it was the predominant species on Kahlap Island and Kosrae 
Island. Entomological investigations designated the native mosquito species, Ae. hensilli, as a vector of 
the dengue virus on Yap Proper. Aedes hensilli was the predominant species on Yap Proper, Ulithi Atoll 
(Mogmog, Falarop, Asor and Fassarai Island) and Fais Island (Yap State) and Weno Island (Chuuk State), 
and it was also distributed on Romanum Island and Piis-Paneu Island (Chuuk State). Therefore, four states 
of the FSM seems to be highly dengue-sensitive. Environmental management programs are necessary to 
prevent or minimize vector propagation and human contact.},
