The aim of this video is to disseminate knowledge about mosquitoes of the species Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus and Aedes polynesiensis, presenting these arthropods as the vectors of Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya, which in recent years have caused serious public health problems throughout the world. The documentary is permeated by real and virtual images that portray the external and internal morphological characteristics of mosquitoes, as well as the evolutionary process of viral infection in the tissues and organs of these arthropods, especially the extrinsic incubation period (the time it takes the infected mosquito to be able to infect a new host)

The cinematographic originality of this work emanates from the strategies used in the making of the scenes, that show unpublished details of the life of Aedes mosquitoes. The images were obtained by shooting with HD and high speed cameras, as well as by 3D virtual modelling and animation.

Host: João Pinto
