The Aedes aegypti mosquito is known to transmit several diseases, including Chikungunya, Dengue, and Yellow fever. However, it does not transmit Chicken-pox.

Chikungunya is a viral disease characterized by fever and severe joint pain. It is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito.

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection that causes high fever, severe headache, joint and muscle pain, and rash. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is the primary vector for the transmission of dengue fever.

Yellow fever is a viral hemorrhagic fever that is transmitted by infected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. It can cause jaundice, high fever, and organ failure.

Chicken-pox, on the other hand, is caused by the varicella-zoster virus and is primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets from infected individuals. It is not known to be transmitted by mosquitoes, including Aedes aegypti.
