first report in italy of the exotic mosquito species aedes (finlaya) koreicus, a potential vector of arboviruses and filariae.

in the veneto region (north-eastern italy) an entomological surveillance system has been implemented since the introduction of the asian tiger mosquito (aedes albopictus) in 1991. during the routine monitoring activity in a tiger mosquito-free area, an unexpected mosquito was noticed, which clearly did not belong to the recorded italian fauna.
