| failure of aedes albopictus to overwinter following introduction and seasonal establishment at a tire recycling plant in the northeastern usa. | in july 2006, an introduction of the asian tiger mosquito, aedes albopictus, was documented for the first time at a commercial tire recycling plant in northeastern connecticut, usa. the introduction likely occurred via transport of infested tires originating from northern new jersey or metropolitan new york city. efforts were made to determine seasonal establishment and overwintering success by assessing adult biting and oviposition activity in the surrounding woodlands. the first adult female w ... | 2009 | 19432065 |
| aedes albopictus and aedes japonicus - two invasive mosquito species with different temperature niches in europe. | aedes albopictus and ae. japonicus are two of the most widespread invasive mosquito species that have recently become established in western europe. both species are associated with the transmission of a number of serious diseases and are projected to continue their spread in europe. | 2016 | 27814747 |
| first record of the asian bush mosquito, aedes japonicus japonicus, in italy: invasion from an established austrian population. | in 2011 we identified the asian bush mosquito, aedes japonicus japonicus (theobald, 1901) (diptera: culicidae) for the first time in northern slovenia and in the bordering austrian federal state of styria. between may and july 2012 the distribution area of ae. j. japonicus was already found to be extended westwards into carinthia and eastwards towards burgenland and bordering hungary. in august 2012 the species was first detected in a western province of hungary. in subsequent years, follow-up f ... | 2016 | 27184024 |
| [mosquitoes as vectors for exotic pathogens in germany]. | as a result of intensified globalization of international trade and of substantial travel activities, mosquito-borne exotic pathogens are becoming an increasing threat for europe. in germany some 50 different mosquito species are known, several of which have vector competence for pathogens. during the last few years a number of zoonotic arboviruses that are pathogenic for humans have been isolated from mosquitoes in germany including usutu, sindbis and batai viruses. in addition, filarial worms, ... | 2014 | 24781910 |
| mosquito species (diptera: culicidae) persistence and synchrony across an urban altitudinal gradient. | patterns of mosquito spatial persistence and temporal presence, as well as synchrony, i.e., the degree of concerted fluctuations in abundance, have been scarcely studied at finely grained spatial scales and over altitudinal gradients. here, we present a spatial persistence, temporal presence, and synchrony analysis of four common mosquito species across the altitudinal gradient of mt. konpira in nagasaki, japan. we found that aedes albopictus (skuse) was more frequently found at the mountain bas ... | 2017 | 28025246 |
| first record of aedes koreicus (diptera: culicidae) in germany. | within the framework of a national mosquito monitoring programme, a mosquito specimen collected in mid-2015 in southern germany was identified as aedes koreicus, a non-endemic species originating from east asia. after the asian bush mosquito aedes japonicus, which is already established in germany and widely distributed, and the asian tiger mosquito aedes albopictus, which is increasingly often introduced from southern europe, a. koreicus is the third demonstrated invasive mosquito species in ge ... | 2016 | 26614356 |
| geospatial analysis of invasion of the asian tiger mosquito aedes albopictus: competition with aedes japonicus japonicus in its northern limit area in japan. | the mosquito aedes albopictus, indigenous to southeast asia and nearby islands, has spread almost worldwide during recent decades. we confirm the invasion of this mosquito, first reported in yamagata city in northeast honshu, japan in 2000. previously, only ae. japonicus japonicus had been collected in this place, but 2 years later, the population of ae. albopictus had increased, so more than 80% of the total number of larval colonies there consisted of this species. in contrast to yamagata's ne ... | 2014 | 24893018 |
| monitoring of alien mosquitoes of the genus aedes (diptera: culicidae) in austria. | systematic, continuous mosquito surveillance is considered the most reliable tool to predict the spread and establishment of alien mosquito species such as the asian tiger mosquito (aedes albopictus), japanese bush mosquito (aedes japonicus), and the transmission risk of mosquito-borne arboviruses to humans. only single individuals of ae. albopictus have been found in austria so far. however, it is likely that the species will be able to establish populations in the future due to global trade an ... | 2019 | 30877440 |
| first detection of aedes japonicus in spain: an unexpected finding triggered by citizen science. | aedes japonicus is an invasive vector mosquito from southeast asia which has been spreading across central europe since the year 2000. unlike the asian tiger mosquito (aedes albopictus) present in spain since 2004, there has been no record of ae. japonicus in the country until now. | 2019 | 30674335 |
| first record of aedes albopictus (diptera: culicidae) and second record of aedes japonicus (diptera: culicidae) parasitized by water mites (acari: hydrachnidiae) in north america. | the primary aim of this study was to determine if the asian tiger mosquito (aedes albopictus (skuse)) (diptera: culicidae), that vectors a number of arboviruses, is parasitized by water mites (acari: prostigmata: parasitengonina: hydrachnidiae). larval water mite parasitism of adult mosquitoes has been shown to reduce mosquito fecundity and life span in the laboratory, and impact some populations in the field. water mites have been considered for biocontrol purposes and used to age-grade mosquit ... | 2018 | 30020480 |
