The results of surveillance for immature stages of mosquitoes in samples of wet tires in 5 consignments imported into Durban from Japan is reported. Three of these consignments contained tires with immatures of Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus and Uranotaenia n. novobscura. The proportions of all the wet tires calculated to contain mosquitoes were 189/1,488 (13%), 20/813 (2.5%) and 13/1,032 (1.3%) which emphasizes the need for effective mosquito control measures to prevent Ae. albopictus escaping from such tires and establishing itself in Durban.
报告了对从日本进口到德班的5批货物中湿轮胎样本里蚊子幼虫阶段的监测结果。其中3批货物中的轮胎含有埃及伊蚊、白纹伊蚊和新暗蓝带蚊的幼虫。经计算，所有含蚊子的湿轮胎比例分别为189/1488（13%）、20/813（2.5%）和13/1032（1.3%），这凸显了采取有效蚊虫控制措施以防止白纹伊蚊从此类轮胎中逃逸并在德班定殖的必要性。
