In the summer of 2005, the Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus (Skuse) (Diptera: Culicidae) was found for the first time in the Netherlands. It was collected on the premises of several horticultural companies that import the ornamental plant Dracaena sanderiana (Sparagalus: Dracaenaceae [Agavaceae]), known as Lucky bamboo, from southern China, an area endemic for this mosquito species and for arboviruses transmitted by this vector. Here we report the results of a 1-year survey of the distribution and vector status of Ae. albopictus in Lucky bamboo nurseries in the Netherlands (July 2006-June 2007). As it had been established previously that the presence of this species was linked to the import of Lucky bamboo, the survey was conducted only on sites owned by relevant import companies. In total, 569 adult Ae. albopictus were collected with mosquito traps from 15 of the 17 (88%) glasshouses used by Lucky bamboo importers, none of which were found to be infected with dengue virus. On two occasions there was evidence that Ae. albopictus had escaped from the glasshouses, but, overall, there was no evidence that a population had become established in the greenhouses or elsewhere.
2005年夏天，在荷兰首次发现了白纹伊蚊（Skuse）（双翅目：蚊科）。它是在几家园艺公司的场地中采集到的，这些公司从中国南方进口观赏植物富贵竹（百合科[龙舌兰科]），中国南方是这种蚊子及其传播的虫媒病毒的流行地区。在此，我们报告了对荷兰富贵竹苗圃中白纹伊蚊分布和媒介状况进行的为期1年的调查结果（2006年7月至2007年6月）。由于此前已确定该物种的存在与富贵竹的进口有关，因此该调查仅在相关进口公司拥有的场地进行。总共用捕蚊器从17个富贵竹进口商使用的温室中的15个（88%）收集到了569只成年白纹伊蚊，其中没有发现感染登革病毒的。有两次有证据表明白纹伊蚊从温室中逃脱，但总体而言，没有证据表明其种群已在温室或其他地方建立。
