As a geographically isolated island chain with no native mosquitoes, Hawaii is a model for examining the mechanisms behind insect vector invasions and their subsequent interactions with each other and with human populations. The yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, and the Asian tiger mosquito, Ae. albopictus, have been responsible for epidemics of dengue in Hawaii. As one of the world's earliest locations to be invaded by both species, Hawaii's history is particularly relevant because both species are currently invading new areas worldwide and are implicated in outbreaks of emergent or reemergent pathogens such as dengue, chikungunya, and yellow fever. Here we analyze the historical records of mosquito introductions in order to understand the factors that have led to the current distribution of these 2 mosquitoes in the Hawaiian Islands.
作为一个没有本地蚊子的地理隔离岛屿链，夏威夷是研究昆虫病媒入侵背后的机制以及它们随后彼此之间以及与人类群体相互作用的典范。埃及伊蚊和白纹伊蚊这两种蚊子曾在夏威夷引发登革热疫情。作为世界上最早被这两种蚊子入侵的地区之一，夏威夷的历史尤为重要，因为这两种蚊子目前正在全球范围内入侵新的地区，并与登革热、基孔肯雅热和黄热病等新出现或再次出现的病原体的爆发有关。在这里，我们分析蚊子引入的历史记录，以了解导致这两种蚊子在夏威夷群岛目前分布情况的因素。
