A chronological list of species based on date of publication is provided for confirmed mosquito species in West Virginia. Five additional newly found species in the state are documented with collection data. Two previously misidentified or mislabeled published records are corrected. The number of confirmed species occurring in the state is now 35, and many more species are likely present, but undetected. Significant populations of 4 widely distributed known vector species, Aedes albopictus , Ae. japonicus japonicus, Ae. triseriatus, and Culex pipiens , in West Virginia signal an urgent need for additional studies, surveillance, and increased mosquito control efforts to help prevent future native and invasive arbovirus infections and outbreaks in local residents.
提供了一份按出版日期排序的西弗吉尼亚州已确认蚊种清单。记录了该州另外5个新发现物种的采集数据。纠正了两个先前错误鉴定或错误标注的已发表记录。该州目前已确认的蚊种数量为35种,可能还有更多物种存在但未被发现。西弗吉尼亚州4种广泛分布的已知病媒蚊种,即白纹伊蚊、日本伊蚊、三带喙库蚊和致倦库蚊的大量种群,表明迫切需要开展更多研究、监测并加强蚊虫控制工作,以帮助预防未来本地居民感染和爆发本地及入侵性虫媒病毒。
