The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (Skuse), is a tropical species originally from south-eastern Asia (Hawley, 1988). It has experienced a rampant human-mediated range expansion since the 1970s to now occupy almost the whole of the tropical and subtropical areas of the world. As an eclectic haematophagous species, it attacks humans and is able to use a number of man-made and natural structures where stagnant water is present (Estrada-Franco Craig, 1995). Eggs are able to survive for extended periods of time in complete dryness and diapause over unsuitable cold season, making it an especially resilient species (Hawley, 1988).
亚洲虎蚊,白纹伊蚊(斯库斯),是一种原产于东南亚的热带物种(霍利,1988年)。自20世纪70年代以来,它在人类的介导下经历了猖獗的范围扩张,如今几乎占据了世界上所有的热带和亚热带地区。作为一种兼性吸血物种,它会叮咬人类,并能够利用许多存在积水的人造和自然结构(埃斯特拉达 - 佛朗哥·克雷格,1995年)。卵能够在完全干燥的环境中长时间存活,并在不适宜的寒冷季节进入滞育状态,使其成为一种特别有韧性的物种(霍利,1988年)。
