The 2015-2016 epidemic of Zika virus in the Americas raised concerns about the range of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) in the United States. In response, the University of Wisconsin Medical Entomology Laboratory coordinated with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services in 2016 to conduct Aedes spp. surveillance and set up an oviposition trap (ovitrap) network operated by local public health partners across southern and western Wisconsin. During 2016, 916 ovitrap events were processed, but only Aedes triseriatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae) and Aedes japonicus japonicus (Theobald) were detected. In 2017, a focused surveillance approach was employed to detect Ae. albopictus near sites with tires stored outdoors. Using this targeted approach, Ae. albopictus was detected from ovitraps in two out of seven counties surveyed during June, July, and August. This is the first record of Ae. albopictus in Wisconsin.
2015-2016 年美洲寨卡病毒流行引起了对美国白纹伊蚊(Skuse)分布范围的关注。作为回应,威斯康星大学医学昆虫学实验室于 2016 年与威斯康星州卫生服务部合作,对伊蚊属进行了监测,并建立了一个由当地公共卫生合作伙伴在威斯康星州南部和西部运营的诱卵器(ovitrap)网络。2016 年,共处理了 916 次诱卵器事件,但仅检测到三斑家蚊(Diptera: Culicidae)和白纹伊蚊(Theobald)。2017 年,采用了一种集中监测方法,在储存室外轮胎的地点附近检测白纹伊蚊。使用这种有针对性的方法,在 6 月、7 月和 8 月调查的七个县中的两个县的诱卵器中检测到了白纹伊蚊。这是白纹伊蚊在威斯康星州的首次记录。
