A larval survey of nine used tire disposal sites in Connecticut, was conducted from June through October 1987. No larvae of Aedes albopictus were uncovered indicating that this mosquito is not yet established in the state. However, eight other mosquito species in four genera were found. The most abundant and widely distributed species found breeding in permanent tire dumps were Ae. atropalpus, Ae. triseriatus and Culex restuans. Culex pipiens was the second most common Culex species followed by Cx. territans and Cx. salinarius. Other species included Anopheles punctipennis and Culiseta melanura. Larvae of Ae. atropalpus and Cx. salinarius were most frequently recovered from tire casings exposed to direct sunlight, while Ae. triseriatus and Cs. melanura predominated in tires shaded by bordering trees and low-lying vegetation. The other mosquito species showed no discernable preference for either habitat type.
1987年6月至10月，对康涅狄格州的9个废旧轮胎处理场进行了幼虫调查。未发现白纹伊蚊幼虫，这表明该蚊子在该州尚未定殖。然而，发现了四个属的其他八种蚊子。在永久性轮胎堆放场繁殖的最丰富且分布最广的物种是阿氏伊蚊、三带喙库蚊和雷氏库蚊。致倦库蚊是第二常见的库蚊物种，其次是尖音库蚊和盐泽库蚊。其他物种包括斑点按蚊和黑背库蠓。阿氏伊蚊和盐泽库蚊的幼虫最常从暴露在直射阳光下的轮胎胎体中发现，而三带喙库蚊和黑背库蠓则在周边树木和低洼植被遮蔽的轮胎中占主导地位。其他蚊子物种对这两种栖息地类型均无明显偏好。
