Our article documents the presence of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) from urban and rural locations in the lower Himalaya Mountains, northern Pakistan. Larvae were collected from graveyards, junkyards, plant nurseries, parks, and houses. Used tires, bird drinking pots, and water storage containers were the most common containers used by this mosquito. In the absence of Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae), Ae. albopictus appears to be the primary vector of recent dengue virus outbreaks.
我们的文章记录了白纹伊蚊（Skuse）在巴基斯坦北部下喜马拉雅山脉的城市和农村地区的存在。幼虫是从墓地、垃圾场、苗圃、公园和房屋中收集的。这种蚊子最常使用的容器是废旧轮胎、鸟类饮水盆和储水容器。在埃及伊蚊（L.）（双翅目：蚊科）不存在的情况下，白纹伊蚊似乎是最近登革热病毒爆发的主要传播媒介。
