Aedes pertinax, a little-studied tropical mosquito that has found its way into the USA, has recently been discovered to have existed in the Florida Keys for almost 25 years. A 2021 collection of Ae. pertinax adult females in Key Largo, FL, sparked a retrospective search for stored specimens collected in 1998 on Big Pine Key, FL. Positive identification of the specimens from the 1998 collection confirmed the specimens to be Ae. pertinax, predating the first reported specimen in the USA by 13 years.
埃及伊蚊，一种研究较少的热带蚊子，已进入美国，最近在佛罗里达群岛被发现存在近 25 年。2021 年在佛罗里达州拉戈收集的埃及伊蚊成蚊，引发了对 1998 年在佛罗里达州大松岛收集的储存标本进行回溯性搜索。对 1998 年采集标本的鉴定证实，这些标本为埃及伊蚊，比美国第一份报告的标本早 13 年。
