and are invasive mosquito species that are causing great public concern. have successfully spread in Croatia, established in both the coastal and continental parts of the country, while is invading temperate climate areas. The invasive species are particularly attracted to the black plastic water containers and flower vases in cemeteries where they oviposit their eggs. Therefore, monitoring of this species was carried out in 12 cemeteries in Zagreb, using ovitraps with masonite strips as a substrate for oviposition. The monitoring was carried out from 2017 to 2020. The traps were inspected and the substrate was replaced every two weeks. This study showed that these two invasive species were present and very abundant in the cemeteries. In the case of , a higher population density and a greater number of occupied cemeteries were detected. This species was identified in all 12 cemeteries. was identified as the dominant species at all study sites. The spread of increased during 2018 in comparison to the previous year. Although this species was present in approximately 9% of the ovitraps, the observed population remained consistent throughout the course of the study. The findings indicate that cemeteries can be considered as significant public health hotspots, as the invasive mosquitoes tend to develop and reproduce in such environments. Consequently, the mosquito population of these two invasive species may only be reduced by applying integrated mosquito management measures, focused on the education of citizens.
[物种名称1]和[物种名称2]是入侵性蚊子物种，引起了公众的极大关注。[物种名称1]已在克罗地亚成功传播，在该国沿海和大陆地区均已立足，而[物种名称2]正在入侵温带气候地区。这些入侵性蚊子物种特别被墓地中的黑色塑料水容器和花瓶所吸引，它们在那里产卵。因此，在萨格勒布的12个墓地中使用带有硬质纤维板条作为产卵基质的诱蚊产卵器对这些物种进行了监测。监测从2017年持续到2020年。每两周检查一次诱捕器并更换基质。这项研究表明，这两种入侵物种在墓地中存在且数量众多。就[物种名称1]而言，检测到更高的种群密度和更多被占据的墓地。在所有12个墓地中都发现了该物种。[物种名称2]在所有研究地点都被确定为优势物种。与上一年相比，[物种名称2]在2018年的传播有所增加。尽管该物种在大约9%的诱蚊产卵器中出现，但在整个研究过程中观察到的种群数量保持一致。研究结果表明，墓地可被视为重要的公共卫生热点地区，因为入侵性蚊子倾向于在这样的环境中发育和繁殖。因此，可能只有通过实施以公民教育为重点的综合蚊虫管理措施，才能减少这两种入侵物种的蚊虫数量。
