From August to October 2024, 62 specimens of the non-native mosquito species Anopheles hyrcanus were trapped in the federal state of Brandenburg, northeastern Germany. At one site, 59 specimens, and at a second site, 3 specimens were collected, with both sites located in floodplain areas, approximately 25 km apart. The records represent the northernmost collection sites of this species worldwide. Anopheles hyrcanus is considered a potential vector of malaria parasites, dirofilarial worms, and various viruses, although vector capacity appears to be generally low. The findings in Germany follow the recent detections of the species in Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia, Austria, and Poland, suggesting possible establishment in more northern areas as a consequence of climate change.
2024年8月至10月期间，62只外来蚊种赫坎按蚊的标本在德国东北部勃兰登堡州被捕获。在一个地点采集到59只标本，在另一个地点采集到3只标本，两个地点都位于洪泛区，相距约25公里。这些记录代表了该物种在全球最北的采集地点。赫坎按蚊被认为是疟原虫、恶丝虫和各种病毒的潜在传播媒介，尽管其传播能力总体上似乎较低。德国的这些发现是在该物种最近在匈牙利、斯洛伐克、捷克、奥地利和波兰被检测到之后出现的，这表明由于气候变化，该物种可能在更北部的地区定殖。
