Colonies of Aedes albopictus were discovered at the end of the summer of 1991 in the Veneto region of Italy. To locate the source of the infestation, a detailed investigation was carried out among companies dealing in the production of recapped tires. Because most of the tires had been imported from the USA, it was surmised that this could have been one source of the infestation. This hypothesis was confirmed in the summer of 1992 following an inspection of a load of used tires from Atlanta, Georgia, in which Ae. albopictus eggs were found. Despite control measures in 1991, many colonies of Ae. albopictus are now well established in large areas of the region. Adults are active between the months of April and October. They are very susceptible to the most common insecticides.
1991年夏末，在意大利威尼托地区发现了白纹伊蚊的种群。为了找出虫害的源头，对从事翻新轮胎生产的公司展开了详细调查。由于大多数轮胎是从美国进口的，因此推测这可能是虫害的一个源头。1992年夏天，在检查一批来自佐治亚州亚特兰大的废旧轮胎时发现了白纹伊蚊的卵，这一假设得到了证实。尽管在1991年采取了控制措施，但该地区大片区域现在仍有许多白纹伊蚊种群。成虫在4月至10月间活动。它们对最常见的杀虫剂非常敏感。
