Bloodfed Aedes albopictus were collected during 1989-91 by vacuum aspirator from rural and urban study sites in Missouri, Florida, Indiana, Illinois, and Louisiana. Blood hosts identified by ELISA and precipitin tests were rabbit (n = 91), Rattus sp. (n = 69), dog (n = 14), unidentified mammal (n = 14), cow (n = 13), human (n = 10), deer (n = 10), sciurid (n = 7), turtle (n = 5), murid other than Rattus sp. (n = 4), raccoon (n = 3), passeriform bird (n = 3), and cat (n = 2). As an opportunistic bloodfeeder, Ae. albopictus may be a potential vector of domestic arboviruses and a nuisance pest where infestations occur.
1989年至1991年期间，通过真空抽吸器在密苏里州、佛罗里达州、印第安纳州、伊利诺伊州和路易斯安那州的农村和城市研究地点采集了吸食血液的白纹伊蚊。通过酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）和沉淀素试验鉴定的血液宿主有兔子（n = 91）、鼠属（n = 69）、狗（n = 14）、未鉴定的哺乳动物（n = 14）、牛（n = 13）、人类（n = 10）、鹿（n = 10）、松鼠科动物（n = 7）、龟（n = 5）、除鼠属外的其他啮齿动物（n = 4）、浣熊（n = 3）、雀形目鸟类（n = 3）和猫（n = 2）。作为一种机会性吸血者，白纹伊蚊可能是家栖虫媒病毒的潜在传播媒介，并且在其滋生的地方是一种令人讨厌的害虫。
