Ae. albopictus is originated from Asia, and is known as a natural vector of dengue in South-East Asia. Since about 10 years, Ae. albopictus has spread all around the world. It was introduced into the Americas: United States, Mexico, Brazil, Barbados and the dominican Republic; into some Pacific islands as Solomons, Fidji and Australia; into Africa in Nigeria; and finally into Europe: in Italy and Albany. These introductions were made primarily through imported tyres containing eggs and/or larvae of Ae. albopictus. The tyre international trade plays a significant role in the expansion of Ae. albopictus. Furthermore, this mosquito species has a broad ecological spectrum and found suitable conditions either into tropical and temperate countries. In some situations in the Americas, Ae. albopictus has displaced Ae. aegypti. The spread of Ae. albopictus is of great concern because it can experimentally transmit several arboviruses and filarial worms.
白纹伊蚊原产于亚洲，在东南亚被认为是登革热的自然传播媒介。大约10年来，白纹伊蚊已传播至世界各地。它被引入美洲的美国、墨西哥、巴西、巴巴多斯和多米尼加共和国；一些太平洋岛屿，如所罗门群岛、斐济和澳大利亚；非洲的尼日利亚；最后进入欧洲的意大利和阿尔巴尼亚。这些引入主要是通过含有白纹伊蚊卵和/或幼虫的进口轮胎进行的。轮胎国际贸易在白纹伊蚊的扩散中起着重要作用。此外，这种蚊子具有广泛的生态范围，在热带和温带国家都能找到适宜的生存条件。在美洲的一些情况下，白纹伊蚊已取代埃及伊蚊。白纹伊蚊的传播令人高度担忧，因为它能在实验中传播多种虫媒病毒和丝虫。
