In the decade since used tires were identified as the mode of introduction of Aedes albopictus to the United States, similar infestations have been reported from 10 other countries in the Americas and 2 in Europe. Millions of used tires are still being traded throughout the world and although a few governments have implemented inspection procedures to prevent further introductions, these are unlikely to be effective. Further introductions of mosquitoes of potential public health significance are inevitable.
自废旧轮胎被确认为白纹伊蚊传入美国的途径以来的十年间，美洲其他10个国家和欧洲2个国家也报告了类似的蚊虫滋生情况。全球仍有数以百万计的废旧轮胎在交易，尽管一些政府已实施检查程序以防止进一步传入，但这些措施不太可能有效。具有潜在公共卫生意义的蚊子进一步传入是不可避免的。
