In August-October 1979, infestations of the mosquito Aedes albopictus were discovered at a number of widely separated sites in Albania. Used tires were the principal larval habitat. The species was probably introduced from China in the mid-1970s. The initial infestation was probably at a rubber factory adjacent to the port of Durrës (Durazzo), from where the mosquito was shipped in tires to recapping plants in other parts of the country. This is the first recorded infestation of Ae. albopictus outside Oriental and Australasian regions.
1979年8月至10月期间，在阿尔巴尼亚许多相隔甚远的地点发现了白纹伊蚊的滋生地。废旧轮胎是主要的幼虫栖息地。该物种可能于20世纪70年代中期从中国传入。最初的滋生地可能在都拉斯港（杜拉佐）附近的一家橡胶厂，蚊子就是从这里随轮胎运往该国其他地区的翻新厂。这是有记录以来白纹伊蚊在东洋区和澳大拉西亚区以外的首次滋生。
