Asian tiger mosquitoes cause dengue fever

Asian tiger mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus) have black and white pods, they are small, prefer to live in shrubs and grasses, mainly in rural areas. After sucking blood from a sick person, female mosquitoes can transmit diseases immediately to healthy people.

Aedes albopictus, an Asian mosquito species (English name: Asian tiger mosquito, or "Asian tiger mosquito", or other common name for the daytime mosquito forest), belongs to the Culicidae family, with black and white features and I'm small, white or black.

This mosquito is native to Southeast Asia, but today it is present on all continents, except Antarctica and latitude area of ​​490 Northern Germany. This is a mosquito species capable of causing dengue epidemic.

Aedes albopictus mosquitoes like to live in shrubs and grasses, mostly in rural areas. After sucking on a sick person, female mosquitoes can spread the disease right away if they suck blood from a healthy person or virus replicating in the salivary glands of the mosquito then 8-10 days of sucking blood from healthy people can spread the disease.

Common Aedes albopictus mosquitoes have a length of about 2 - 10 mm. Female mosquitoes have longer taps, used to suck in more blood because they need to feed eggs. Mosquitoes of Asian tigers parked and burned very quickly, so it is very difficult for them to die.

Aeses albopictus mosquitoes lay eggs near water sources; not directly born into the water like other mosquitoes still do, often born near the place where there is water, stagnant water. However, any type of open water container is a good place to develop mosquito larvae, although only a very small amount of water is contained. This type of mosquito also breeds in areas where there is water flowing, so standing water and prison water are not their only birth places. Aedes albopictus has a short flight range (less than 200 meters), so the breeding ground is most likely close to where we discovered them.

This mosquito can survive in many different environments and living conditions, even in hilly and cold climates. These mosquitoes are more aggressive than any other native mosquito, so they are becoming increasingly dominant in numbers.

The Asian tiger mosquito was first discovered in North America, on a broken tire ship at the Port of Houston in 1985. Since then, they have grown, spilling into parts of South America, and East Strait. This is also a species introduced in Hawaii, but they have been there since 1896.

Aedes albopictus mosquitoes were discovered in Italy in 1990 and Nigeria in 1992. In mid 2007, they were present in New Zealand, Eastern Canada. And 12 countries in Europe include Italy and Spain, two places where the mosquito is already indigenous. In Switzerland, the species was first discovered in 2003, in southern Ticino.

In November 2007, a notebook confirmed that the mosquito had crossed the Alps. Also in November 2007, the first mosquito eggs were discovered in Germany, near Rastatt. Recently, it was confirmed that this mosquito was present in Australia and Israel. This is one of the 100 worst invasive species (conclusion of Global Invasive Species Database).

Hole, groove of dirty water along the road; Long standing standing water is an ideal place for Asian tiger mosquitoes to breed. Therefore, we should clean up and drain all static water sources for a long time, even just ¼ cup of water should be poured when not drinking all. In addition, we should also clean up all the trash in roadside bogs because this is the factor that prevents these pools from drying out. In addition, places that can stagnate rain water for a long time should be cleaned regularly.

For tanks, which catch rainwater, but cannot drain or pump out, we need to periodically treat with other insecticides or bactericidal agents.

This type of mosquito works during the day, so most night sprays do not have much effect on Asian tiger mosquitoes.
