“…The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, while native to Asia, is expanding its range through human activities and now occupies much of southeast Asia, most Pacific and Indian Ocean islands, parts of Australasia, Africa and Europe and both North and South America (Hawley, 1988;Gubler, 2003;Medlock et al, 2006). Ae.…”

“…albopictus (Fischer et al 2014). The location of the tyre company in a peri-urban area should also favour its proliferation (Medlock et al 2006). Although this IMS was reproducing at the site during summer 2013, it either failed to overwinter at the tyre company or was not detected in 2014.…”

“…It is possible that diapausing eggs were laid in early September 2013 and hatching occurred in March 2014, when it was still too cold to support development (mean temperature threshold for activity in spring: 10.5-11°C (Medlock et al 2006)). Alternatively, hatching may have occurred much later increasing egg mortality by desiccation.…”

“…Alternatively, hatching may have occurred much later increasing egg mortality by desiccation. When oviposition of diapausing eggs occurs in early autumn, and initial hatching in late spring, the length of diapause might lead to egg desiccation resulting from low temperatures and relative humidity (Medlock et al 2006). Mean relative humidity and rainfall at the tyre company were 68% and 24.5mm in March 2014(normal values: 79% and 70mm, RMI 2015) and 68% and 11.1mm in April 2014(normal values: 73% and 51.3mm, RMI 2015, which might have led to desiccation of the diapausing eggs.…”

In 2013 and 2014 routine surveillance for invasive mosquito species was implemented in Belgium at 13 potential points of entry. Following the introduction of Aedes (Stegomia) albopictus (Skuse, 1895) immediate control measures were successfully implemented at the nursery. Because of increasing threats and the absence of an invasive mosquito species control policy in Belgium, the need for a permanent vector surveillance and control plan has never been so high.

Abstract. Relationship between environmental factors and larval density in Ochlerotatus caspius Pallas 1771 and Ochlerotatus detritus Haliday 1833 (Diptera: Culicidae) of Tunisia. Ochlerotatus caspius and Oc. detritus, two major mosquito species considered as pests in Tunisia, are subjected to intensive insecticide treatments. Considering the large areas colonized by immature stages and high adult densities generated at each egg hatching period, the effi ciency of insecticide control is limited. In order to defi ne more suitable control strategies, we aim in this study to characterize the ecological niche of each mosquito species using multivariate analyses (CA, HAC). Our results show that larval densities of both mosquito species are mainly related to plant composition and salinity of breeding sites. Indeed, Oc. detritus is more adapted to salty biotopes mainly colonized by Sarcocornia fruticosa when Oc. caspius is mostly associated to biotopes with more diversifi ed vegetation bearing a low salinity and predominantly occupied by Juncus maritimus. Résumé. Ochlerotatus caspius etOc. detritus, deux espèces de moustiques fréquemment rencontrées en Tunisie, font l'objet de traitements insecticides en vue de limiter leur nuisance. Cependant, la portée de ces traitements demeure limitée compte tenu des grandes étendues de leurs biotopes larvaires et du caractère synchrone de leurs éclosions. Le but de cette étude vise à caractériser, à travers des analyses multivariées (AFC, CHA), la niche écologique de chaque espèce afi n de défi nir des plans d'intervention plus adaptés. Nos résultats montrent que les abondances larvaires d'Oc. caspius et Oc. detritus sont principalement corrélées au couvert végétal et à la salinité des gîtes larvaires. En effet, Oc. detritus se développe abondamment dans les milieux fortement salés dominés par Sarcocornia fruticosa, alors qu'Oc. caspius est associé à une végétation plus diversifi ée supportant une salinité moindre dominée par Juncus maritimus, et développant une litière végétale plus abondante.
