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 Durres (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.read more

Climate change and mosquito-borne disease.
TL;DR: The histories of three such diseases--malaria, yellow fever, and dengue--reveal that climate has rarely been the principal determinant of their prevalence or range; human activities and their impact on local ecology have generally been much more significant.

Invasions by insect vectors of human disease
TL;DR: Propagule pressure, previous success, and adaptations to human habits appear to favor successful invasions by vectors, such as anthropophilic fleas, lice, kissing bugs, and mosquitoes.

Aedes albopictus in North America: probable introduction in used tires from northern Asia
TL;DR: North American strains of Aedes albopictus, an Asian mosquito recently introduced into the Western Hemisphere, exhibit photoperiodic sensitivity and cold-hardiness characteristics similar to strains originating from temperate zone Asia, suggesting a north Asian origin.
