Since 2010, the Centre for Monitoring of Vectors (CMV) Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA), has a surveillance programme in place to detect control invasive mosquito species (IMS) at locations with increased risk importation. At premises companies that import used tyres from areas, CMV implements using adult traps. In case an IMS finding tyre company location, monitoring is intensified here (weekly sampling, additional BG-Sentinel traps larval sampling), as well...
The Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus is an undesirable invasive species that causes considerable nuisance through its biting behaviour, and has been proven to transmit more than 22 different viruses under laboratory conditions. Human-aided transportation, the capacity of winter diapause, possibly global warming have contributed invasion Ae. . was found for first time in Netherlands 2005, since 2010 introduced at many locations throughout country.
