Article Synopsis
- Aedes japonicus, a mosquito species native to North-East Asia, was first identified in the Czech Republic in 2021 after spreading widely across North America and Europe since its initial establishment outside its native range in 1998.
- Routine surveys for invasive mosquitoes in the Czech Republic include citizen reports and methods like ovitrapping, which led to the discovery of Aedes japonicus in two specific locations near the German and Austrian borders.
- Genetic analyses determined that the detected populations are closely related to German specimens, indicating ongoing spread in Central Europe and highlighting the need for improved surveillance efforts in the Czech Republic to monitor this invasive species.
The Asian bush mosquito, Aedes japonicus japonicus (Theobald, 1901), a potential vector of several pathogens, has recently established in North America and Central Europe. In 2013, it was found on the Slovenian-Croatian border, and during the following years, it emerged in more and more counties of northwestern Croatia. Surveillance of Ae.

Within Germany, the species has been spreading tremendously during the last years, and its four once geographically isolated populations were on the verge of merging in 2017. To reveal relationships and carry-over ways between the various populations, and thus, migration and displacement routes, the genetic make-up of Ae.

Methods: From September 2012 to November 2012 and in November 2013, 911 blood-fed Cx. quinquefasciatus mosquitoes were collected with aspirators inside houses in Chetumal and Cancun.
