Description
Summary:Mosquitoes Aedes koreicus are recorded in Crimea for the first time. Taking into account the favorable climatic conditions of Crimea, the biological features of A. koreicus , and also distribution of this species in the southern part of European Russia, formation and spread of a reproducing population of A. koreicus in Crimea appear quite probable. Mosquitoes of this species are vectors of diseases. It is necessary to study the population density, ecological features, and spatial distribution of this species in Crimea in order to optimize epidemiological surveillance and to determine the necessary sanitary and anti-epidemic (preventive) measures.
