The mosquito species Aedes albopictus, a known vector of chikungunya and dengue viruses, is establishing itself further northwards and westwards in Europe, according to the latest data.
This literature review, covering the period from 2000 to January 2022, assessed the state of knowledge on biocide resistance in wild vector populations across the EU/EEA and neighbouring countries.
This key provides the non-specialist with reference material to help recognise an invasive mosquito species and gives details on the morphology to help with verification.
