The first detection of Aedes albopictus in mainland Spain was reported in 2004. Eight years later, in 2012, this mosquito species was detected in the Balearic archipelago, specifically on Majorca. In 2014 it was detected on Eivissa, another island from this archipelago. In this paper we report for the first time the presence of Ae. albopictus on the island of Minorca.

Aedes (Stegomya) albopictus is an invasive mosquito native to tropical areas in Southeast Asia. It is an important vector of several pathogens of public and veterinary health significance. In 2004 this mosquito was recorded for the first time in Spain (Catalonia) and detected in Majorca (Balearic Islands) in 2012. In this paper, we report for the first time the presence of Ae. albopictus on the island of Ibiza (\‘Eivissa\’, Balearic Islands, Spain). The high volume of goods arriving by maritime transport and the increase of commercial trade and visitors during recent years have been identified as the most probable entry routes for the species on the Island.

The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus is an invasive mosquito species of major concern to public health because of its vector role in transmission of several pathogens of human and animal health importance. This species was first\ detected in Europe (Albania) in 1979. Since then, at least eighteen additional European countries have reported its presence. In\ 2004, this mosquito was detected for the first time in Spain (Catalonia). Here we report, for the first time, the presence and\ establishment of Ae. albopictus on the island of Majorca (Balearic Islands, Spain). However, the introduction pathway of this\ species in Majorca has not yet been identified. The prompt surveillance programme implemented according to the guidelines of\ the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) rapidly permitted a determination of the expansion of Ae.\ albopictus on the island. The information obtained from this study might be useful to plan mosquito control measures avoiding the\ spread of this vector species to the entire island.
