New challenges for the administration and citizens of Cordoba0 aFirst report of the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes Stegomyia albopic c25/7/19 a28-330 v373 aAbstract: The first record of the presence of the invasive Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus in the province of Cordoba is presented. Adults, larvae, pupae and exuviae have been located at different points of housing estates in the northeastern part of the city. One possible origin is the coast around Malaga, much frequented by the citizens of Cordoba. Its detection has been possible due to the programme of monitoring, surveillance and control of hematophagous Dipterans, initiated in 2016 by our research group (Terrestrial Ecology, RNM232) in collaboration with the Sanitation Public Company of Cordoba (SADECO). The arrival of the tiger mosquito in Cordoba is a relevant issue due to its implications for welfare and public health. In addition to the discomfort and injuries caused by its bites, it is a competent vector of non-endemic arboviruses such as Chikungunya fever, Dengue fever and Zika. Therefore, with the information gathered by our group, the SADECO technicians acted appropriately, with the focus being to control it and try to prevent it from spreading and causing public health problems. However, given the large flow of people between Cordoba and the coast around Malaga, a vacation area very popular among the people of Cordoba, it is foreseeable that the inadvertent transport of mosquitoes by car to Cordoba will generate new outbreaks. Therefore, it will be important to continue with the programme of early detection of this invasive species through coordinated work involving researchers from the University of Cordoba, SADECO technicians, and the local and provincial administrations, with the collaboration of neighbourhood associations and the population in general. The information presented in this article is relevant due to its implications for welfare and public health.

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.
