The presence of Ochlerotatus (Rusticoidus) rusticus (Rossi, 1790) in Greece was first reported by Pantazis (1935) and Shannon (1935). No further records of the species are known. However, two females were found outside the city of Tripoli in Peloponnese, confirming the current presence of the species in Greece.

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.

This is the first report on species composition and seasonal human biting activity of mosquitoes in the city of Chisinau, Moldova. In total 3,255 adult mosquitoes were collected in eight recreational areas. Sampling occurred by means of two methods: human landing collection and net-catches from vegetation. Altogether, 22 mosquito species in nine genera were found, representing 55% of the species diversity in Moldova. Seventeen anthropophilic species with different seasonal patterns of biting activity were found in human landing collections. The most frequently captured species was Aedimorphus vexans (N = 1,514; 46.5%) followed by Ochlerotatus annulipes (N = 403; 12.4%), Dahliana geniculata (N = 330; 10.1%), Culex modestus (N = 312; 9.6%), Coquillettidia richiardii (N = 144; 4.4%) and Oc. riparius (N = 117; 3.6%). Eight of the species are the known vectors of West Nile virus in Europe; four of them are the natural vectors of Dirofilaria. Journal of the European Mosquito Control Association 31: 1-7, 2013
