Sažetak
The monitoring of invasive mosquito species, which has been carried out since 2016 in Brod-Posavina County, Croatia represents a systematic surveillance of the invasive Aedes mosquito abundance and distribution. The purpose of monitoring is the early detection of alien mosquito species at entry points as well as rapid response actions and control measures. All obtained data were collected in a single national database and used to predict the risk of vector diseases. The research was conducted by oviposition traps at several different habitat categories that represent potential mosquito breeding sites. During the five-year study, special attention was paid to border crossing and tyre shop yards. The continuous appearance of eggs of the genus Aedes at these locations, as well as the fact that 40% of total number of eggs belong to these stations, confirm their importance as hot spots for the introduction and spread of invasive mosquito species. These results support the need for improved control of entry points in a wide range of activities, such as: obligatory control of imported goods and the validity of their storage, appropriate disinsection methods in accordance with the biology and ecology of invasive Aedes mosquito species and systematic public information and education.
