Sažetak
Since the first record of Aedes albopictus in Croatia in 2004, we have recorded its rapid spreading along the Adriatic coast. Within 5 years this black and white mosquito occupied almost all the Adriatic coast including many islands. With appearance of the tiger mosquito, after almost 60-year period, mosquitoes are again playing a role of infectious diseases vectors in Croatia as it is confirmed as vector of dengue virus in Croatia, 2010. Given that Croatia has a long history of monitoring and mosquito control, with the well-regulated underlying legislation, the need of establishing national monitoring of invasive species was necessary. Monitoring was conducted by the Croatian Institute of Public Health (through network of public health institutes of counties) and the Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Department of Biology. For monitoring standard ovitrap method was used. Ovitraps were placed at the points of entry of this invasive species, mostly in continental Croatia where lack of data exists. Ovitrap data were collected weekly from May to October 2016. Aedes albopictus was noted in 19 out of 21 counties in Croatia, while in comparison, the first occurrences of this species were noted only in 7 counties (Međimurska, Varaždinska, Koprivničko-Križevačka, Virovitčko-Podravska, Vukovarsko-Srijemska, Brodsko-Posavska and Karlovačka county). Only in Sisačko-Moslavačka county this mosquito was not noted.
