	Asian tiger mosquito - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was native to Southeast Asia, and occupied a habitat that spread from Madagascar eastward to New Guinea, and north to the latitude of Korea.
		As with other members of the mosquito family, the female is equipped with an elongated proboscis that she uses to collect blood to feed her eggs.
		Asian Tiger Mosquitoes were first found in North America in a shipment of used tires at the port of Houston in 1985.

	The Asian Tiger Mosquito in Maryland
		The itch and swelling of mosquito bites is caused by an anticoagulating substance from the mosquito's salivary glands injected into the bite wound to maintain a free flow of blood while she feeds.
		Tiger mosquitoes are known to transmit the causative agent of dog heartworm disease.
		The elimination of the breeding containers for tiger mosquitoes is largely the responsibility of the individual to conduct thorough and repeated efforts to remove or drain all such containers on his/her property.

	EcoAccess - Publications - Asian Tiger Mosquitoes
		Asian Tiger mosquitoes tend to prefer to feed on mammals, such as man or domestic animals but will feed on birds if no other host is available (35).
		The Asian Tiger mosquito is known as a "container breeder" due to its practice of depositing its eggs in small pockets of contained water rather than swamps, marshes, or water-holding ditches, which are used by many mosquito species.
		The Asian Tiger Mosquito as a disease vector.

	Mosquito Magnet® - Attractant 101 - Basic information about Octenol and other attractants
		All mosquitoes use CO2 to locate people, however once in close range, a secondary or short-range attractant or scent that is emitted from the skin, attracts certain species of mosquitoes to some people much more than others.
		Asian Tiger mosquito is not as attracted to octenol as other species of mosquito.
		It is recommended that if you have the Asian Tiger mosquito to remove the attractant and clean out the attractant carrier with rubbing alcohol and run the trap with no attractant and wait 2 weeks to see if you start catching other breeds of mosquitoes.

	Asian Tiger Mosquito Prevention and Control
		Asian tiger mosquitoes spend the winter in the egg stage, hatching into larvae when the eggs are covered with water in the spring and summer.
		The bite of the Asian tiger mosquito is not particularly irritating to most people, but they are persistent biters.
		Because the Asian tiger mosquito is active during the day, "fogging" (space spraying from specially equipped trucks) provides little control, as this method is generally ineffective due to atmospheric conditions during daylight hours.

	Two Invasive Insect Species from Asia: The Asian Tiger Mosquito and The Asian Longhorn Beetle
		The Asian Tiger Mosquito and The Asian Longhorn Beetle
		Mosquitoes apparently can not transmit AIDS, as the HIV virus is digested in their bodies; however other viruses and protozoa replicate within mosquitoes.
		The Asian Longhorned Beetle could be eradicated where it is currently established in the Chicago and New York City areas, though fighting the populations on a tree-by-tree basis is a complicated process.

		To date, ATM is known to occur in 25 states extending from Texas and Florida in the south to New Jersey and Nebraska in the north.
		The spread of the ATM seems to have occurred at the expense of resident YFM.
		For the ATM to remain active in south and central florida during a significant portion of the year where day lengths for much of the year are less than 13.5 hours, the mosquito had to lower the day length threshold or eliminate the response to day length.

	HPA \| Asian Tiger Mosquito \| Mosquito Watch
		The Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) is historically a mosquito of the forests of Southeast Asia, breeding in water collecting in tree-holes.
		If this mosquito were to become established in the UK it seems unlikely that transmission of many of these viruses would occur, as for instance, the current climate is considered to be too cold for dengue transmission.
		However, the ability for this mosquito to become involved in the transmission of viruses and Dirofilaria nematodes in more temperate zones in North America suggest that a precautionary approach is required; as is the need for continued monitoring of the spread of this mosquito and its role as a vector of disease.

	Lentek mosquito trap review
		The Lentek Mosquito Trap utilizes the documented attractiveness of CO2, moisture, body temperature (thermal imaging), color, and airflow in an effective design to attract, capture and kill mosquitoes and other blood-seeking flying insects.
		The Lentek Mosquito Trap uses this traditional trapping approach, combined with the latest in research, to turn the female mosquitoes natural hunting techniques toward seeking out the trap and facilitating capture in a product that private homeowners can use.
		The capture cup did not seem to be catching that many mosquitos, but I think that might be due to them drying up and getting blown through the grate at the bottom of the cup.
