DLOUHODOBÝ MONITORING INVAZNÍCH DRUHŮ KOMÁRŮ NA JIŽNÍ MORAVĚ Z POHLEDU RIZIKA PŘENOSU EXOTICKÝCH VIROVÝCH NÁKAZ.

Objectives: Invasive mosquito species represent a major threat to human health since they are vectors of many dangerous pathogens such as dengue, chikungunya and zika viruses, necessitating performance of routine vector surveillance. Methodology: Between 2016 and 2020 we performed mosquito monitoring targetted at invasive mosquito species in South Moravia (Břeclavsko and Znojemsko regions) using ovitraps (collection of eggs) and BG-Sentinel traps (collection of adults). Results: The invasive mosquito species Aedes albopistus was found on all study sites. Conclusion: Results indicate possible risk of future establishment of this species due to global climatic changes [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
