一般影响
白线斑蚊(Aedes albopictus)具侵略性,白天时会在户外叮咬攻击人类、家畜、两栖动物、爬虫动物与鸟。(Eritja et al.2005) 一项叮咬率的调查,记录到每小时30至48次叮咬。(Cancrini et al.2003)蚊子是许多人类疾病的病媒,从疟疾到丝虫病 (由 Dirofilaria immitis) 。(Eritja et al.2005) 白线斑蚊(Aedes albopictus)可能是一个特别值得担心的中介病媒体,帮忙传播 西尼罗河病毒 因为它栖息在乡村,而且有一个宽的宿主范围,包括鸟类,所以它能轻易地把传染病传给人类。在实验室情况下,共有四种 Flaviviruses, 十种 Bunyaviruses 与七种 Alphaviruses 能被A. albopictus接纳。这些包括黄热病,裂谷热、 chikungunya 与 sindbis 。(都出现在地中海) 其中,已知在野外情况下, , A. albopictus会接纳三种Flaviviruses(登革热、西尼罗河与日本脑炎),六种 Bunyaviruses与一种 Alphavirus(EEE)。其它对人类致病地中海循环病毒包括以色列土耳其病毒、 Tahyna 与 Batai。
地点特有的影响:Roraima (Brazil) 传播疾病: Although Ae. albopictus is not presently considered of primary importance in dengue transmission, its occurrence could favor a linkage between urban and forest cycles of yellow fever and other arboviruses in Brazil. Libreville (Gabon) 传播疾病: Ae. albopictus was responsible for a Chikungunya outbreak in Gabon in 2007 (Vazeille et al. 2008). Sequence analysis of the virus genome revealed that these recent outbreaks were caused by a new variant characterized by a mutation in the E1 envelop glycoprotein gene (A226V) (Schuffenecker et al. in Vazeille et al 2006). This mutation has favoured better transmissibility of the virus by Ae. albopictus (Vazeille et al. 2007). Italy 传播疾病: Invasive Ae. albopictus have been recovered infected with chikungunya virus in Italy (Enserink 2007 in Armistead et al. 2008). Rome (Italy) 传播疾病: Vector of the Chikungunya virus. Toamasina (Madagascar) 传播疾病: In January 2006, an outbreak of denguelike syndrome (DLS) was reported in Toamasina, on Madagascar’s east coast. Ae. albopictus was found to be responsible for vectoring the disease. Reunion (La Réunion) 传播疾病: Known vector for Dengue on Reunion Island. A major epidemic of chikungunya fever on the island of Reunion in 2005-2006 (population 770 000) has resulted in 265 000 clinical cases (34% of the population) and 237 deaths (Reiter et al, 2006). Spain 竞争: In Spain, interspecific competition between the tiger mosquito and native tree-hole mosquitoes might affect Aedes (Finlaya) geniculatus (Olivier 1791), Ochlerotatus (Ochlerotatus) berlandi (Se´guy 1921), Anopheles (Anopheles) plumbeus (Stephens 1828) and the less frequent Orthopodomyia (Orthopodomyia) pulcripalpis (Rondani 1872), among others. Switzerland 竞争: Many native Aedes species occur in Switzerland. United States (USA) 传播疾病: Invasive Ae. albopictus have also been recovered infected with eastern equine encephalitis (Mitchell et al. 1992 in Armistead et al. 2008) and LaCrosse encephalitis viruses (Gerhardt et al. 2001 in Armistead et al. 2008) in the United States Hawaii (United States (USA)) 传播疾病: Ae. albopictus was responsible for a dengue outbreak in Hawaii in 2001-2002. The epidemic was unique in that virus was transmitted by Ae. albopictus mosquitoes. This ineffi cient vector produces a slow-movingoutbreak by contrast to the sharp epidemics associated with Ae. aegypti
