Abstract
We report the arthropod-borne pediatric encephalitic agent La Crosse virus in Aedes albopictus mosquitoes collected in Dallas County, Texas, USA, in August 2009. The presence of this virus in an invasive vector species within a region that lies outside the virus's historically re

Abstract
A series of statewide surveys were conducted in Oklahoma in the summers between 1991 and 2004 to identify the distribution of Aedes albopictus. Adult mosquitoes were identified in 63 counties, bringing the currently known distribution of Ae. albopictus in the state to 69 of 77 counties.

On August 2, 1985, numerous adults and larvae of an unknown species of Aedes were collected from several widely separated tire dumps, in and around the city of Houston, Texas.
A survey of Harris County was begun on August 22 to determine the frequency, abundance and distribution of Ae. albopictus in water-filled containers, especially tires.

Abstract
Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus are the main vectors transmitting dengue and chikungunya viruses. Despite being pathogens of global public health importance, knowledge of their vectors’ global distribution remains patchy and sparse. A global geographic database of known occurrences of Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus between 1960 and 2014 was compiled. Herein we present the database, which comprises occurrence data linked to point or polygon locations, derived from peer-reviewed literature and unpublished studies including national entomological surveys and expert networks. We describe all data collection processes, as well as geo-positioning methods, database management and quality-control procedures. This is the first comprehensive global database of Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus occurrence, consisting of 19,930 and 22,137 geo-positioned occurrence records respectively. Both datasets can be used for a variety of mapping and spatial analyses of the vectors and, by inference, the diseases they transmit.

The identity of Aedes bimaculatus (Coquillett) and a new subspecies of Aedes fulvus (Wiedemann) from the US (Culicidae), By Ross, E.S.

Ross, E.S. 1943. The identity of Aedes bimaculatus (Coquillett) and a new subspecies of Aedes fulvus (Wiedemann) from the United States (Diptera, Culicidae). Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington 45(6): 143-151.
This paper presents evidence to show that two distinct species of Aedes occurring in the United States are both at present identified as Coquillett’s bimaculatus. The true bimaculatus, described from Brownsville, Texas, and ranging from central Texas to El Salvador, is very distinct from the “ bimaculatus” collected throughout the southeastern United States which is here described as a new subspecies of the Neotropical fulvus (Wiedemann).

Competition and resistance to starvation in larvae of container-inhabiting Aedes mosquitoes. By Barrera, R.
Ecological Entomology. 21(2): 117-127., 1996

Barrera, R. 1996. Competition and resistance to starvation in larvae of container-inhabiting Aedes mosquitoes. Ecological Entomology. 21(2): 117-127.
Keywords:
Competition; species coexistence; starvation resistance; respiration; mosquito larvae; Aedes aegypti; Aedes albopictus; Aedes triseriatus.
Abstract.
1. Hypotheses about declining populations of container-inhabiting Aedes mosquitoes following the invasion by additional species were tested.
2. The larval competition hypothesis was studied experimentally in pure and mixed cultures of Aedes aegypti (L.), A.albopictus (Skuse) and A.triseriatus (Say). The experiments used decomposing leaf litter in the laboratory, as opposed to most previous research which used non-natural food.

Abstract
Waste tires and other types of artificial containers were sampled for immature Aedes to monitor changes in the occurrence of Aedes aegypti (L.) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse) in Florida. The initial invasion and spread of Ae. albopictus in Florida occurred in the northern part of Florida. Throughout this region, major declines in the abundance of [i]Ae.
