Active dispersal of Aedes albopictus: a mark-release-recapture study using self-marking units

Abstract: BackgroundUnderstanding the dispersal dynamics of invasive mosquito species is fundamental to improve vector surveillance and to target control efforts. Aedes albopictus has been deemed a poor flyer as its range of active dispersal is generally assumed to be limited to a few hundred metres, while laboratory studies suggest this mosquito could actually fly several kilometres. The discrepancy may be due to differences in the local environment or to the methodological approach. In Switzerland, Ae. albopictus has … Show more

“…Dengue tends to be focal in transmission with Aedes spp. commonly having a short flight range, although there are exceptions [48]. Therefore, transmission is primarily mediated between locations by movement of infected individuals [49].…”

“…KDE is a non-parametric method for modelling the probability density function through inferences on data based on a finite sample. While the average flight range of A. albopictus is estimated to be 200 m, in some environments, it has the ability to disperse over a wider area between breeding site and hosts [ 34 , 35 ]. A 1000-m neighborhood distance was considered in our analysis.…”
