北美白纹伊蚊是最近引入西半球的一种亚洲蚊子，其光周期敏感性和耐寒特性与起源于亚洲温带的品系相似。二手轮胎进口的贸易统计数据也表明，来自北亚的进口轮胎是最有可能的进口方式。白纹伊蚊是登革热的重要媒介，也是许多其他虫媒病毒疾病的潜在媒介，因此可能有能力侵袭北美大部分温带地区。
North American strains of Aedes albopictus, an Asian mosquito recently introduced into the Western Hemisphere, exhibit photperiodic sensitivity and cold-hardiness characteristics similar to strains originating from temperate zone Asia. trade statistics for used tire imports, the most likely mode of introduction, also indicate a north Asian origin. Aedes albopictus, an important vector of dengue and a potential vector of many other arboviral diseases, may therefore have the capability of infesting much of temperate North America.
