白纹伊蚊俗称亚洲虎蚊，是目前世界上最具入侵性的蚊子。它具有医学重要性，因为它的攻击性白天人类叮咬行为和传播许多病毒的能力，包括登革热，长曲棍球和西尼罗河病毒。入侵其潜在范围的新领域往往是通过旧轮胎的国际贸易运输鸡蛋开始的。我们使用遗传算法，遗传算法规则集生产（GARP），以确定生态位的Ae。并预测该物种继续蔓延的全球生态风险图。我们将联合收割机的分析与从受侵扰国家进口轮胎的风险以及这些国家与已被侵扰国家的邻近性相结合，以制定未来引进和建立风险最高的国家名单。这里使用的方法有可能预测未来的载体或病原体入侵的风险。
Aedes albopictus, commonly known as the Asian tiger mosquito, is currently the most invasive mosquito in the world. It is of medical importance due to its aggressive daytime human-biting behavior and ability to vector many viruses, including dengue, LaCrosse, and West Nile. Invasions into new areas of its potential range are often initiated through the transportation of eggs via the international trade in used tires. We use a genetic algorithm, Genetic Algorithm for Rule Set Production (GARP), to determine the ecological niche of Ae. albopictus and predict a global ecological risk map for the continued spread of the species. We combine this analysis with risk due to importation of tires from infested countries and their proximity to countries that have already been invaded to develop a list of countries most at risk for future introductions and establishments. Methods used here have potential for predicting risks of future invasions of vectors or pathogens.
