Aedes albopictus or (Asian) tiger mosquito is capable of transmitting a bite of 22 viruses including dengue, yellow fever and West Nile virus
Its most notable feature is its morphological black body with white stripes (head, abdomen and legs. The strength of their eggs (survive drying and cooling) allows human use globalization to reach further. Among other places, their eggs can travel on used tires or in bamboo flower pots.
Sociological and anthropological studies conducted in Italy, reveal that in some areas reached to change people's habits. People have removed some outdoor activities because of the bite. And urban areas are ideal for installation.
These studies also indicate that residential areas are ideals ecosystems for tiger mosquito, because these are plenty of gardens so the insect uses any container with water to reproduce.
Well, I think that the tiger mosquito spread is a serious business because it's an invasive species and it can provoke some devastating illnesses into humans. There are many ways to prevent the bites, but for me, the most effective ones are to wear more clothes although in summer it's kinda difficult and the other that can make mosquitos harder to get in your house and it's to install nets in the windows.
