Abstract

In June 2019, a single specimen collected at a used tyre company was identified as (Yamada, 1921), a sibling species of . has not been recorded outside Japan and South Korea. Although it has only shown dengue virus vector competence under laboratory conditions, its detection demonstrates the value of active surveillance at risk locations and molecular tools for timely intervention against exotic mosquitoes with potential future public health impact.
