  2. Name of Species • Asian Tiger Mosquito • Scientific Name: Aedes Albopictus

  3. Where is it from? Where can it be found today? Where, when, and why it was introduced? • It is from Asia • It can be found today at Southeast U.S. • It was introduced on accident from Japan in tires • Introduced to Hawaii in the late 1800’s TO

  4. What affect do they have on the environment? • They carry a disease called West Nile Virus that causes you to have: abdominal pain, back pain, diarrhea, fever, headache, lack of appetite, muscle aches, nausea, sore throat, and vomiting • These symptoms usually last for 3-6 days

  5. Reasons for Success • The tiger mosquito is successful because it can adapt to most climates and it doesn't matter if it is hot and humid outside either • It is also successful because it reproduces rapidly • In new environments, predators are less likely to appear

  6. Issues for the Future • The asian tiger mosquito have been named with the title of the insect that gives the most mosquito bites • People have attempted to prevent the mosquito by wearing long clothes and spray repellent but in my research it says that the spray is only effective for a short amount of time and that the mosquito’s will come back as soon as the spray dissipates, or disappears
