Everyone is aware that the climate is changing. The general temperature increase, caused by excess of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, is affecting living creatures, including insects. This modification toward a tropical climate can cause positive effect on mosquitos, fostering proliferation, and expanding their areales. As a result human being has to get used to share its living spaces with these unwelcome guests for longer periods. These insects, in addition to cause annoying skin irritations with their bites, can transmit several diseases. Because of constant and frequent travelling, human being has also to get used to the idea of interaction with new species of mosquitos that are frequently more irritant and dangerous than native mosquitos. This is the case of the Aedes albopictus. This specie comes from the Asian tropical forests hidden in used tyres and has perfectly adapted to our climate. The key factors which have allowed this colonization are its huge adaptability and resistance, as well as its great reproductive capacity. Compared to the native Culex pipiens, the Aedes albopictus can also bite in broad daylight, causing swelling, skin irritations and bouts of feaver. This mosquito can complete its biological cicle in small quantities of water and can ovipose in areas where modification of water level or periodical drought occur. Furthermore the Aedes albopictus and its eggs can survive the winter season, representing a threat for the following year.
