Ecology of invasive mosquitoes: effects on resident species and on human health

摘要: Investigations of biological invasions focus on patterns and processes that are related to introduction, establishment, spread impacts introduced species. This review focuses the ecological interactions operating during by most prominent group insect vectors disease, mosquitoes. First, we characteristics non-native mosquito species have established viable populations, those invasive widely had major impacts, testing whether biotic associated with transition from invasive. Second, roles interspecific competition, apparent predation, intraguild predation climatic limitation as causes residents or barriers invasion. We concentrate best-studied mosquito, Aedes albopictus, evaluating application basic theory albopictus. develop a model based observations albopictus for effects resource competition invasion, which community ecosystem favour Third, evaluate ways in mosquitoes contributed outbreaks human animal considering specifically create novel health threats, modify disease transmission existing pathogen–host systems.
