摘要

Aedes albopictus is among the 100 most invasive species worldwide and has colonized all continents except Antarctica within the last 30–40 years. As an important vector, it can transmit multiple arboviruses including dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), and chikungunya virus (CHIKV). Research aimed at understanding the fundamental autecology of this species is essential for advancing the risk of mosquito-borne disease (MBD) and for formulating practical control strategies. This primer provides contextual background information on several key ecological behaviours of Ae. albopictus, such as host-seeking and habitat-seeking, from an autecological perspective. This study provides the recent multidisciplinary insights into the ecological behaviours of Ae. albopictus and elucidates the connections between its autecology and effective surveillance, disease transmission estimation and efficient disease control.
