摘要：

A survey, originally conducted in 1995 to determine the ten most important mosquitoes in New Jersey was repeated in 2002. Aedes albopictus and Ochlerotatus japonicus were introduced to New Jersey after the original survey had been conducted. The introduction of West Nile virus to the northeast in 1999 shifted the focus of Culex control from nuisance status to primary disease vector on a statewide basis. Ochlerotatus japonicus made the top 10 for northern New Jersey as did Ae. albopictus in southern New Jersey. In general, potential bridge vectors for West Nile virus moved up in the rankings in both areas of the state. Surprisingly, the survey revealed little change in the ranking of New Jersey's top 3 mosquitoes over the 8 year period. The latest results place Ae. vexans, Cx. pipiens and, Oc. sollicitans, numbers 1,2 & 3, respectively.
