Abstract:

Objective　To predict the potential distribution of the Western Treehole Mosquitoes, Aedes sierrensis (Ludlow, 1905) in China. Methods　Genetic algorithm for rule-set production (GARP) was used for prediction of the potential distribution based  on  current  stable  distribution  of  Ae. sierrensis  derived  from  previous  literatures. Results　The potential  distribution  of Ae. sierrensis covered most provinces in China, with the high-risk area located in the north and central part of China, including Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Henan, Shandong, Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang; the moderate?risk areas including Anhui, south of Hebei, southeast of Shandong, north of Hubei and northwest of Zhejiang; and the low-risk areas including Guizhou, Guangxi, Hunan, Chongqing, Hubei, Jiangxi, Fujian, Hainan and Taiwan. Conclusion　Extensive potential distribution of Ae. sierrensis was identified in China with high risk levels, and thus risk management should be developed and deployed to prevent potential invasion of such mosquitoes.
