title: [Further data on the spread to Genoa of Aedes albopictus].
abstract: Further data are presented on the presence of Aedes albopictus in the town of Genoa (Italy) where this oriental mosquito was first reported in September 1990. Scattered foci of Ae albopictus were documented during the 1991 summer months in spite of a rather long and rigid '90-'91 winter season with temperatures frequently below 0 degree C. The newly imported mosquito shows the capacity to become a permanent pest in Italy where it could also increase the probability of transmission of pathogens such as arboviruses and filariae.
