Geographic distribution of Ochlerotatus japonicus in New York State.
Tires and other water-holding containers throughout New York State were sampled during 2000 for the presence of immature or adult Ochlerotatus japonicus to determine the geographic distribution of this species. Waste tire stockpiles were one of the primary sites surveyed. Immature or adult Oc. japonicus were confirmed in 18 counties in New York State, including the northernmost recorded occurrence of this species in the United States.
