title: First record of Aedes albopictus in Croatia.
abstract: The first record of Aedes albopictus in Croatia was made in Zagreb, Croatia, on October 28, 2004. A total of 13 larvae were collected in a discarded ceramic toilet bowl in a forested area in the southwest suburbs. Because the winter temperatures in Zagreb are not favorable for survival, this finding of Ae. albopictus may be temporary. Its survival in northern Croatia remains to be studied.
