Has justification Aedes albopictus is the vector of several Aedes albopictus is the vector of several severe human diseases (dengue, chikungunia). It is an Asian species currently invading the world and responsible for epidemic waves of viral fevers in newly colonized areas. Genetic material is available from all the recently colonized areas as well as from the native regions. The most current worldwide invider mosquito involved in the transmission of serveral arboviroses, including dengue and chikungunya viruses. Aedes albopictus will provide an excellent model for investigating multipartite interactions host-pathogen-symbionts in vectorial pathosystem. thogen-symbionts in vectorial pathosystem.
