ABOUT THE DATA

A global view of non-native mosquito introductions

Non-native mosquitoes that transmit human pathogens are increasingly being recorded beyond their native ranges, with long-distance spread strongly linked to human transport and trade. The underlying research assembled standardized regional information on mosquito invasion histories across countries and major administrative divisions worldwide.

This interactive view uses the supplied introduction/establishment event table and regional boundary layer. It shows where non-native disease-vector mosquito taxa have been recorded and exposes the start year, establishment status and source references associated with each event.
