The Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus Skuse is so called because of its black and white patches which adorn its legs and body. It is well known throughout the World, apart from the biting nuisance, especially because of its vectorial role in Chikungunya and dengue outbreaks, and its ability to invade new territories. In this chapter the focus is on its recent distribution and spread in Europe. Furthermore, introduction routes are discussed, as well as recommendations regarding options for control.
