There is general agreement that the former (breeding) macrohabitat of theAsian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus (synonym: Stegomyia albopicta) has beendescribed as phytotelmata in the forested areas of Southeast Asia, however,this has changed in the last four decades as it has adapted to more urban areasand antrotelmata. Capable of producing eggs with a certain dry resistance aswell as cold hardiness, populations of Ae. albopictus became distributed aroundthe globe. The invasion of the Ae. albopictus across all over the world isthought to be the most rapid spread of any insect species in the last fourdecades in tropical, subtropical and temperate climate zones. In addition, Ae.albopictus is a potential vector for at least 27 viruses as well as for severalparasites and plays a major role in the global transmission of dengue virus andchikungunya virus; and its contribution to the rapid spread of zika virus iscurrently under investigation. Therefore, this species is considered a seriousthreat to public health worldwide. This work broaches the issue of threeinvestigations about the potential to adapt and establish stabile populationsof the invasive Asian tiger mosquito Ae. albopictus. As a result of theseinvestigations, a high potential for this species to become a threat to publichealth in many more countries, especially in temperate climatic zones, can beseen. Due to the fact on the one hand that Ae. albopictus can gain fitnessadvantages due to misapplied vector control measures and on the other hand ofthe high epigenetically adaptation potential, it is in summary recommended tofocus further research on the development of vaccinations for viruses and otherpathogens. By doing so, citizens will be protected without putting ecosystemsand their services in danger and it is the even more economic solution.
