Abstract
ABSTRACT
Consolidating and updating distributional data for mosquito species within a state is a good practice. These updates have an immediate impact by providing documented species distribution information for public use and by serving as a resource to researchers who need background information about a species's state distribution. In Georgia, Aedes japonicus, an introduced species, was peer review reported from 7 counties (2002–06): Fulton, Habersham, Lumpkin, Rabun, Towns, Union, and White. No further records were found in peer-reviewed journals or in the Symbiota Collections of Arthropods Network. This study consolidated the 7 peer-reviewed county records for Ae. japonicus with 73 new county records from surveillance data collected by the Georgia Department of Public Health. This study documented the presence of Ae. japonicus in 80 of the 159 counties in Georgia.
