Abstract
We present an updated checklist of mosquito species in New York State, integrating historical records, modern surveillance, and recent literature. A total of 68 species across 10 genera are documented, including invasive taxa (Aedes albopictus, Ae. japonicus) and historically rare species (Orthopodomyia alba, Or. signifera). This synthesis emphasizes species of public and veterinary significance, such as Culex pipiens and Culiseta melanura, vectors of West Nile and eastern equine encephalitis viruses. Analysis of more than 3 million specimens collected since 1999 confirms the absence of Ae. aegypti, historically introduced but unable to persist in New York. Urbanization, container-breeding ecology, climate change, and global commerce continue to shape mosquito distributions and pathogen risk. This checklist bridges historic and current data, providing a reliable reference for surveillance, vector control, and future research.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association (JAMCA) encourages the submission
of previously unpublished manuscripts contributing to the advancement of knowledge of
mosquitoes and other arthropod vectors. The Journal encourages submission of a wide range of
scientific studies that include all aspects of biology, ecology, systematics, and integrated pest
management. Manuscripts exceeding normal length (e. g., monographs) may be accepted for
publication as a supplement to the regular issue.
