Resumo: Mosquito control administrators should consider a newly introduced species in view of local conditions. Aedes albopictus was discovered in Harris County while surveying for Aedes aegypti. Recognizing a potential threat to public health, local and state officials were notified of the discovery. Questions posed by the introduction of a foreign species requires a cooperative application of research resources. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) should serve as the coordinator of this effort.
