SERENA ECOSERVIZI

Ae.albopictus is a kind of forest to arboreal development that is suited very well for the urban environments. The eggs svernantis open in spring (in northern Italy to April-May) giving origin to the first larval generation.

The population increases during the summer reaching the maximum density and diffusion in September. The cycle of seasonal development concludes him in autumn (in the northern regions to October-November) with the deposition of eggs in diapausa. The reduction of the number of times of light and the temperature which dolls and adults are exposed in the autumn period stimulates the deposition of eggs in embryonic diapausa. In the laboratory the necessary number of times of light to induce the deposition of eggs diapausanti to 21°C (Fotoperiodo Critic FC) is second variable
