The War of the Spanish Succession (1700-1714) began with the death of Charles II, the last Hapsburg king of Spain, in 1700. He named as his heir the Duke of Anjou (Philip V) the grandson of Louis XIV of France. England, fearing a larger France, objected, as did Austria, which sought to gain possession of Spanish claims in Italy. Part of the war is called Queen Anne's war, because William III died as the war was getting under way.
The war involved Austria, Prussia, and Great Britain fighting against Spain and France. But the Spanish regions of Aragon also opposed Philip in favor of the Archduke Charles, who would have gained the throne under an English and French agreement to partition Spain. England and Austria attacked France and Spain, and although they prevailed militarily, political changes in England finally brought an end to the conflict. When Archduke Charles acquired a different throne as Holy Roman Emperor Charles VII, England also felt it unwise to help gain territory for Austria.
The hostilities ceased in 1713 with the Treaty of Utrecht. Phillip V, grandson of the King of France, was allowed to remain the King of Spain. However, he had to renounce his claim to the French throne. This prevented any possibility of France and Spain uniting under one monarch. France's power was diminished in Europe. Significantly, the concept of the balance in power in Europe was cemented. Other effects included the loss of a few territories by Spain and France to England and Austria. The notable cession of French Acadia to England presaged the eventual takeover of Canada a half century later, in the French and Indian War.

The Asian tiger mosquito or forest day mosquito(Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus), from the MosquitoFamily_(biology) Culicidae, is characterized by its Blackand WhiteStripeLeg, and small black and white Body. It is native to the tropical and subtropical areas of Southeast_Asia; however, in the past couple of decades this species has invaded many countries throughout the world through the transport of goods and increasing international travelAnswers.com. This mosquito has become a significant pest in many communities because it closely associates with humans (rather than living in wetlands), and typically flies and feeds in the daytime in additio
In 1895, a British-Australian entomologist, Frederick_A._Askew_Skuse, was the first to describe scientifically the Asian tiger mosquito, which he named Culexalbopictus (Lat. Culex "gnat, midge" and albopictus "white embroided")Answers.comAnswers.com. Later, the species was assigned to the genus Aedes(Ancient_Greekάηδής, "unpleasant" Answers.com)and referred to as Aedes albopictusAnswers.com. Like the Yellow_fever_mosquito, it belongs to the subgenus Stegomyia(gr. στέγος, "covered, roofed", referring to the scales that completely cover the dorsal surface in this Subgenus, and μυία, "fly").Answers.comIn 2004, scientists explored higher-level relationships and proposed a new classification within the Aedes genus and Stegomyia was elevated to the Genus level, making Aedes albopictus now Stegomyia albopicta. This is, however, a controversial matter, and the use of Stegomyia albopictaversus Aedes albopictus is continually debatedAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.com.
CharacteristicsThe Asian tiger mosquito is about 2 to 10 mm length with a striking white and black patternAnswers.comAnswers.comAnswers.com. The variation of the body size in adult mosquitoes depends on the density of the larval population and food supply within the breeding water. Since these circumstances are only seldom optimal, the average body size of adult mosquitoes is considerably smaller than 10 mm. For example, the average length of the Abdomenwas calculated to be 2.63 mm, the wings 2.7 mm, and the proboscis 1.88 mm through a study of 10 images from 1962 of both male and female mosquitoesAnswers.com.
The males are roughly 20% smaller than the females, but they are Morphology_(biology) very similar. However, as in all mosquito species, the Antenna_(biology) of the males in comparison to the females are noticeably bushier and contain auditory receptors to detect the characteristic whine of the female. The maxillary palps of the males are also longer than their proboscises whereas the females' maxillary palps are much shorter. (This is typical for the males of the Culicinae.) In addition, the tarsus of the hind legs of the males is more silvery. Tarsomere IV is roughly three-quarters silver in the males whereas the females' is only about 60% silver.
The other characteristics do not differentiate between sexes. A single silvery-white line of tight scales begins between the eyes and continues down the dorsal side of the thorax. This characteristic marking is the easiest and surest way to identify the Asian tiger mosquito.
The Proboscisis dark colored, the upper surface of the end segment of the palps is covered in silvery scales, and the Labiumdoes not feature a light line on its underside. The Compound_eyesare distinctly separated from one another. The Scutum, the dorsal portion of an insect's thoracic segment, is black alongside the characteristic white midline. On the side of the thorax, the Scutellum, and the abdomen there are numerous spots covered in white-silvery scales.
Such white-silvery scales can also be found on the tarsus, particularly on the hind legs that are commonly suspended in the air. The base of tarsomere I through IV has a ring of white scales, creating the appearance of white and black rings. On the fore legs and middle legs, only the first three tarsomeres have the ring of white scales whereas tarsomere V on the hind legs is completely white. The femur of each leg is also black with white scales on the end of the "knee". The femurs of the middle legs do not feature a silver line on the base of the upper side, whereas, the femurs on the hind legs have short white lines on base of the upper side. The Tibiaare black on the base and have no white scales.
The Tergaon segments II through VI of the abdomen are dark and have an almost triangular silvery-white marking on the base that is not aligned with the silvery bands of scales on the ventral side of the abdomen. The triangular marking and the silvery band are only aligned on abdominal segment VII. The transparent wings have white spots on the base of the Costas. With older mosquito specimens, the scales could be partially worn off making the previously mentioned characteristics not stand out as muchAnswers.comAnswers.com.
The typical Aedes albopictus individual has a length of about 2 to 10mmAnswers.com. As with other members of the mosquito family, the female is equipped with an elongated Proboscisthat she uses to collect Bloodto feed her eggs. The Asian tiger mosquito has a rapid bite that allows it to escape most attempts by people to swat it. By contrast the male member of the species primarily feeds on Nectar.
The female lays her eggs near water; not directly into it as other mosquitoes do, but typically near a Stagnant_(water) pool. However, any open container containing water will suffice for larvae development, even with less than an ounce of water in. It can also breed in running water, so stagnant pools of water are not its only breeding sites. It has a short flight range (less than 200 m), so breeding sites are likely to be close to where this mosquito is foundAnswers.com.
Similar speciesSome mosquitoes in North_America, such as Ochlerotatus canadensis, have a similar leg pattern.
In Europe, the mosquito,Culiseta annulata, which is very common but does not occur in high densities, can be mistaken for an Asian tiger mosquito because of its black and white ringed legs. However, this species is missing the distinctive white line that runs from the middle of its head and down the thorax. It is also considerably larger than Aedes albopictus, is not black and white, but rather beige and grey striped, and has wings with noticeable veins and four dark, indistinct spots.
In the eastern Mediterranean area, Aedes albopictusspecies can be mistaken with Aedes cretinus, which also belongs to the subgenus Stegomyia and utilizes similar breeding waters. Aedes cretinus also has a white stripe on the Scutum, but it ends shortly before the abdomen, and also has two additional stripes to the left and right of the middle stripe. So far Aedes cretinus is only located in Cyprus, Crete, Greece, Macedonia, Georgia and TurkeyAnswers.com.
In Asia, the Asian tiger mosquito can be mistaken for other members of the subgenus Stegomyia, because they frequently display a similar black and white pattern, particularly, the most prevalent species in the tropics and subtropics, the yellow fever mosquito Aedes_aegypti. It can be hard to distinguish Aedes albopictus from the closely related Aedes scutellaris (India, Indonesia, Papua_New_Guinea, and the Philippines), Aedes pseudoalbopictus (India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam) and Aedes seatoi (Thailand) Answers.comAnswers.com.
EcologyFile:Aedes_albopictus_on_human_skin.jpgBloated female at the end of a meal. Diet and host locationLike other mosquito species, only the females require a blood meal to develop their eggs. Apart from that, they feed on nectar and other sweet plant juices just as the males do. In regards to Host_(biology) location, Carbon_dioxideand organic substances produced from the host, humidity, and optical recognition play important roles.
The search for a host takes place in two phases. First, the mosquito exhibits a nonspecific searching behavior until the perception of host stimulants which is then followed by a targeted approach.Answers.comFor catching tiger mosquitoes with special traps, carbon dioxide and a combination of chemicals that naturally occur in human skin (Fatty_acids, Ammonia, and Lactic_acid) are the most attractiveAnswers.com.
The Asian tiger mosquito particularly bites during the day. Depending upon region and biotype there are differing active peaks but for the most part they rest during the morning and night hours. They search for their hosts inside and outside of human dwellings, but are particularly active outside. The size of the blood meal depends upon the size of the mosquito, but it is usually around 2 microliters http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/ÎœlAnswers.comAnswers.com.
Aedes albopictus also bites other Mammalsand birds besides humansAnswers.comAnswers.com. They are always on the search for a host and are both persistent and cautious when it comes to their blood meal and host location. Their blood meal is often broken off short without enough blood ingested for the development of their eggs. This is why Asian tiger mosquitoes bite multiple hosts during their development cycle of the egg, making them particularly efficient at transmitting diseases. The mannerism of biting diverse host species enables the Asian tiger mosquito to be a potential bridge vector for certain Pathogens, for example, the West_Nile_Virusthat can jump species boundaries.
Natural enemiesToxorhynchiteslarvae, a mosquito genus that does not suck blood, feeds upon other mosquito larvae and are often found together with tiger mosquito larvae. Flatwormsand also small swimming beetles are considered natural predatorsAnswers.com.
Primarily fungi, ciliates, paramecia, and protozoan act as parasites to Asian tiger mosquitoes. Relatives of Oomycetes, also known as water molds, from the genus Coelomomyces(PhylumChytridiomycota, Order_(biology) Blastocladiales) develop inside the visceral cavity of mosquito larvae. The species Coelomomyces stegomyiae was first found on the Asian tiger mosquitoAnswers.com. Paramecium, or ciliates, can also affect Aedes albopictus larvae and the first detected species was Lambornella stegomyiae(Hymenostomatida: Tetrahymenidae)Answers.com. The virulence, mortality rate, and subsequent possibilities of Lambornella being implemented as a biological remedy to control Aedes albopictus, however, has conflicting viewsAnswers.comAnswers.com. Sporozoansof the genus Ascogregarina (Lecudinidae) infect the larval stage of mosquitoes. The species Ascogregarina taiwanensis was described in Asian tiger mosquitoesAnswers.com. When the adult mosquitoes emerge from their pupal case, they leave the infectious intermediary stage of parasites in the water and close off the infection cycle. Infected adults are generally smaller than non-infected adults and have an insignificantly higher mortality rate; therefore, food supply and larval density apparently play a roll. In competitive situations, an infection with sporozoans can also reduce the biological fitness of other non-infected mosquitoes. However, the utilization of parasites as an effective biological remedy to control mosquito populations is implausible because it is essential that the host reaches the adult stage in order for the transmission of the parasitesAnswers.com.
Even though they do not commonly occur in the natural habitats of Asian tiger mosquitoes, predatory Copepodsfrom the Cyclopidae family seem to willingly feed on them given the opportunityAnswers.com. Relatives of different genera could therefore present an interesting possibility in the control of tiger mosquitoesAnswers.com.
Predators of adult Aedes albopictus in Malaysia include various spider species. Up to 90% of the gathered spiders from rubber plantations and a cemetery fed upon Asian tiger mosquitoes. Whether the spiders would have an effect on the mosquito population is still unclear. Tiger mosquitoes were abundantly present despite the existence of the spidersAnswers.com.
DistributionClimatic adaptationsAlthough Aedes albopictus is native to tropical and subtropical regions, they are successfully adapting themselves to cooler regions. In the warm and humid tropical regions, they are active the entire year long, however, in temperate regions they hibernate over winter.

In Europethe Asian tiger mosquito first emerged in Albaniain 1979, where they were evidently introduced through a shipment of goods from China. In 1990/1991, they were most likely brought to Italyin used tires from Georgia (USA) and since then have spread throughout the entire mainland of Italyas well as parts of Sicilyand Sardinia. Since 1999 they have established themselves on the mainland of France, primarily southern France. In 2002, they were also discovered in a vacation town on the island of Corsica, but did not completely establish themselves there until 2005.

Competition with established speciesAedes albopictus can outcompete and even eradicate other species with similar breeding habitats from the very start of its dispersal to other regions and biotopes.Answers.com
In Kolkata, for example, it was already observed in the 1950s that in city districts where the malaria mosquito (genus Anopheles) was fought off with DDTthere were also no yellow fever mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti) to be found. Nevertheless, egg depositing containers were being settled by the Asian tiger mosquitoes.Answers.comThe reason why, in this case, may be due to the fact that primarily the inner walls of the houses were treated with DDT to kill the mosquitoes resting there and fight the malaria mosquito. The yellow fever mosquito also lingers particularly in the inside of buildings and would have been also affected. The Asian tiger mosquito rests in the vicinity of human dwellings would therefore have an advantage over the other two species. In other cases, where the yellow fever mosquito was repressed by the Asian tiger mosquito, for instance in Florida, this explanation does not fit.Answers.comAnswers.comOther hypotheses include competition in the larval breeding waters, differences in metabolism and reproductive biology, or a major susceptibility to sporozoans (Apicomplexa).Answers.com
Another species, which was suppressed by the migrating Aedes albopictus was Aedes guamensis in Guam.Answers.com
The Asian tiger mosquito is similar, in terms of their close socialization with humans, to the common house mosquito (Culex_pipiens). Among other differences in their biology, Culex pipiensprefers larger breeding waters and is more tolerant to cold. In this respect, there is probably not any significant competition or suppression between the two species.Answers.com
A possible competition among mosquito species that all lay their eggs in knotholes and other similar places (Aedes cretinus, Aedes geniculatus and Anopheles plumbeus) has yet to be observed. These species, however, do not appear to favor human environments.
In Europe, the Asian tiger mosquito apparently covers an extensive new niche. This means that there are no native, long-established species that conflict with the dispersal of Aedes albopictus.
Role as disease vectorsIt is known that Aedes albopictus can transmit pathogens and viruses, such as, the West_Nile_Virus, Yellow_fever_virus, St._Louis_Encephalitis, Dengue_fever, and Chikungunya_feverto name a few.Answers.com
The Asian tiger mosquito was responsible for the Chikungunya epidemic on the French Island La_Réunion in 2005/2006. By September 2006, there was an estimated 266,000 people that were infected with the virus and 248 fatalities on the island.Answers.comThe Asian tiger mosquito was also the transmitter of the virus in the first and only outbreak of Chikungunya fever on the European continent. This outbreak occurred in the Italian province of Ravennain the summer of 2007, and infected over 200 people.Answers.comAnswers.comEvidently, mutated strains of the Chikungunya virus are being directly transmitted through Aedes albopictus particularly well and in such a way that another dispersal of the disease in regions with the Asian tiger mosquito is feared.Answers.com
The tiger mosquito is also relevant to veterinarian medicine. For example, the tiger mosquitoes are transmitters of Dirofilaria immitis, a parasitic round worm that causes Heartwormin dogs and cats.Answers.com
Control and suppressionFile:Ditch_litter_5622.jpgLitter in roadside ditches makes an ideal breeding ground for the Asian tiger mosquito.Aedes albopictus has proven to be very difficult to suppress or to control due to their remarkable ability to adapt to various environments, their close contact with humans, and their reproductive biology. File:Ovitrap-Ticino.jpgAn Ovitrap, a tool for the detection of Asian tiger mosquitoes. Their presence is confirmed through the eggs they lay on the wooden paddle. The brown granules in the water are a BTI preparation that will kill hatching mosquito larvae.
Efficient monitoring or surveillance is essential to prevent the spread and establishment of the species. In addition to the monitoring of ports, warehouses with imported plants, and stockpiles of tires, rest areas on highways and train stations should be monitored with appropriate methods.Answers.com
The control of the Asian tiger mosquito begins with destroying the places where they lay their eggs, which are never far from where people are being bitten, since this is a weak flyer, with only about a 200-yard lifetime flying radius. Locate puddles that last more than three days, sagging or plugged roof gutters, old tires holding water, litter, bird baths, inlets to sewers and drainage systems holding stagnant water and any other possible containers or pools of standing water. Flower pots, standing flower vases, knotholes and other crevices that can collect water should be filled with sand or fine gravel to prevent mosquitoes from laying their eggs in them. Litter can also hold rain water and should be removed.
Any standing water in pools, catchment basins, etc, that cannot be drained, or dumped, can be periodically treated with properly labeled insecticides or Bacillus_thuringiensis_israelensis(Bti) often formed into doughnut shaped "mosquito dunks". Bti is a Bacteriumthat produces toxins which are effective in killing larvae of mosquitoes and certain other Diptera, while having almost no effect on other organisms. Bti preparations are readily available at farm, garden, and pool suppliers.
Flowing water will not be a breeding spot and water that contains Minnowis not usually a problem, because the Fisheat the mosquito Larva. Dragonflyare also an excellent method of imposing control. Dragonfly larvae eat mosquito larvae in the water, and adults will snatch adult mosquitoes as they fly.
Insecticideapplication against adult mosquitoes has only a limited effect. Most mosquito spraying done at night will have little effect on Asian tiger mosquitoes, if the resting places are not treated. Daytime spraying may be a violation of label directions if foraging bees are present on blossoms in the application area. More importantly, larvae and the dried eggs are a reservoir from which the mosquito population will usually recover rapidly.
In any case, an efficient surveillance is essential to monitor the presence of tiger mosquitoes and the effect control programs have. So called Ovitraps are normally used for the monitoring of Aedes albopictus. They are black water containers with floating Styrofoam blocks or small wooden paddles that are in contact with the surface of the water. Female tiger mosquitoes lay their eggs on these surfaces. Through the identification of these eggs or of the larvae that hatch from these eggs in the laboratory, the presence and abundance of mosquito species can be estimated. Versions of these traps with an adhesive film (sticky traps) that catch the egg depositing mosquitoes make the analysis much easier and quicker, but are more complicated in terms of handling.Answers.comAnswers.comThe results of ovitraps are often variable and depend on the availability of alternative egg depositing waters. Due to this, it is best to use them in large numbers and in conjunction with other monitoring methods.
To date, there are few effective traps for the adult Asian tiger mosquito. Those traps that catch other species of mosquitoes do not catch tiger mosquitoes efficiently. A new trap type has now been shown to catch significant numbers of Aedes albopictus.Answers.comAnswers.comThis device, with the help of a ventilator, produces an upward air current of Ammonia, Fatty_acid, and Lactic_acidthat takes a similar form and smell of a human body. With the addition of Carbon_dioxide, the efficacy of the trap is increased. This means there is a suitable tool available for trapping adult tiger mosquitoes and, for example, examining the existence of viruses in the trapped mosquitoes. Previously, the mosquitoes had to be collected off of volunteers to be studied, which is ethically questionable especially during epidemics. Recent research also indicates that this trap type may also have a use as a control tool: in a study in Cesena, Italy, the amount of biting tiger mosquitoes was reduced in places where traps were put up.Answers.com
