Live larvae of Aedes albopictus have been found entering South Africa in used tire casings imported from Japan on 3 separate occasions. This is the first evidence that this mosquito is entering Africa and underlines the value of mosquito monitoring programs to detect the importations of this important vector. It is suggested that undetected populations of Ae. albopictus may have already become established in Africa.
