He spent years analyzing the composition of scents that are attractive to mosquitoes and finding the key factors that influence the behavior of these flying disease vectors.

Distribution of the Asian tiger mosquito:
The Asian tiger mosquito.Aedes albopictus. has become one of the major mosquito pest species throughout most of the south-central and eastern United States.

The tiger mosqito can be the vector of numerous diseases such as dengue. Zika. and chikungunya.
Behavior:
Unlike other nuisance mosquitoes. the tiger mosquitoes are primarily active during the day. including dawn and dusk. In many communities. it has become the major pest mosquito and. due to its unusually aggressive biting. has taken the joy out of spending time in the yard and garden. Adult tiger mosquitoes tend to rest near the ground in vegetation and readily bite if disturbed. They tend to have a short flight range and remain within a few hundred meters of their larval habitats. Tiger mosquitoes developed a great adaptability in colonizing new habitats in urban and suburban areas. Females utilize flower pots. bird baths. soda cans. buckets. plant saucers. plastic drainpipe extensions and many other human-made water holding containers as sites to deposit eggs.
Identification (Asian tiger mosquito):
“Albopictus” means white-painted. TheAsian tiger mosquito is a small mosquito. with sizes ranging between 1/10 and 1/3 inch. The animal is black with bright white marks. A single white line that begins on the head and continues down the back of the central part of the body (the thorax) is the most conspicuous characteristic. along with the white markings on the legs.
