In connections with global warming become spreading of invasive mosquitoes species serious health problem. Many of them taking man blood and also are vectors of many diseases. In Europe were detected from species taking man blood Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus, Ochlerotatus japonicus and Oc. koreicus, which were introduced from East and South East Asia and Oc. atropalpus and Oc. triseriatus from North America. Aedes albopictus occur on the large territory mainly in the South and East South Europe and his presence is on some localities massive. Also species Oc. japonicus and Oc. koreicus occupied some localities. Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus are dangerous vectors of pathogenic agent transferable on man. However, remaining species is also necessary consider for potentional vectors.
