The measures taken to investigate these events included (i) communication to health authorities, (ii) expert on-site visits and verification of findings, (iii) enhanced active surveillance, and (iv) development of an Emergency Action Plan followed by a Contingency Plan. These emergency action plans were developed to delimitate the infested areas and to prevent the spreading of the mosquito populations into new areas. The general principles are presented along with their rationale to serve as guidelines for other geographical regions targeting suppression\/eradication with a sterile insect technique component. In parallel, this manuscript serves as a call for action at the European level to impede the further spread of these species and support the activities being undertaken in Cyprus to combat the incursions of\n                    <jats:italic>Aedes<\/jats:italic>\n                    invasive species.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1051\/parasite\/2023043","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,29]],"date-time":"2023-09-29T03:58:41Z","timestamp":1695959921000},"page":"41","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Two invasions at once: update on the introduction of the invasive species\n                    <i>Aedes aegypti<\/i>\n                    and\n                    <i>Aedes albopictus<\/i>\n                    in Cyprus \u2013 a call for action in Europe"],"prefix":"10.1051","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Marlen Ines","family":"Vasquez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gregoris","family":"Notarides","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sotiris","family":"Meletiou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eleni","family":"Patsoula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mihaela","family":"Kavran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonios","family":"Michaelakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Romeo","family":"Bellini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toumazis","family":"Toumazi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeremy","family":"Bouyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Du\u0161an","family":"Petri\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"250","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"142","DOI":"10.1016\/S1473-3099(18)30018-5","volume":"18","author":"Abozeid","year":"2018","journal-title":"Lancet Infectious Diseases"},{"key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0004664","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0004664","volume":"10","author":"Akiner","year":"2016","journal-title":"PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases"},{"key":"R3","first-page":"E071122.2","volume":"12","author":"Angelini","year":"2007","journal-title":"Euro Surveillance"},{"key":"R4","unstructured":"Aziz M. 1934.
