TL;DR: Because of their potential importance in JE transmission, the collection records for the following species will be provided: Cx.
Abstract: (Leicester), Culex mimeticus Noe, Culex nigropunctatus Edwards, Culex pallidothorax Theo., Culex pseudosinensis Colless, Culex pseudovishnui, Culex rubithoracis (Leicester), Culex tritaeniorhynchus, Culex sinensis Theo., Culex sitiens Weid., Culex vishnui, and Culex whitmorei (Giles). The collection of Cx. mimeticus and Cx. pseudiosinensis represents the first Indonesian records of these species. Voucher specimens are located in the U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit 2 laboratory and will be made available for further study in conjunction with the Indonesian Ministry of Health. Because of their potential importance in JE transmission, the collection records for the following species will be provided: Cx. fuscocephala, Cx. gelidus, Cx. pseudovishnui, Cx. tritaeniorhynchus, and Cx. vishnui.

TL;DR: With a large transient human population coming from areas of endemic mosquito-borne disease, a number of suitable vector species, and a non-immune resident human population, Guam fulfills the basic epidemiological requirements for an outbreak of mosquito-bourne disease.
Abstract: The Island of Guam was surveyed for adult and immature mosquitoes by the Entomology Division, 1st Medical Service Wing (PACAF) from 7–16 February 1971 and adult mosquitoes were collected by light trap during 1970 by the Military Public Health Section, 863rd USAF Dispensary. Thirty-two different species including 18 apparent introductions and 1 new species were collected; Aedes aegypti, Ae. scutellaris. Ae. vexans niponii, Anopheles lesteri, An. sinensis, An. tesselatus, An. vagus, and Culex sinensis are among those that have previously been implicated as disease vectors. With a large transient human population coming from areas of endemic mosquito-borne disease, a number of suitable vector species, and a non-immune resident human population, Guam fulfills the basic epidemiological requirements for an outbreak of mosquito-borne disease. This situation seems especially critical for dengue fever.
