In total, more than 100 ovitraps were placed on 16 study sites - close surroundings of refuelling gas stations and neighbouring parking lots. Results: In August and September 2017. totally eight specimens of Ae. albopictus were collected at the ovitrao site near Mezno/Mitrovice. Central Bohemia on D3 motorway and other two specimens were recovered at the gas station near Rozvadov, West Bohemia on D5 motorway. On the other hand, Ae. albopictus was not recorded on a main Czech motorway D1 connecting Prague and Bratislava caoitals during the monitoring.
