Dengue, global health threat, is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in most of the countries in tropical and sub-tropical regions. With increasing globalization, dengue is becoming an increasing threat to non-endemic countries. The imported dengue cases are increasing year by year. In late August 2014, the autochthonous dengue epidemic was occurred in Japan. More than 200 dengue imported cases have been notified through national surveillance in recent years. Zika viral diseases are also mosquito-borne viral infection. The main vector mosquitoes of dengue virus and Zika virus are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Aedes albopictus is active in summer in Japan. The controls for Aedes albopictus are important to prevent the entry of those viruses.
