Abstract

Containerization and the Lighter Aboard Ship (LASH) concept have transformed the international shipping industry in the past decade. These technological advances and their potential significance to medical entomology are discussed in the light of the capture of an adult female Aedes albopictus in the center of Memphis, Tennessee.
