In order to produce a breeding population, several mosquitoes need to hitch a ride on the same ship and stay close enough together that they can mate after arriving. They also need to survive the trip over without that much food. I imagine its quite unlikely.


Strong disagree. One auto tire with a few cups of stagnant water can easily have dozens of larvae.

On an entire ship? Probably hundreds of dozens.


Birds can carry insects or their eggs all over the place too.
