On Monday, May 9, the Hawai`i Board of Agriculture preliminarily approved the addition of the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus), the yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti), and the southern house mosquito (Culex quinquefasciatus) to the List of Restricted Animals (Part A). The rule change will allow for inoculated male mosquitoes to be imported to help decrease mosquito populations and mosquito-transmitted diseases.

The proposed order and proposed rule changes may be viewed online at: https://hdoa.hawaii.gov/blog/main/proposed-administrative-rules/

A printed copy of the proposed order and rule changes will be mailed upon request to interested parties who request a copy upon advance payment of costs for photocopying, preparing, and mailing.

During the next 30 days, the Hawai`i Department of Agriculture, Plant Quarantine Branch, will be soliciting comments regarding the proposed addition of the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus), yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti), and the southern house mosquito (Culex quinquefasciatus) to the List of Restricted Animals (Part A). Comments may be sent to
Mr. Jonathan Ho, Inspection and Compliance Section Chief via:

Email: Jonathan.K.Ho@hawaii.gov

Fax: (808) 832-0582

Mail: 1849 Auiki Street, Honolulu, Hawaii 96819

The proposed order will be discussed by both the Advisory Committee on Plants and Animals and the Hawai`i Board of Agriculture at scheduled virtual meetings.
