Here it is, every point about Ades Aegypti (the zika mosquito) I have ever made in one place:
http://ecdc.europa.eu/en/healthtopics/vectors/mosquitoes/Pages/aedes-aegypti.aspx

"Aedes aegypti, unlike Ae. albopictus is not able to undergo winter diapause as eggs,(my insert, - which keeps them out of high mountain places like Mexico City that are cold in the winter unless someone drops them there, and then they die) and this therefore limits their ability to exploit more northerly temperate regions (although some survival is possible during the summer following an importation). However it may establish in regions of Europe showing a humid subtropical climate (parts of Mediterranean and Black Sea countries) such as the Sochi region where it has become established again since 2001 (Black Seas coast).

Species competition has also been shown to affect distribution and abundance. A decrease in the distribution of Ae. aegypti has been associated with the invasion of Ae. albopictus, especially in south-eastern USA [5]. They also have limited dispersal capability as adults [5] with a flight range estimate of only 200m [20].
