Culex Modestus in Italy and the archive link for the swedish report

First the report cited in the 4th citation is not available anymore, so here is an archive link, https://web.archive.org/web/20161011120155/http://www.sva.se/om-sva/pressrum/nyheter-fran-sva/nilfebersmyggan-upptackt-i-skane Second, I merely Google translated it, but I did it in 2 different languages I know and from what I get in this paragraph

"The mosquito was definitively identified as a Nile fever mosquito. The mosquito got its name because it often plays a key role in outbreaks of the disease West Nile Fever, which is caused by a virus of the same name (West Nile virus). The disease West Nile Fever does not exist in Sweden. On the other hand, outbreaks have occurred in countries such as Hungary, France, Greece, Portugal and Italy."

That doesn't mean the mosquito is in Italy, but merely that West Nile virus outbreaks have occurred in Italy, and since this mosquito is not the only nor the primary cause for that virus, it doesn't mean that is present in Italy, we are going to need a better quote than that. 79.11.109.71 (talk) 07:22, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT: The walter reed link doesn't work anymore here is the right one https://wrbu.si.edu/vectorspecies/mosquitoes/cx_modestus Here is the proper citation probably for its presence in Italy "Ficalbi, E. (1890a). Notizie preventive sulle zanzare italiane. IV. Nota preventiva (1). Descrizione di una specie nuova. Zanzara di colorito modesto. Culex modestus, n. sp. Bullettino della Società Entomologica Italiana, 21(for 1889), 93–94. " — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.11.109.71 (talk) 07:27, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
