Like most invasive species, humans face significantly less predation and parasitism in foreign lands.
The mosquito in question doesn't live in colder environments, this is the same reason why Massachusetts doesn't have a Malaria problem.
"Although the climate in some newly invaded areas is conducive to reproduction and survival of this mosquito, in other areas, harsh winters may prevent survival of overwintering eggs into the spring."
