“…This species was first reported in Brazil in 1986 in the states of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais (Forattini 1986). Since then, its rapid and wide dispersion has been recorded throughout several Brazilian regions: in the southeastern region (Júnior et al 2019), in the southern states (Pancetti et al 2015), in the mid-western region (Santos and Nascimento 1998), and in northeastern Brazil (Martins et al 2006). In Brazil, the presence of Ae.…”

The mosquito Aedes albopictus is a vector of several arboviruses transmitted to humans. They have a sylvatic behavior, occurring in rural areas. However, reports of their adaptation to anthropic environments have been increasing. The aim of this study is to investigate the presence and distribution of Ae. albopictus in the Metropolitan Region of Belém in the Brazilian Amazon and evaluate its preference for either natural or artificial breeding sites under the weather conditions of the Amazon. Ovitraps (artificial breeding sites) and bamboo internodes (natural breeding sites) were deployed in neighborhood peridomiciles during the dry and rainy seasons. The results showed that the presence of Ae. albopictus was recorded in 71.4% of the neighborhoods during the dry season and in 69.2% neighborhoods during the rainy season, thus indicating a wide distribution in the region. A significant increase in the frequency of the capture of mosquitoes in areas with higher vegetation cover was observed during the dry season (R2 = 0.2995; p=0.018) but not during the rainy season (R2 = 0.044; p=0.43). Comparing the weekly frequency of Ae. albopictus on positive bamboos and OVT, no significant difference was observed between them (t= 0.559; df= 23; p=0.58). A significant increase in the number of positive breeding sites was observed with increased rainfall for both bamboo (R2 = 0.33; p= 0.002) and OVT (R2 = 0.24; p= 0.013). This is the first report of Ae. albopictus in the metropolitan area of Belém. The findings suggest a wide distribution in the studied area, preferably in areas with more extensive vegetation cover. Additionally, the mosquito population showed the ability to use both natural and artificial habitats.

“…In Brazil, Aedes albopictus was first recorded in 1986, in the southeastern state of Rio de Janeiro (Forattini 1986). Within a few years, the mosquito was reported from the whole southeastern region of the country (Brito et al 1986;Consoli and Oliveira 1994), and had also expanded to the south (Sant'Ana 1996), western-central (Santos and Nascimento 1998) and northeastern regions of Brazil (Martins et al 2006;Santana et al 2014). In northern Brazil, the first record of the mosquito was in 2002, in the state of Pará (Segura et al 2003), and it had not yet been recorded in the states of Amapá and Acre (Carvalho et al 2014).…”

We report the first record of Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) in the state of Amapá, northern Brazil. Two female specimens were collected from a Shannon trap in the locality of Ilha de Santana, municipality of Santana, Amapá. The occurrence of the species was confirmed with the installation of ten ovitraps. Aedes albopictus is a species of epidemiological importance for the transmission of arboviruses. Amapá was one of two Brazilian states without any record of this species.
