“…Los escasos trabajos publicados durante las últimas décadas se centraron, fundamentalmente, en las especies de mayor interés sanitario como Anopheles albimanus Weidemann, 1820, Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) y Ae. albopictus (entre otros, Mekuria et al , 1991Shono et al 1991;Peña 1993;Marquetti et al 2011;Marquetti-Fernández et al 2012), habiendo relegado los estudios de diversidad de especies silvestres a un segundo plano en importancia. No obstante, actualmente existe un interés renovado para el estudio de la taxonomía y distribución de los culícidos, pero también, y lógicamente, en relación a su destacada relevancia en la transmisión de patógenos, sobre todo arbovirus (Alarcón-Elbal et al, 2017).…”

Culex (Culex) garciai fue descrita por primera vez por González Broche (2000) a partir de ejemplares recolectados en las provincias cubanas orientales de Granma y Santiago de Cuba, a una altitud entre 120 y 620 msnm, respectivamente. Algunos años después, fue localizada también en la provincia de La Habana, a 65 msnm. En el presente estudio, se muestran los primeros hallazgos de esta especie para La Española, donde se ha localizado en entornos agrestes del municipio de Jarabacoa, provincia de La Vega, República Dominicana, a una altitud entre los 528 y 657 msnm. Los estados preimaginales fueron encontrados en hábitats naturales y artificiales, como huecos excavados en las rocas, troncos de bambú, charcos de agua de lluvia y en contenedores artificiales. Culex (Culex) garciai was first described by González Broche (2000) from specimens collected in the eastern Cuban provinces of Granma and Santiago de Cuba, between 120 and 620 MASL, respectively. Later, the species was also found in the province of Havana above 65 MASL. In this study, the first records of this species from Hispaniola are given. Cx. garciai has been located in a mountainous rural area in the municipality of Jarabacoa, Province of La Vega, Dominican Republic, between 528 and 657 MASL. Immature stages have been found in natural and artificial habitats, such as rocks pools, bamboo trunks, temporary rainwater puddles and artificial containers.

“…Their presence in these countries is not currently recognized. In the third period (2000-2010), the mosquito significantly expanded its distribution to ten countries, including Bermuda, Canada, Trinidad and Tobago, Panama, Uruguay, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Belize, and Haiti [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. In the fourth period (2011-2021), the presence of the mosquito was only reported in Ecuador in 2017 and in Jamaica in 2018 [34,35].…”

Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus is a mosquito native to Southeast Asia. Currently, it has a wide distribution in America, where natural infection with arboviruses of medical and veterinary importance has been reported. In spite of their importance in the transmission of endemic arbovirus, the basic information of parameters affecting their vectorial capacity is poorly investigated. The aim of the work was to update the distribution range of Ae. albopictus in the Americas, review the blood-feeding patterns, and compare the minimum infection rate (MIR) of the Dengue virus (DENV) between studies of vertical and horizontal transmission. The current distribution of Ae. albopictus encompasses 21 countries in the Americas. An extensive review has been conducted for the blood-feeding patterns of Ae. albopictus. The results suggest that the mosquito is capable of feeding on 16 species of mammals and five species of avian. Humans, dogs, and rats are the most common hosts. Eight arboviruses with the potential to infect humans and animals have been isolated in Ae. albopictus. In the United States of America (USA), Eastern equine encephalitis virus, Keystone virus, La Crosse Virus, West Nile virus, and Cache Valley virus were isolated in the Asian mosquito. In Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Costa Rica, DENV (all serotypes) has been frequently identified in field-caught Ae. albopictus. Overall, the estimated MIR in Ae. albopictus infected with DENV is similar between horizontal (10.95) and vertical transmission (8.28). However, in vertical transmission, there is a difference in the MIR values if the DENV is identified from larvae or adults (males and females emerged from a collection of eggs or larvae). MIR estimated from larvae is 14.04 and MIR estimated in adults is 4.04. In conclusion, it has to be highlighted that Ae. albopictus is an invasive mosquito with wide phenotypic plasticity to adapt to broad and new areas, it is highly efficient to transmit the DENV horizontally and vertically, it can participate in the inter-endemic transmission of the dengue disease, and it can spread zoonotic arboviruses across forest and urban settings.

Among the emerging infectious diseases, the arboviral diseases group has a significant impact worldwide due to its epidemic potential and unprecedented spread. These diseases, mostly zoonoses, represent a serious public health problem in the Americas and especially in the Caribbean, which have a nearly uninterrupted transmission pattern throughout the year and are becoming an obstacle to economic development. In fact, in recent decades there has been a significant increase in the number of epidemiological outbreaks caused by emerging and reemerging arbovirus in many Caribbean countries, as in the case of Dominican Republic, where the incidence of diseases such as dengue, chikungunya and most recently Zika and Mayaro viruses have grown considerably causing great concern in public health. Clearly, other factors such as the lack of sources and proper action plans, among other reasons, have a negative influence in the control of these viruses. The current work aims to provide a picture of the main arboviral diseases spread by mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) that affect the Caribbean islands, particularly the island of Hispaniola, the second largest of the Antilles.
