Abstract: Aedes aegypti prefers densely populated habitats, but has been shown to explore less anthropogenic environments. We investigated composition of the abundance of mosquitoes in forested areas and assessed relationships between species occurrences and different types of land use and land cover at three spatial scales (100m, 500m and 1000m). Mosquitoes were collected from October 2012 to March 2013 using oviposition traps. We collected 4,179 mosquitoes in total including at least 10 species. Aedes albopictus and L… Show more

“…There, this mosquito is typically present in areas with dense vegetation but has colonized consistently anthropic areas [10,15]. Brazilian studies have described A. albopictus presence in urban areas with reminiscent forests [5,6,13,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22], in slums [15], in suburban areas [13,16], and in peridomicile and intradomicile location [16,23], evidencing its dispersion across sylvatic and urban settings [10,15] and its domestication [15]. The ability to use natural and artificial containers of water for breeding [9, 12, 15-18, 21, 24] supports this ecological plasticity [25].…”
