“…Since 2011, Ae. albopictus has been found in all of Managua's municipalities (Table 1); however, our detailed entomological surveys in 2012 demonstrated greatest abundance in peripheral neighborhoods of the city of Managua with semiurban conditions, consistent with previous reports (Rey and O'Connel 2014). This evidence for the movement and invasion of Ae.…”

Aedes aegypti (L.) is the main vector of dengue virus and more recently chikungunya virus in Latin America. However, the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894) is expanding its global range and increasing its role in transmission of these diseases. In this report, we suggest that Ae. albopictus was introduced to the Department of Managua, Nicaragua, in 2010 via two independent routes and demonstrate its dissemination and establishment in urban neighborhoods by 2012. The coexistence of two competent vector species could alter the epidemiology of dengue and chikungunya as well as indicate the need for new strategies aimed at vector control. RESUMEN Aedes aegypti (L.) es el vector principal del virus de dengue y mas recientemente del virus chikungunya an Amé rica Latina. Sin embargo, el mosquito tigre asiático Aedes albopictus está ampliando su rango global, y su rol en la transmisió n de estas enfermedades está aumentando. En este informe, se describe la introducción de Aedes albopictus en el Departamento de Managua, Nicaragua, en 2010 via dos rutas independientes y se documenta su diseminació n y establecimiento en los barrios urbanos en 2012. La co-existencia de dos especies de vectores competentes podría alterar la epidemiología de dengue y chikungunya y sugiere la necesidad de nuevas estrategias de control del vector.

27 Background 28 Three arthorpod-borne viruses (arboviruses) causing human disease have been the focus 29 of a large number of studies in the Americas since 2013 due to their global spread and 30 epidemiological impacts: Zika, dengue, and chikungunya viruses. A large proportion of 31 infections by these viruses are asymptomatic. However, all three viruses are associated with 32 moderate to severe health consequences in a small proportion of cases. Two mosquito species, 33 Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, are among the world's most prominent arboviral vectors, 34 and are known primary vectors for all three viruses in the Americas. 35 Objectives 2 36 This review summarizes the state of the entomological literature surrounding the biology 37 and ecology of vectors of Zika, dengue and chikungunya viruses and factors affecting virus 38 transmission. The rationale of the review was to elucidate consensus and discord between 39 studies, and guide future research based on identified knowledge gaps. 40 Results 41 A total of 196 studies were included in the scoping review after initial screening and 42 subsequent exclusion of out-of-scope studies, secondary data publications, duplicate records, and 43 studies unavailable in English language. 44 Key findings 45 Temperature and humidity have the strongest impact on mosquito distribution and 46 dynamics, development of immatures and arborviral infection rates. Low socioeconomic status 47 and related factors, including poor infrastructure, inconsistent access to water, and high 48 household resident density, have been consistently associated with arbovirus vector occurrence. 49 Effects of interspecific competition on arboviral vector species is currently poorly understood. 50 Vector competence for Zika virus is well established for Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus. 51 Information on Zika virus vector transmission dynamics is sparse in contrast to the wealth of 52 research available for dengue and chikungunya viruses. 53 Conclusions 54Based on the internationally recognized urgency of Zika virus infection as a public health 55 concern, further research on arbovirus vectors and transmission dynamics is of pressing need. 56 57

“…albopictus is the most common species found in tires in the southeast (Yee 2008). Eggs are laid singly above the water line or, in limited instances, directly on the water surface (Hawley 1988, Rey andO'Connell 2014). This former habit takes advantage of future environmental conditions, as eggs won't hatch until a precipitation event has occurred and rising water levels cover the eggs, thus maximizing the time for larval development.…”

Aedes albopictus (Skuse) was introduced in the United States approximately 30 years ago, and since has become an important pest and vector of disease. This species uses small water-holding containers as sites for oviposition and larval development. Larvae can consume a wide range of detritus-based energy sources, including microorganisms, and as such the type and quantity of detritus that enters these systems have been studied for the effects on adult populations. This review examines the documented responses of Ae. albopictus to different larval environments within the United States, and some of its unique ecology that may lead to a better understanding of its spread and success. Field surveys generally find larvae in shaded containers with high amounts of organic detritus. Larvae have higher survival and population growth under high amounts of detritus and microorganisms, but they also can outcompete other species when nutrients are limiting. Allocation of time to feeding by larvae is greater and more focused compared with resident species. These latter two points also may explain differences in carbon and nitrogen composition (nutrient stoichiometry), which point to a lower need for nitrogen. Combined, these facts suggest that the Ae. albopictus is a species with a relatively wide niche that had been able to exploit container habitats in the United States better than resident species. After 30 yr of research, only a narrow range of detritus types and environmental conditions have been examined. Data on factors affecting the production of adults and its spread and apparent success are still needed.
