Detection of Aedes ( Fredwardsius ) vittatus Mosquitoes, Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico, 2025

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We report detection of Aedes (Fredwardsius) vittatus mosquitoes in continental North America, in Yucatán, Mexico. Phylogenetic analysis clustered the sequence from mosquitoes collected in Mexico with Caribbean mosquito lineages, suggesting species introduction via the Caribbean. Given its arbovirus competence, urgent inclusion of the Ae. vittatus mosquito in surveillance programs is warranted.
