ABSTRACT

Aedes albopictus is originally from South-east Asia and has been spread out during the last decades to Africa, Europe and America continents. Its wide distribution is apparently due to transportation of viable eggs in used tires. This mosquito is associated with the transmission of dengue and other arboviruses. Objective. To determine the spatial distribution of breeding sites of Ae. albopictus during 2007 in Boyeros municipality, Cuba. Materials and methods. A complete survey in the municipality (seven health area) was carried out during january-december 2007 by the Aedes aegypti control program workers. Containers with water and larval traps were sampled. Results. Ae. albopictus was found distributed in the seven health areas, and its presence was found in 58 (90.6%) out of 64 localities sampled in the municipality. The major number of positive blocks was found in Mulgoba area with 114 (64.40%) and the lowest in Wajay with 14 (7.60%) of the total. The most positive container was larval traps in three of the health areas and in two of the areas tins were the most positive, whereas in the rest of the areas both containers showed similar infestation. The majority of the containers with Ae albopictus infestation were found outside houses. Conclusions. New knowledge about distribution and preferences are reported regarding breeding of Ae albopictus in different containers, i.e. mainly in larval traps used as surveillance method by the program established in Cuba.
