Abstract
Abstract : Aedes seatoi is recorded from 8 Thailand provinces. Observations show A. seatoi bites man, and suggest it is semi-domestic and usually selects natural bamboo containers for oviposition, rather than artificial containers. Aedes albopictus, A. seatoi, A. annandalei, A. aegypti, A. gardnerii imitator and A. pseudalbopictus were collected in rural villages by bamboo cup surveys in that order of frequency. Incidence of A. aegypti utilization of natural containers in rural villages was higher than anticipated and deserves serious consideration in future surveys. Larval associations of Stegomyia species in natural and artificial containers in rural village habitats were complex and add an additional taxonomic burden to surveys. This burden is due to the nearly identical larvae of A. aegypti and A. seatoi and nearly identical adults of A. albopictus and A. seatoi.
