Abstract

Potential Impact of Aedes Albopictus (Skuse,1894), an Arbovirus and Nematode Vector, on Human Public Health

Highlights

  • Mosquitoes Aedes (Diptera: Culicidae) are responsible for transmission of some diseases of strong impact on individuals and public health, namely Yellow Fever, Dengue, Chikungunya Fever, and Dirofilariasis

  • Another situation that deserves to be considered is the competition between species which can change the entomological fauna at short term or at medium/ long term. This competition was already been observed for example, between A. albopictus and A. aegypti in Madagascar, where A. aegypti has become rare, contrasting with what was previously observed, this change being predominantly driven by human activities and the rainfall regime that provide suitable breeding sites for this highly antropophilic mosquito [13]

  • Available Online albopictus is demonstrated there is the need to control this mosquito in areas where it is established and the surveillance for this species be maintained in all areas where there is a risk of introduction
