Aedes albopictus distribution in Ibagu é, Colombia: Potential risk of arboviral outbreaks

CONCLUSIONS: Aedes albopictus is distributed throughout all the communes of Ibague. Its dispersion has probably been favored by this region’s environmental and social conditions. We recommend annual monitoring of these vectors populations and molecular characterization of the found arboviruses. Ascertaining this mosquito’s distribution throughout the city will enable focusing entomological control strategies and preventing future arbovirus outbreaks.PMID:38109139 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.7010
