Title

MOSQUITO SURVEILLANCE AND THE FIRST RECORD OF THE INVASIVE MOS-QUITO SPECIES AEDES (STEGOMYIA) ALBOPICTUS (SKUSE) (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) IN SOUTHERN IRAN

Pages

Abstract

 Background: Epidemics of mosquito-borne viral infections such as DENGUE, chikungunya, West Nile and Rift Valley fevers in neighbouring countries and risk of INTRODUCTION of exotic vectors into IRAN have placed this country at a significant risk for these mosquito-borne diseases.Methods: After the first DENGUE case reported in IRAN in 2008, active entomological surveillance of AEDES ALBOPICTUS (Skuse) and Ae. aegypti (Linnaeus) were conducted in May/Jun, Sep, and Oct/Nov, 2008-2014. Based on occurrence of DENGUE cases and the presence of potential entry sides including ports and boarder gates, 121 sites in eight provinces were monitored for mosquito vectors. Larval collections were carried out using droppers or dippers and adult collec-tions with CDC light traps, human landing catches, aspirator and Pyrethrum spray space catches.Results: A total of 8, 186 larvae and 3, 734 adult mosquitoes were collected belonging to 23 Culicinae species, including 13 of the genus Culex, 1 Culiseta, 1 Uranotaenia, and 8 of the genus Aedes. Five AEDES ALBOPICTUS larvae were identified from the Sistan & Baluchestan province bordering Pakistan in 2009. In 2013, seven Ae. albopictus adult mosquitoes were also collected in a coastal locality near the city of Chabahar in the same province.Conclusion: The detection of larvae and adults of this species in different parts of this province reveal its probable establishment in southeast IRAN, which has implications for public health and requires active entomological surveil-lance as well as the implementation of vector control to prevent the further spread of this critical vector.
