Abstract

The first record of Aedes albopictus in northern Belize was made in Orange Walk Town, Orange Walk District, on November 3, 2011. Aedes spp. larvae were collected during a routine Ministry of Health mosquito survey and reared to adults. Upon emergence, a mixed population of Aedes aegypti (35) and Ae. albopictus (11) was observed (aegypti:albopictus = 3:1). Subsequent larval and adult surveys in Orange Walk and Corozal District, also in northern Belize, have confirmed the presence of Ae. albopictus, thereby indicating the range expansion and establishment of this nuisance biter and potential disease vector in Belize.

摘要

2011年11月3日，在伯利兹北部奥兰治沃克区的奥兰治沃克镇首次记录到白纹伊蚊。在卫生部的一次常规蚊虫调查中采集到伊蚊属幼虫，并饲养至成虫。羽化后，观察到埃及伊蚊（35只）和白纹伊蚊（11只）的混合种群（埃及伊蚊：白纹伊蚊 = 3:1）。随后在伯利兹北部的奥兰治沃克区和科罗萨尔区进行的幼虫和成虫调查证实了白纹伊蚊的存在，从而表明这种骚扰性叮咬昆虫和潜在疾病媒介在伯利兹的范围扩大和定殖。
