The invasive mosquito is currently distributed in most of the southern Mexican region. Since the species was first recorded in the state of Tamaulipas, in northeastern Mexico in 1988, it has expanded its distribution throughout the Sierra Madre Oriental and Gulf of Mexico to the Neotropical region of the country. Currently the species occurs in the states of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Veracruz, Chiapas, Morelos, Quintana Roo, Sinaloa, San Luis Potosi, and Hidalgo. This is the first report of the mosquito in the states of Tabasco and Yucatan and the confirmation of its presence in Quintana Roo state. has been incriminated as a secondary vector of diseases such as those caused by dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses, which have caused epidemic outbreaks in most tropical and subtropical regions of Mexico; therefore, surveillance for the detection of is paramount so that targeted control strategies can be implemented for its control throughout Mexico.
这种侵袭性蚊子目前分布在墨西哥南部的大部分地区。自1988年该物种首次在墨西哥东北部的塔毛利帕斯州被记录以来，其分布范围已扩展至整个东马德雷山脉和墨西哥湾，直至该国的新热带地区。目前，该物种出现在塔毛利帕斯州、科阿韦拉州、新莱昂州、韦拉克鲁斯州、恰帕斯州、莫雷洛斯州、金塔纳罗奥州、锡那罗亚州、圣路易斯波托西州和伊达尔戈州。这是该蚊子在塔巴斯科州和尤卡坦州的首次报告，也是其在金塔纳罗奥州存在的确认。它已被认定为登革热、基孔肯雅热和寨卡病毒等疾病的次要传播媒介，这些疾病在墨西哥的大多数热带和亚热带地区引发了疫情；因此，对该蚊子的监测至关重要，以便在墨西哥各地实施针对性的控制策略来控制它。
