Routine biosurveillance efforts at the Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on 18 June 2019, detected two unusual mosquitos in a CO-baited CDC light trap. Morphological and molecular analysis confirmed the presence of Aedes (Fredwardsius) vittatus (Bigot, 1861) - the first record of the Old World dengue, chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever virus vector into the Americas - and provides evidence for its establishment in Cuba. Newly submitted GenBank sequences from Dominican Republic further evidence its establishment in the Caribbean, and a median-joining network analysis using mitochondrial COI gene sequences clearly supports multiple introductions of Ae. vittatus into the Caribbean from the Indian subcontinent. It was determined that many Ae. vittatus COI barcode sequences in GenBank are currently misidentified as Aedes (Fredwardsius) cogilli Edwards, 1922.
2019 年 6 月 18 日，在古巴关塔那摩湾海军基地进行的常规生物监测工作中，在 CO 诱饵诱蚊灯中发现了两只异常的蚊子。形态学和分子分析证实存在埃及伊蚊（Fredwardsius） vittatus（Bigot，1861）-这是该病毒首次进入美洲的旧世界登革热、基孔肯雅热、寨卡和黄热病病毒媒介，并为其在古巴的建立提供了证据。来自多米尼加共和国的新提交的 GenBank 序列进一步证明了其在加勒比地区的建立，使用线粒体 COI 基因序列的中位数连接网络分析清楚地支持了从印度次大陆向加勒比地区多次引入埃及伊蚊 vittatus。现已确定，GenBank 中许多埃及伊蚊 vittatus COI 条形码序列目前被错误地鉴定为 Aedes（Fredwardsius） cogilli Edwards，1922。
