[Occurrence of Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (Skuse) in urban area of Tocantins state, Brazil]
Neotropical Entomology 37 (2), 233-235
Abstract: This is the first report of the presence of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) in the Tocantins State, Brazil, in urban area of the Mateiros city. Immature specimens (aquatic stages) of this vector were collected in water reservoirs, treeholes, old tires and others. The existence of Ae. albopictus in the metropolitan area poses a potential risk for the interaction of this mosquito species with the urban human population.
