Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus and Culex quinquefasciatus adults found coexisting in urban and semiurban dwellings of southern Chiapas, Mexico
Aedes aegypti, Ae albopictus, and Culex quinquefasciatus, three mosquito species of medical importance, were found coexisting in residential neighborhoods of urban and semiurban areas. Aedes aegypti was mostly present indoor houses compared to Ae. albopictus and Cx. quinquefasciatus. On the contrary, in cemeteries of the urban area, Ae. aegypti was found in lower densities compared to Ae. albopictus and Cx. Quinquefasciatus, which were the most abundant. The identification of these species and the knowledge of their distribution are essential for entomological surveillance in the prevention of outbreaks of vector-borne diseases.
