Phylogenetic analysis clustered the sequence from mosquitoes collected in Mexico with Caribbean mosquito lineages, suggesting species introduction via the Caribbean. Given its arbovirus competence, urgent inclusion of the Ae. vittatus mosquito in surveillance programs is warranted.Emerging infectious diseases2177-2179https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC12704530biostudies-literatureDetection of Aedes (Fredwardsius) vittatus Mosquitoes, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, 2025.PMC12704530Chan-Chable RJIbarra-Cerdena CNRodriguez-Luna CREspinal-Palomino RfalseDetection of Aedes (Fredwardsius) vittatus Mosquitoes, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, 2025.We report detection of Aedes (Fredwardsius) vittatus mosquitoes in continental North America, in Yucatán, Mexico.
