| Abstract | Herein we report the first recorded arrival of Aedes aegypti on Trindade Island, approximately
1,140 km from the Brazilian coast, posing potential health risks to the human inhabitants thereof. The collection of
mosquitoes was done from August to October 2019 via an active search for adults, eggs, and larvae by surveying
objects with accumulated water and implantation of 23 ovitraps in different regions of the island. As a result, we
collected 33 adults of Ae. aegypti via active search inside buildings. A total of 433 eggs of Ae. aegypti were also
obtained from the ovitraps, all of which subsequently reached the adult stage. No other species of Culicidae was
found. | pt_BR |
