Spatial and Temporal Distribution of and Oviposition on the Coast of Paraná, Brazil, a Recent Area of Dengue Virus Transmission.

and are considered the most important vectors of arboviruses in the world. is the primary vector of dengue, urban yellow fever, chikungunya and zika in Brazil, and is considered a potential vector. Distribution patterns and the influence of climatic variables on the oviposition of and were evaluated in Morretes, a tourist city in the coastal area of Paraná State, Brazil, which has recently been experiencing cases of dengue fever. Eggs were collected using ovitraps over a period of one year (September 2017 to September 2018) and reared from hatching until the emergence of the adults. Both species were found in anthropized areas with a high human density index. Findings suggest that the monthly average temperature (LRT = 16.65, = 0.001) had significant positive influences on the oviposition of the species. Considering the wide distribution of DENV around the Paraná coast and the presence of alongside , studies on natural arbovirus infection patterns and seasonality are recommended in the region.
