AI Article Synopsis
- The study presents the first records of two mosquito species, Aedes tormentor and Culex panocossa, found during vector surveillance in Tamaulipas, Mexico, an area linked to eastern equine encephalitis.
- Aedes tormentor had previously been noted in Central America and other Mexican states but is now confirmed to have its southernmost range in Tamaulipas.
- Tamaulipas is reported to have 82 different mosquito species, ranking fourth in species diversity among 11 states that have undergone detailed mosquito distribution studies.
Article Abstract
We report the 1st records of Aedes tormentor and Culex panocossa throughout vector surveillance events carried out in putative foci of eastern equine encephalitis in Tamaulipas, Mexico. Formerly, Ae. tormentor had been reported in, at least, 2 Central American countries and Mexico. In Mexico, reports were from the states of Campeche, Chiapas, Quintana Roo, and Veracruz. Records of Ae. tormentor in these 4 Neotropical states were recently reviewed and eliminated; thus, the southernmost geographic distribution for this species is considered to be the state of Tamaulipas Mexico in its neotropical zone. Further, Cx. panocossa had been collected in Guerrero, Tabasco, and Veracruz. In Tamaulipas, there are 82 species of mosquitoes, being the 4th state accounting for the highest mosquito species diversity of 11 states in which comprehensive studies have been conducted on the subject of mosquito distribution.
