Observation reveals Aedes dorsalis as a potential arbovirus vector in Mexico City, indicating heightened disease risk.
In recent years, an increase in mosquito presence has been reported in Mexico City. This study presents the first record of Aedes ( Ochlerotatus ) dorsalis in Mexico City as well as in the central region of the country. This finding is relevant due to the potential role of this species as a vector of arboviruses. The region where this mosquito was found includes a wide diversity of native, domestic, and migratory fauna, which enhances the risk of epizootic and zoonotic diseases.
