Abstract
Background: Aedes aegypti var. queenslandensis, a pale form of Aedes aegypti, is widespread in Asia and adapted to urbanized and warm environments.
Methods: Two BG-Sentinel traps with BG-Lure were deployed in an urban forest fragment between December 19 and 24, 2024, to monitor mosquito vectors.
Results: A total of 191 specimens of Ae. aegypti var. queenslandensis were collected, marking the first record of this variety in Macapá, Amapá.
Conclusions: This finding suggests that the population was introduced via maritime transport and highlights the need to strengthen entomological surveillance and assess potential insecticide resistance in vector control efforts in Macapá.
