Replacement of Aedes aegypti by Aedes albopictus in Mobile, Alabama
Autor(es): Hobbs J H,Hughes E A,Eichold B H
Resumo: Aedes albopictus was first detected in Mobile, AL, in 1987 during a CDC sponsored ovitrap survey in the Historic District. A comparison of ovitrap and larval surveys, done in 1957, 1984, 1987 and 1990, indicates that Ae. albopictus had replaced Aedes aegypti in urban Mobile. Possible explanations of this replacement, including displacement, are discussed.
