Abstract

The first record of Aedes albopictus in the State of Pará, in the Brazilian Amazon, was carried out in 2003. The present study aimed to describe the Culicidae fauna and the abundance of Ae. albopictus in four areas with different degrees of anthropization, in the city of Belém-PA. For this, larvae were collected in natural breeding sites, proving that Ae. albopictus corresponded to 63.4% of the mosquitoes collected, being the predominant species in areas with the highest degree of anthropization. We also identified two haplotypes derived from partial sequences of the COI gene of 16 mosquitoes from the area with the greatest degree of anthropology, which are grouped with specimens from tropical and temperate countries, respectively. Our results demonstrate the adaptation of Ae. albopictus to urban areas of the Amazon region.
