Reintroduction of the invasive mosquito Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Culicidae) in northern Chile

Historically, Aedes aegypti (L.) was present in northern Chile between the cities of Arica (18°28'S/70°18'W) and Caldera (27°03'S/70°49'W). It was eradicated from northern Chile in the 1950s by the use of DDT. In April 2016, Aedes aegypti (L.) was once again detected in northern...
