At this site, eggs were found throughout the study (2014–2018). Other western and southern municipalities became positive in 2017 and 2018. Ae. albopictus adults were first captured in 2018 by aspiration of the vegetation in an area where eggs had been detected since 2015, suggesting a progressive establishment of a self-sustained population. Incidence of insect bites in humans was roughly constant over the study period except for a significant increase in 2018 in the Health County where eggs had been detected since 2014. Densities of Ae. albopictus eggs in positive areas remained at similar levels over the years. 4) Conclusion: Multiple approaches and standardized methods are necessary to successfully control this vector. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.39 2020 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 41 / 176 = 0.233 2020 Q1 T1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 118 / 273 = 0.432 2020 Q2 T2 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 68 / 203 = 0.335 2020 Q2 T2 0.747 2020 Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis 2020 Q2 Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health 2020 Q2 Pollution 2020 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion González, Mikel A.
