Abstract
The entomological surveillance of tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus), vector of diseases, was conducted in the municipalities of Cartagena and La Union for a full year using ovitraps. Vector distribution maps are provided for these municipalities; the mosquito’s expansion compared to 2013 is shown; areas of interest for its persistence over time are identified; the temporal variation of the populations is shown. As conclusion, a series of actions to control this invasive insect are proposed.The articles published in this journal are subject to the following terms and conditions:
