Like other <jats:italic>Aedes<\/jats:italic> species, larvae develop in both natural and artificial containers in urban, suburban, and rural areas. In September 2021, an entomological survey was conducted at the National Institute of Health of Pakistan (NIH) and adjacent housing within the NIH colony. All containers with water were examined for <jats:italic>Aedes<\/jats:italic> mosquitoes at 150 locations, including residential properties, a plant nursery, junkyards, and recreational parks and playgrounds. A total of 103 larvae, 37 pupae, 5 female and 2 male <jats:italic>Ae. vittatus<\/jats:italic> were collected from a fountain. This was the first detection of <jats:italic>Ae. vittatus<\/jats:italic> in urban Islamabad. Additional vector surveillance is needed to better understand the geographical distribution, ecology, and behavior of this invasive species and to understand its possible role in the transmission of dengue and chikungunya viruses in Pakistan.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2987\/22-7067","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,20]],"date-time":"2023-03-20T17:03:07Z","timestamp":1679331787000},"page":"219-220","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["First Report of Aedes vittatus in Islamabad, Pakistan"],"prefix":"10.2987","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Aliya","family":"Jabeen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Field Epidemiology and Disease Surveillance Division, National Institute of Health, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jamil A","family":"Ansari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Field Epidemiology and Disease Surveillance Division, National Institute of Health, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aamer","family":"Ikram","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Field Epidemiology and Disease Surveillance Division, National Institute of Health, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mumtaz Ali","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Field Epidemiology and Disease Surveillance Division, National Institute of Health, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1569","reference":[{"year":"2020","unstructured":"CDA [Capital Development Authority].\n          2020.\n\t\t\t\t\tFacts and statistics[Internet].Islamabad, Pakistan: CDA, Government of Pakistan[accessed November 5, 2021].
