This study aimed to assess the dry season quiescent Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus egg populations in houses and backyards in Tapachula, southern Mexico. Two hundred and fifty ovitraps were placed in 125 homes in the Las Americas neighborhood. A total of 7290 eggs were collected from 211 (84.4%) ovitraps. Only 5667 (77.7%) hatched under insectary water immersion and food supply conditions, with 4031 (71.1%) identified as Ae. aegypti, and 1636 (28.8%) as Ae. albopictus, respectively. The remaining 1623 (22.3%) did not hatch due to Delayed Hatching and\/or quiescence tropical stage. Eighty-three larval containers were sampled with desiccated eggs during the dry season; most of them were described as trash waste because larvicides are only used for larger containers of 5\u201310 L. Evolutionary characteristics for the two species including partial egg hatching, ambient-regulated quiescence, the ability of the embryo to survive for a more extended period intra-seasonally, the egg sticking to inner container walls, demands urgent operational research to achieve successful egg-proof larval container methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/insects15100798","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,16]],"date-time":"2024-10-16T10:11:04Z","timestamp":1729073464000},"page":"798","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The Field Assessment of Quiescent Egg Populations of Aedes\u00a0aegypti and Aedes albopictus during the Dry Season in Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico, and Its Potential Impact on Vector Control Strategies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Ignacio","family":"Navarro-Kraul","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratorio de Entomolog\u00eda M\u00e9dica, Facultad de Ciencias Biol\u00f3gicas, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Monterrey 66450, Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Mexico"},{"name":"Instituto Nacional de Salud P\u00fablica, Centro Regional de Investigaci\u00f3n en Salud P\u00fablica, Cuernavaca 62100, Morelos, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luis Alberto Cisneros","family":"V\u00e1zquez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Nacional de Salud P\u00fablica, Centro Regional de Investigaci\u00f3n en Salud P\u00fablica, Cuernavaca 62100, Morelos, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keila Elizabeth","family":"Paiz-Moscoso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratorio de Entomolog\u00eda M\u00e9dica, Facultad de Ciencias Biol\u00f3gicas, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Monterrey 66450, Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Mexico"},{"name":"Instituto Nacional de Salud P\u00fablica, Centro Regional de Investigaci\u00f3n en Salud P\u00fablica, Cuernavaca 62100, Morelos, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rogelio","family":"Danis-Lozano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Nacional de Salud P\u00fablica, Centro Regional de Investigaci\u00f3n en Salud P\u00fablica, Cuernavaca 62100, Morelos, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jes\u00fas A","family":"D\u00e1vila-Barboza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratorio de Entomolog\u00eda M\u00e9dica, Facultad de Ciencias Biol\u00f3gicas, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Monterrey 66450, Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Beatriz","family":"Lopez-Monroy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratorio de Entomolog\u00eda M\u00e9dica, Facultad de Ciencias Biol\u00f3gicas, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Monterrey 66450, Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rosa Mar\u00eda","family":"S\u00e1nchez-Casas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinaria y Zootecnia, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, General Escobedo 66050, Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marco Antonio","family":"Dom\u00ednguez-Galera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tecnol\u00f3gico Nacional de M\u00e9xico, Campus Chetumal, Chetumal 77013, Quintana Roo, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pedro Christian","family":"Mis-Avila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tecnol\u00f3gico Nacional de M\u00e9xico, Campus Chetumal, Chetumal 77013, Quintana Roo, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ildefonso","family":"Fernandez-Salas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratorio de Entomolog\u00eda M\u00e9dica, Facultad de Ciencias Biol\u00f3gicas, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Monterrey 66450, Nuevo Le\u00f3n, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Pan American Health Organization (OPS) (2024, January 01).
