dc.descriptionIntroduction: Aedes albopictus was fi rst detected in Brazil in 1986. This mosquito species presents a major threat to public health because Brazilian populations have shown substantial vector competence for arboviruses such as dengue and chikungunya. Methods: We updated the records of Ae. albopictus in several States of Brazil, focusing on areas in which its presence had been reported after 2002. Results: Twenty-eight years after its arrival in Brazil, Ae. albopictus has been detected in 24 of 27 States. Conclusions: The rapid spread of this species and its high vector competence demonstrate the danger of Ae. albopictus in Brazil.
