چکیده
Sr. Editor. En el Perú, Ae. aegypti se encuentra distribuido principalmente en la región selvática y en la costa norte, llegando hasta la región Lima (1), no se conoce ciudades o localidades al sur de Lima que puedan estar infestadas con este vector. La influencia del clima y las variables medioambientales como las bajas temperaturas y poca precipitación pluvial son consideradas como factores que retardarían la introducción y posterior establecimiento de Ae. aegypti en algunas regiones, como es el caso de la sierra y la costa sur del país, la altitud también puede considerarse como una limitante para la distribución de este vector, pocos estudios reportan la presencia de Ae. aegypti en localidades mayores a 1700 m de altitud.
