Abstract
Objective of the study was to investigate the current borders of the invasive species Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus distribution in the south of the Krasnodar Region and climatic factors limiting their expansion. Material and methods. Mosquito larvae, pupa and imago were collected in 21 inhabited localities in August–September, 2017, using conventional entomological methods, and identified through standard morphological keys. Climatic data found on the website pogoda. ru were analyzed using SPSS program. Results and conclusions. Ae. albopictus is widely spread along the Black Sea coast, from Adler to Novorossiysk (Ozereyevka), as well as on the north slopes of Caucasus up to Maikop. Additional investigations are required to specify the northern border of species distribution and to evidence the existence of established populations here. Ae. aegypti were not found in the south of the Krasnodar Region. The obtained data suggest a possibility of much wider spreading of dengue, Chikungunya and Zika fevers in case of pathogen importation to the south of Krasnodar Region, than was assumed earlier.
