520 |a <p>Background: This work aims to describe the finding of Aedes albopictus in an intra- and peridomiciliary area of the rural area in the south-central region of Ceará and discuss the need for entomological surveillance of this species in the country. </p><p>Method: Through traps installed in an intra- and peridomiciliary environment and artificial breeding grounds, eggs and larvae of Ae. albopictus were captured in a rural area of the state of Ceará. </p><p>Results: This is the first record of Ae. albopictus in the south-central region of the state of Ceará. We collected 418 eggs and 252 larvae from Ae. albopictus, being 85% of eggs in the peridomiciliary area, on average 29.41 (± 37.34) eggs per trap. As for larvae, about 70% of them were caught on tires. Only 42 larvae (14,2%) belonged to species other than the genus Aedes, found in tires and an engine. </p><p>Conclusion: The presence of Ae. albopictus in rural areas close to urban areas warns of the need to effectively insert this vector as a surveillance target, carry out an active search, monitor its presence in municipalities, and investigate its involvement with outbreaks in or near areas where they are present.</p>
