title: First Record of Aedes stimulans from Louisiana.
abstract: The first confirmed collection of Aedes stimulans in Louisiana was made in St. Tammany Parish, LA. A single adult female was collected by a large-bore aspirator in March 2011, and identified by microscopic and molecular methods. Notes are provided on the morphology, location, habitat, and potential mosquito associates that may be found with Ae. stimulans.
