Focusing on an entomological study conducted in 2019 along the Algerian far west coast, the research aimed to identify the presence of the Aedes albopictus mosquito. The study surveyed eleven sites, revealing five mosquito species predominantly from the Culicinae subfamily, with Culiseta longiareolata being the most prevalent at 69%. The findings indicate a low diversity and abundance of species, with none linked to significant disease transmission, and notably, the tiger mosquito was not found in the region.
