A presenca de Aedes albopictus (Skuse) em area urbana representa um risco potencial do inter-relacionamento dessa especie de mosquito com a populacao. Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar as formas imaturas de Ae. albopictus encontradas nos depositos e imoveis do municipio de Miguel Pereira. O estudo foi realizado no periodo de 12 meses, ano de 2007, em 27 locais do municipio de Miguel Pereira, Estado do Rio de Janeiro. As larvas encontradas foram identificadas em laboratorio e a analise dos dados foi calculada pelos indices de infestacao predial e indice de Breteau. Os tipos de imoveis positivos foram residencias (79,44% do total); terrenos baldios (2,56%); comercios (2,56%) e outros tipos de imoveis (15,04%) para Ae. albopictus , e residencias (72,72% do total); comercios (6,06%); terrenos baldios (3,03%); e outros tipos de imoveis (18,18%) para Aedes aegypti (L.). Das 3731 larvas, 3562 (95,5%) eram de Ae. albopictus e 169 (4,5%) de Ae. aegypti. O mosquito Ae. albopictus mostrou-se mais presente nos criadouros que Ae. aegypti. A media do indice de infestacao predial (IFP) e indice de Breteau (IB) para Ae. albopictus foi 1,0 e 1,9 e para Ae. aegypti de 0,1 e 0,1, respectivamente. As formas imaturas mais abundantemente encontradas no Municipio de Miguel Pereira no ano de 2007 foram de Ae. albopictus podendo futuramente se tornar um problema de saude publica. Incidence of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) Immature Form in Miguel Pereira, RJ, Brazil. Abstract. The presence of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) in urban areas represents a potential risk of inter-relationship of this species of mosquito with the population. This study aimed to evaluate the presence of the Ae. albopictus immature forms in deposits and building at Miguel Pereira city, Rio de Janeiro State. The study was carried in the last 12 months, 2007, in 27 locations in Miguel Pereira city. The larvae were identified in laboratory and data analysis was calculated by indicators of building infestation index and the Breteau index. The positive buildings were: residential (79.44% of total); waste land (2.56%), shopping (2.56%) and other types of buildings (15.04%) to Ae. albopictus , and homes (72.72% of total), shopping (6.06%); waste land (3.03%) and other types of buildings (18.18%) to Ae. aegypti (L.). The larvae (3731) collected, 3562 (95.5%) were Ae. albopictus and 169 (4.5%) were Ae. aegypti. The Ae. albopictus are more present in breeding that Ae. aegypti . The average rate of building infestation index (IFP) and Breteau index (IB) for Ae. albopictus was 1.0 and 1.9 and for Ae. aegypti was 0.1 and 0.1, respectively. The Ae. albopictus immature larvae forms were more abundantly found in the Miguel Pereira city in 2007; in future it may become a public health problem.
