Aedes vittatus, an invasive mosquito competent for multiple arboviruses, has expanded far beyond its historical range. We report its first detection and urban establishment in mainland Americas, in Merida, Mexico. This underscores the urgent need to strengthen surveillance, risk assessment, and preparedness against invasive Aedes species across the region.
