This is the 1st report of the occurrence of Aedes albopictus in Trinidad, West Indies. Eggs collected in 2 ovitraps, 1 in November and 1 in December 2002, were hatched and reared to adults at the Insect Vector Control Division laboratory. Three female Ae. albopictus emerged, whereas 6 females were collected by human-bait collections. The implications of these findings are discussed.
