  abstract = {{T}he invasive species {A}edes albopictus is present in 60% of {B}razilian municipalities, including at the interfaces between urban settings and forests that are zoonotic arbovirus hotspots. {W}e investigated {A}e. albopictus colonization, adult dispersal and host feeding patterns in the anthropic-natural interface of three forested sites covering three biomes in {B}razil in 2016. {T}o evaluate whether an ecological overlap exists between {A}e. albopictus and sylvatic yellow fever virus ({YFV}) in forests, we performed similar investigations in seven additional urban-forest interfaces where {YFV} circulated in 2017. {W}e found {A}e. albopictus in all forested sites. {W}e detected eggs and adults up to 300 and 500m into the forest, respectively, demonstrating that {A}e. albopictus forest colonization and dispersal decrease with distance from the forest edge. {A}nalysis of the host identity in blood-engorged females indicated that they fed mainly on humans and domestic mammals, suggesting rare contact with wildlife at the forest edge. {O}ur results show that {A}e. albopictus frequency declines as it penetrates into the forest and highlight its potential role as a bridge vector of zoonotic diseases at the},
