**5. Conclusion**

In the South region of the country, the hatching of eggs and emergence of adults of *A. aegypti* only did not occur at 45°C, while the lowest rate of hatching and emergence occurred at 0°C, indicating that the development of the mosquitoes in Londrina is affected only in very extreme temperatures, since the temperature of 5°C still proved beneficial to the development of *A. aegypti*. In the North region of the country, the development of the immature in Manaus is faster as the temperature in the environmental rooms increases; however, at the same time, death rates also increase.

Therefore, it is concluded that temperatures from 5 to 29.74°C are more appropriate, since values outside these limits can cause deleterious effects in biological aspects related to the reproductive success of the species. Thus, temperature has a great influence on these aspects, with medium temperatures being more beneficial to this species.

The results obtained show that both *A. aegypti* mosquitoes from the South and North regions of Brazil have adaptive potential in face of the increase in the average temperature stipulated by the IPCC, in view of the unviability of eggs only at
