RESUMO ABSTRACT Introduction:The objectives for this study were to measure the diversity of Culicidae species, describe their abundance and seasonal variation in São José do Rio Preto, SP, and discuss the risk of arbovirus infections. Methods: The collection of larval and adult mosquitoes was conducted monthly from 2006 to 2007 in an urban area and four sections of forested land. In the urban area, larvae were collected from sites where oviposition by Culex mosquitoes was most likely to occur. At two of the four sites in the forested land, adult mosquitoes were collected with the use of CDC traps at night, and a Nasci aspirator was used in the daytime at the two other collection sites. Results: In the urban area, 34 Culicidae species were identified out of a total sample of 8,683 specimens; of these specimens, 80.7% were Culex quinquefasciatus, 9.6% were Culex coronator, 3.2% were Aedes albopictus, and 1.1% were Ochlerotatus fluviatilis. The abundance of Cx. quinquefasciatus larvae was negatively related to rainfal. In the woods, 2,268 mosquitoes were collected, representing 10 genera and 46 species. The most abundant mosquito species were Aedeomyia squamipennis, Culex coronator, Culex (Mel.) Melanoconion section, Culex declarator, Ochlerotatus scapularis, Anopheles triannulatus, Culex bidens/interfor and Culex habilitator/pseudojhantinosoma. Conclusions: The abundance of Cx. quinquefasciatus in the urban area and the presence of other Culicidae species in urban areas and forested land point to the possibility of the transmission of West Nile virus and other arbovirus infections in São José do Rio Preto and other cities. Thus, the enacting of measures aimed at the surveillance of these arbovirus infections is essential.
A partir da criação de um Grupo de Trabalho multidisciplinar para a elaboração dos documentos institucionais normativos “Plano de Preservação Digital” e “Manual de Digitalização” voltados para a implementação de ações referentes à preservação digital nos acervos científicos e culturais da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz), observou-se a necessidade de se estabelecer padrões mínimos de metadados descritivos, para integrar e dinamizar o acesso aos distintos objetos digitais que representam os acervos arquivístico, bibliográfico, museológico e de coleções biológicas que compõem o patrimônio da instituição. Considerando o caráter histórico (alguns datam do século XVIII), probatório, informativo e a função científica e cultural desses objetos, serão fixados também metadados específicos voltados ao apoio tanto de sua preservação a longo prazo quanto dos próprios metadados descritivos atribuídos a eles. Cabe ressaltar que, embora sejam tratados distintos objetos (peças museais, itens bibliográficos, documentos arquivísticos e acervos biológicos). A proposta desta comunicação será apresentar a metodologia aplicada para a definição dos metadados integrativos baseados no uso do padrão Dublin Core (DC) e para a definição dos metadados de preservação a longo prazo, fundamentado no Preservation Metadata: Implementation Strategies (PREMIS), de acordo com as premissas de autenticidade, confiabilidade e acessibilidade.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
