“…Preimaginal stages of Ae. albopictus were mainly detected in coconut shells (54.7%) [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45], bromeliads (19%) [46][47][48][49][50], bamboo stumps (8.3%) [39,40,[51][52][53][54], tree holes (8.2%) [37,42,43,51,[53][54][55][56][57][58][59], palm leaves (3.6%) [51], rock holes (3.2%) [37,42,43,51,53,57,60], leaf axils (1%) [39,40,42,61], and sporadically (<1%) in other natural breeding sites, such as snail shells [43,53], palm bracts [53], dead leaves [37,43], cacao pods on the ground [43], dead cow ...…”

Mosquito-borne arboviruses are increasing due to human disturbances of natural ecosystems and globalization of trade and travel. These anthropic changes may affect mosquito communities by modulating ecological traits that influence the “spill-over” dynamics of zoonotic pathogens, especially at the interface between natural and human environments. Particularly, the global invasion of Aedes albopictus is observed not only across urban and peri-urban settings, but also in newly invaded areas in natural settings. This could foster the interaction of Ae. albopictus with wildlife, including local reservoirs of enzootic arboviruses, with implications for the potential zoonotic transfer of pathogens. To evaluate the potential of Ae. albopictus as a bridge vector of arboviruses between wildlife and humans, we performed a bibliographic search and analysis focusing on three components: (1) The capacity of Ae. albopictus to exploit natural larval breeding sites, (2) the blood-feeding behaviour of Ae. albopictus, and (3) Ae. albopictus’ vector competence for arboviruses. Our analysis confirms the potential of Ae. albopictus as a bridge vector based on its colonization of natural breeding sites in newly invaded areas, its opportunistic feeding behaviour together with the preference for human blood, and the competence to transmit 14 arboviruses.

“…Sin embargo, de forma inusual y en menor cantidad que las otras especies de zancudos en este estudio se detectó la presencia de A. aegypti en bromelias en las localidades de Bucaramanga, Floridablanca y Giron. En este sentido, se observa al igual que en otros estudios como A. aegypti puede estar presente en criaderos diferentes a los artificiales [40][41][42] . Las colectas activas permitieron evidenciar que A. aegypti compartió las bromelias como criadero con Wyeomyia davisi y Toxorhynchites spp.…”

Introduction: Tropical urban areas favor the presence of Aedes aegypti in the American continent. Other mosquitoes can share the same geographic distribution with this mosquito, which justifies that they must be monitored. Objective: It is to know the dynamics of oviposition of A. aegypti, evaluate its gonadotrophic state and determine taxonomically the presence of other culicidae in the metropolitan area of Bucaramanga. Methodology: Oviposition traps (N = 960) were baited with hay infusion (10%) for one year in four locations (Norte, Girón, Piedecuesta and Floridablanca). The ovitraps were kept for five days indoors and outdoors, while larvae were collected in plants such as bromeliads and water reservoirs from each collecting site. In the month of May 2014, were captured with an electric aspirator and traps to catch females of A. aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus to which were estimated their gonadotrophic state. Environmental data such as precipitation and temperature were correlated with the collected eggs and their oviposition indices. Results: 25,254 eggs of A. aegypti were obtained (39.1% Girón, 36.8% Bucaramanga, 15.2% Floridablanca and 8.9% Piedecuesta). In general, oviposition rates were higher outdoors. As for the gonotrophic state, it was detected that females of A. aegypti can have for over two gonadotrophic cycles. In the active catch outdoors were found Culex spp., Culex quinquefasciatus, Limatus durhamii, Toxorhynchites spp and Wyeomyia davisi. Conclusion: A. aegypti was present in all localities and other mosquitoes are reported in the metropolitan area.

“…Some studies point out that these plants are potential breeding grounds for Aedes (Natal et al 1997;Forattini et al 1998;Forattini & Marques 2000;Marques et al 2001;Cunha et al 2002;Ceretti-Junior et al 2016;Wilke et al 2018). On the other hand, some findings indicate that bromeliads are not the preferential foci of synanthropic mosquitoes, as is the case with A. aegypti (Ospina-Batista et al 2008;Lopez et al 2009;Mocellin 2010;Santos et al 2011;Oliveira & Almeida-Neto 2017). The authors emphasize that bromeliads form a complex scenario, in which their importance in mosquito reproduction can vary according to the location, habitat, climate, biotic and abiotic characteristics of the phytotelma, and species of vector and bromeliad, in addition to human behavior.…”

Bromeliaceae, has 82 genera and 3,719 species found throughout the Neotropical region, from the southern United States to central Argentina and Chile. These plants are present in environments with different characteristics and have high endemism in the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. Tank bromeliads stand out for their morphology, which forms permanent water-accumulating compartments called phytotelmata, rich in organic detritus and living organisms. Culicidae use phytotelma as a breeding ground, and some species of Wyeomyia are highly dependent on these tanks. Research on the importance of bromeliads as water reservoirs that may favor the reproduction of mosquitoes that carry pathogens are controversial. Some studies indicate that these plants are potential breeding grounds for Aedes, while others suggest that they are not preferential foci for synanthropic mosquitoes, as is the case for A. aegypti. This work aimed at verifying the presence of Aedes and other Culicidae in native bromeliads in natural habitat and under ornamental cultivation in an urban environment, comparing the incidence of larvae in these possible breeding sites and contrasting with the luminosity and accumulated water volumes. Differences in species composition were observed between rural and urban environments. In the rural environment, four species of Culicidae were collected, the most abundant being Wyeomyia galvaoi - 19 specimens, followed by Culex (Microculex) imitator - five specimens, while Aedes aegypti and Toxorhynchites sp 1, were the least abundant, with two individuals each. In the urban environment, five species were found, with greater abundance of Aedes aegypti (461 individuals), followed by Aedes albopictus (45), Toxorhynchites sp. 01 (3), Wyeomyia sp1 (02), and Wyeomyia galvaoi (01) In addition, these phytotelma showed great diversity of other organisms, such as: mites, nematodes, protists, rotifers, ostracods, and insect larvae of the Chironomidae, Syrphidae and Tachinidae families. The study concluded that the incidence of mosquito larvae in native bromeliads is low, and that luminosity and accumulated water volumes can influence the presence of larvae. The authors emphasize that the importance of bromeliads in mosquito reproduction may vary according to several factors.
