Observações preliminares sobre a transmissão de oncocercose no rio Toototobi, Amazonas, Brasil

Abstract: Resumo Em dezembro de 1975 os autores estudaram vários fatores que influenciam a transmissão de Onchocerca volvulus ao norte do Amazonas, no rio Toototobi. Observaram que a densidade de microfilarias de O. volvulus era maior no tronco do que nos membros de dois índios Yanomama examinados. Foram capturados três espécies antropófilas de Simuliidae, provisoriamente denominados Simulium sp. A, S.sp. B e S.sp. C. A primeira espécie foi coletada em grande número no começo da tarde, atacando o homem. O encontro de la… Show more

“…In Brazil, Rassi et al (1975) considered what they called S. amazonicum (Goeldi, Lutz, 1910 and1917) to be the vector in the Toototobi region, basing this assumption on sausage stage filarial larvae found in this species and the absence of Mansonella ozzardi in the Indians examined. Jamnback (1976) and Shelley et al (1976) disputed this conclusion since there is no reliable way of identifying sausage stage larvae and thus, no firm relationship between O. volvulus and S. amazonicum was demonstrated. The latter authors noted the lack of information on the host preference of this blackfly as well as the possible occurrence of filariae in other animals in the area.…”

“…At the same time they questioned the determination of the blackfly species. Shelley et al (1976) found three species of anthropophilic blackflies at Toototobi provisionally referring to them as Simulium sp. A {amazonicum of Rassi et ah, 1975), sp.…”
