Surtos epidêmicos de dermatite causada por mariposas do gênero Hylesia (Lepidóptera: Hemileucidae) no Estado de São Paulo, Brasil

Abstract: Surtos epidêmicos de dermatite causada por Hylesia sp foram assinalados no litoral do Estado de São Paulo, no período de dezembro de 1989 a dezembro de 1991. O fenômeno assumiu sua maior intensidade em Bertioga, Município de Santos, onde foram registrados 612 casos. Foram atingidos outros 12 municípios da região, estimando-se que algumas centenas de casos procuraram os serviços de saúde locais. Na maioria dos casos verificou-se lesões eritemato-pápulo-pruriginosas, que regrediram em média de 7 a 14 dias. Para … Show more

“…with respect to characteristics of the genus Hylesia population dynamics, a similar situation was registered for the Distrito de Bertioga, the Baixada Santista and the vale do Ribeira, in which a first year of a strong outbreak affecting nine municipalities was followed by a much less intense infestation on the second year (Glasser et al 1993).…”

“…These elements are very attractive to this species and coincide with its nocturnal activity period (Fornés & Hernández 2000). In a study by Glasser et al (1993), these aspects are corroborated: in epidemic outbreaks in the Vale da Ribeira and in the Baixada Santista, in São Paulo State, the vegetation of affected urban areas was important for these moths, and a high density of these insects was recorded close to buildings with permanent lighting and light-colored walls.…”

“…Similarly, Hylesia nigricans (Berg, 1982) in Argentina was treated as the cause of a labor disease due to the fact that the abdominal hair that covered the eggs during the egg laying period caused dermatitis to the people that cleaned fructiferous plants (Casalá et al, 1967). In Brazil, dermatitis epidemic outbreaks caused by Hylesia paulex Dognin, 1922 were reported from 1989 to 1991 in São Paulo (Cardoso et al, 1990;Glasser et al, 1993).…”

“…This caused many reports of dermatitis outbreaks in Brazil to be notified without the due specific identification (Gusmão et al, 1961;Mascarenhas et al, 1980, Domingos et al, 1992Glasser et al, 1993). As well as this identification difficulty, there is a significant gap concerning biology which is restricted to five species (Lemaire, 2002); in Brazil, the knowledge concerning Hylesia nanus (Walker, 1855) should be mentioned (Santos et al, 1988(Santos et al, , 1996.…”
