“…declarator, thus resulting in similar alignment scores. This result is in agreement with other studies, which have pointed out limitations of the use of a unique molecular marker to resolve and identify species (Gomes et al, 2003;Alencar et al, 2005;Laporta et al, 2008). Wang et al (2012) were able to successfully identify 122 species and subspecies of Chinese mosquitoes with a COI barcode approach.…”

“…quinquefasciatus mosquitoes, which have high anthropophilic feeding rates (Samuel et al, 2004), studies have demonstrated that Cx. nigripalpus have an opportunistic feeding behavior, with a variety of hosts, including amphibian, bird, mammal, and reptilian (Gomes et al, 2003;Alencar et al, 2005;Laporta et al, 2008).…”

An unsettling explanation for the failure of skatole‐baited ovitraps to capture Culex mosquitoes

et al. 2018

Culex mosquitoes are primarily found in temperate and tropical regions worldwide where they play a crucial role as main vectors of filarial worms and arboviruses. In Recife, a northeast city in Brazil, high densities of Culex quinquefasciatus are often found in association with human populated areas. In marked contrast to another part of the city, field tests conducted in the neighborhood of Sítio dos Pintos showed that trapping of mosquitoes in skatole-baited ovitraps did not differ significantly from captures in control (water) traps. Thus, classical and molecular taxonomic approaches were used to analyze the Culex species circulating in Sítio dos Pintos. Results obtained from both approaches agreed on the cocirculation of Culex quinquefasciatus and Culex nigripalpus in three different areas of this neighborhood. What was initially considered as an unexpected failure of this lure turned out to be a more unsettling problem, that is, the first report in Recife of Culex nigripalpus, a vector of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus and West Nile virus. Unplanned urbanization processes close to remnants of the Atlantic forest, such as observed in Sítio dos Pintos, may have contributed to the introduction of Cx. nigripalpus in urban areas.

“…nigripalpus has an ornitophilic behavior (Guimarães et al 1987, Consoli & Lourenço-de-Oliveira 1994, Forattini 2002. In this context, the mosquito has a potential for transmission of some arboviruses, even if we consider its low anthropophily (Laporta et al 2008, Cardoso et al 2011.…”

Fauna of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Goytacazes National Forest and surrounding area, State of Espírito Santo, Southeastern Brazil

et al. 2018

Mosquitoes comprehend a group with a major impact on public health, because some species transmit parasites vertebrate hosts. Comparative studies between preserved environment and disturbed areas provide important epidemiological information, due to the major knowledge on species populational dynamics and the possibility of a contact between vector species and human population. This work aims to characterize and compare the fauna of mosquitoes in the Goytacazes National Forest (GNF) and surrounding area, in the State of Espírito Santo, in Brazil. Collections occurred simultaneously in a preserved environment and in a peridomicile, from 15:00 to 18:00, between July 2008 and May 2009. In each environment, it was used a modified trap of Shannon type. As a result, 1,490 specimens from 14 genera and 19 identified species were collected. The species diversity (H = 1.95), species richness (S = 17), equitability index (J = 0.68) and the number of collected specimens (n = 1,100) were higher in the forest environment. The plentiful species were respectively Aedes (Ochlerotatus) scapularis (Rondani, 1848), Culex (Culex) nigripalpus Theobald, 1901 and Aedes (Ochlerotatus) fulvus (Wiedemann, 1828). Our results demonstrate that the occurrence of vector species in this region increases the potential risk of diverse arboviruses occurrence, especially wild-type yellow fever.
