“…In this case, most lepidopterism episodes should be attributed to contact with the true setae that are released in large quantities in anthropogenic environments, especially when the moths are flying abundantly towards light (i.e. Gusmão et al 1961, Mascarenhas et al 1980, Glasser et al 1993, Salomon et al 2005, Iserhard et al 2007, Moreira et al 2007, Polar et al 2010. Because the modified setae are heavier and do not easily stand out from females abdomens, their participation as a lepidopterism agent is restricted to events in which patients come in contact with egg masses during manual disinfection of trees (Casalá et al 1967).…”

“…Epidemic outbreaks of dermatitis have been reported in Mexico, Venezuela, Guyana, Peru, Argentina, and in some Brazilian states such as Amapá, Bahia, Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul. However, there are very few publications that deal with this phenomenon (Gusmão et al 1961, Mascarenhas et al 1980, Glasser et al 1993, Iserhard et al 2007, Moreira et al 2007. Battisti et al (2011) classified the "urticating hairs" of arthropods into three categories: true setae, modified setae and spines.…”

“…51 The genus Hylesia comprises about 110 species and is found from Mexico southward throughout South America. 5,53,54 Female moths (Fig 19) of many species bear hollow abdominal setae 5,12,55,56 and J AM ACAD DERMATOL VOLUME 62,NUMBER 1 contact with the setae on adult moths or setae deposited on egg masses causes pruritic papulourticarial or vesicular eruptions (Fig 20). In Venezuela, where the moths are called palometa peluda (the little hairy pigeon), 56 the rash is called Caripito itch, named after the port city of Caripito, where numerous outbreaks have been documented.…”

“…For outbreaks or infestations, the manual removal of egg or caterpillar nests or the use of pesticides may be warranted. 53,56,[64][65][66]71,79,[121][122][123] Outdoor lighting should be turned off in areas where Hylesia moths may congregate. 53 For those working with Lepidoptera, rearing of caterpillars should be done in a separate room with adequate ventilation and good sanitation.…”

“…This light trap is effective for collecting moths of this group as demonstrated in the collection of Hylesia nigricans Berg (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil (Iserhard et al 2007). These traps were installed 1 d after collecting the larvae and pupae in the field and were maintained until the number of adults collected fell below the damage level determined by the Copener Florestal Ltda.…”
