“…Finding this species in Orán region, and particularly in urban environments, is interesting for many reasons. On the one hand, the species has been collected in essentially sylvatic biotopes (Guimarães et al , 2003; Cardoso et al , 2005; D'Oria et al , 2010) and in forest patches within urban settings (Reis et al , 2010), suggesting that it was mostly restricted to the forest habitat. The fact that larvae and pupae were collected from water-holding tree holes, both in the urban and suburban environments, suggests that in Orán immature stages of Sa.…”

Water-holding tree holes are main larval habitats for many pathogen vectors, especially mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae). Along 3 years, the diversity and composition of mosquito species in tree holes of two neighbouring but completely different environments, a city and its adjacent forest, were compared using generalized linear mixed models, PERMANOVA, SIMPER and species association indexes. The city area (Northwest Argentina) is highly relevant epidemiologically due to the presence of Aedes aegypti L. (main dengue vector) and occurrence of dengue outbreaks; the Yungas rainforests are highly biologically diverse. In total seven mosquito species were recorded, in descending order of abundance: Ae. aegypti, Haemagogus spegazzinii Brèthes, Sabethes purpureus (Theobald), Toxorhynchites guadeloupensis Dyar and Knab, Aedes terrens Walker, Haemagogus leucocelaenus Dyar & Shannon and Sabethes petrocchiae (Shannon and Del Ponte). The seven mosquito species were recorded in both city sites and forested areas; however, their mosquito communities significantly diverged because of marked differences in the frequency and relative abundance of some species: Tx. guadeloupensis and Ae. aegypti were significantly more abundant in forest and urban areas, respectively. Positive significant associations were detected between Ae. aegypti, Hg. spegazzinii and Hg. leucocelaenus. The combined presence of Ae. aegypti, Haemagogus and Sabethes in the area also highlight a potential risk of yellow fever epidemics. Overall results show an impoverished tree hole mosquito fauna in urban environments, reflecting negative effects of urbanization on mosquito diversity.

“…Different studies about population dynamics done in Rio Grande do Sul Brazil show small populations of mosquitoes of the genera Haemagogus and Sabethes, probably because of environmental degradation (Paterno and Marcondes 2004;Castro Gomez et al 2009Reis et al 2010).…”

Yellow fever (YF) is a viral hemorrhagic fever endemic to tropical regions of South America and Africa. From 2007 to 2009 an important epidemic/epizootic of YF was detected in different populations of howler monkeys (Alouatta species) in Misiones, a northeastern Argentinian province. Yellow fever virus (YFV) infection was researched and documented by laboratory tests in humans and in dead Alouatta carayá. The objective of that research was to investigate the circulation of YFV in mosquitoes, which could be implicated in the sylvatic transmission of YF in Argentina. The above-mentioned mosquitoes were captured in the same geographical region where the epizootic took place. A YFV strain was isolated in cell culture from pools of Sabethes albiprivus. This study is not only the first isolation of YFV from mosquitoes in Argentina, but it is also the first YFV isolation reported in the species Sabethes albiprivus, suggesting that this species might be playing a key role in sylvatic YF in Argentina.

“…Collections started at 1:00 p.m. and each site was sampled for 15 minutes, totaling 45 minutes. Blood-seeking mosquitoes were collected at the moment they landed on a collector, before the insect had the opportunity to bite (Reis et al 2010). Mosquitoes were collected with a manual suction apparatus (Castro catcher) (Silver 2008) and transferred to killing jars.…”
