Studies on entomological monitoring: mosquito species frequency in riverine habitats of the Igarapava Dam, Southern Region, Brazil

“…darlingi was much more abundant in anthropic environments. Although their study was made in a short period they confirmed the vector synanthropy of previous surveys made in the North Region 13,17,18,33 . Anopheles albitarsis s.l.…”

Anopheles darlingi bionomics and transmission of Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium malariae in Amerindian villages of the Upper-Maroni Amazonian forest, French Guiana

“…darlingi reflect local differences in the availability of various types of larval habitats (creeks, strips of flooded forest, river edges and pools in river beds), in relation with both rainfall and river levels. In accordance with Klein & Lima (1990), we think that the effect of rainfall may be immediately apparent or have a lag time, depending on the type of larval habitat, and thus, the variations in adult abundance of An. darlingi are probably affected by a combination of biotic (quality of aquatic vegetation and fauna) and physical factors, such as temperature and humidity.…”

Distribuição sazonal de vetores da malária em Machadinho d'Oeste, Rondônia, Região Amazônica, Brasil

“…Como exemplos, os Municípios de Jarú, Ariquemes e Machadinho d 'Oeste registraram, em 1991, IPA nos valores de 203,7, 499,0 e 798,1, respectivamente (Escobar, 1994. Diante deste panorama, houve desenvolvimento de vários estudos visando ao conhecimento das espécies de mosquitos envolvidas na transmissão da malária na região (Deane et al, 1988;Klein & Lima, 1990;Lourenço-de-Oliveira et al, 1989;Tadei et al, 1988;Tadei et al, 1998). Foram identificadas diferentes espécies de Anopheles como potencialmente vetoras de Plasmodium sp.…”
