Abstract: Human intervention in the Brazilian Amazon region promotes contacts between humans and vectors that may favor the propagation of anopheline mosquitoes and the spread of malaria in the absence of planning and infrastructure to control this disease. Vector ecology studies were carried out to determine the risk areas. These data should help in designing appropriate malaria control measures. Data from 14 different regions are reported. Vectors are able to adapt to different environments, which made it necessary to… Show more

“…10 However, mosquitoes collected from the central Amazonian region have been mainly zoophagic and exophilic. 7 In the present study and in the study of Scarpassa and others, 27 samples from these two regions had no shared haplotypes and were recognized as distinct lineages by Conn and others, 26 which could indicate a barrier to gene flow. If this suggestion is correct, this finding may explain distinct behavioral patterns of these mosquitoes.…”

“…from Amazonian Brazil seems not to sustain malaria transmission or to be incapable of causing malaria outbreaks in the absence of the primary vector Anopheles darlingi Root. 7,11 Approximately half of the anopheline vector species belong to sibling/cryptic species complexes. 12 The presence of complexes can cause heterogeneous patterns of malaria transmission, sometimes resulting in reduced vector control effectiveness or even in failure.…”

“…Nevertheless, low biting densities (5-10 bites/person/ night) seem to be characteristic of An. darlingi throughout its range of distribution (Roberts et al 1987, Tadei et al 1998, Soares et al 2003, Brochero et al 2005, Vittor et al 2006). There are reports in Venezuela of biting rates that varied from 5.8-1,265 An.…”

“…Além disso, foram utilizadas informações etnográficas, coletadas de 1985 a 1995 (Castro et al, 2006a (DEANE, 1947;COVA-GARCIA, 1961; VAN THIEL, 1962;TADEI et al, 1998). O segundo diz respeito às características físicas dos lotes em Machadinho (desenho irregular e tamanho médio) e suas implicações na definição da área de vizinhança no entorno de cada lote (CASTRO et al, 2006b).…”
