“…This mosquito species is a vector of three important viral diseases-yellow fever, chikungunya, dengue (Morrison et al, 2008) and Zika virus (Marcondes & Ximenes, 2016). This latter disease causes more human morbidity and kills more people than any other mosquitoborne diseases globally (Farrar et al, 2007) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) rated dengue as the most important mosquitoborne viral disease in the world (WHO, 2013). No vaccines (Sabchareon et al, 2012) or specific therapeutic agents have yet been made available for dengue, and prevention is currently limited to vector control measures (WHO, 2014).…”

Body size is a physical factor of crucial importance underlying important traits of the reproductive dynamics of both sexes in mosquitoes. Most studies on the influence of body size in mating success of dengue vectors addressed sperm transfer to females and did not consider egg production, a prerequisite for population maintenance; male body size impact on reproduction has attracted little research interest with respect to sterile insect technique. In experiments involving differently sized adults, we examined whether the body size of the mates is a source of variation in reproductive outcome in Aedes aegypti. In the absence of male partners, large females (LF) showed better fecundity than small females (SF). In intraclass mating trials, egg production was much greater in largesized than smallsized pairs. There were comparable fecundities in large females mated with small males and large pairs. [SF•SM] and [SF•LM] pairs showed equivalent fecundity. Nonmating did not result in the production of viable eggs by either small or large females. We also observed that eggs produced by largesized females mated with small males had better hatching success than those from either small or large pairs. Mating between small females and large males resulted in poor egg viability.

“…1,2 This day-biting mosquito has a close association with the urban environment, 3,4 almost exclusively feeding on human hosts 5,6 and breeding in artificial containers found in the domestic setting (i.e., pot plant bases, tires, roof gutters, etc.). 7 Aedes aegypti regularly take multiple blood meals, often from different humans, to complete their gonotrophic cycle.…”

Abstract. The impact of a sustained release metofluthrin emanator and an allethrin-based mosquito coil on biting, movement and mortality of female Aedes aegypti was assessed in an apartment. In the room in which the metofluthrin emanator was activated, mosquito biting counts were reduced to zero. Metofluthrin also had a spillover effect, significantly ( P < 0.001) reducing biting counts in a neighboring room 1, 4, and 24 hours after the emanator was activated when compared with either the coil or control (untreated) treatment. Mosquitoes were neither repelled nor expelled from a room exposed to metofluthrin. Indeed, a significantly ( P = 0.023) greater proportion of mosquitoes were found in the treated room after exposure to metofluthrin when compared with either the coil or control treatment. Furthermore, in the room treated with metofluthrin the majority of mosquitoes died and a spillover effect into the neighboring room caused greater than one-third mortality of the mosquitoes. Metofluthrin could be used to prevent dengue transmission within a household.

“…En este sentido, es fundamental el análisis de dichos comportamientos de almacenamiento de agua en relación a la ecología humana y del mosquito, con el fin de generar estrategias de intervención comunitaria para el control del dengue mucho más efectivas (Elder y Lloyd, 2007;Farrar et al, 2007).…”

“…Los aspectos de carácter institucional también conforman macro factores, dado que los fracasos en los esquemas de erradicación y control del vector y el rápido deterioro de la infraestructura de salud pública facilita el aumento de las poblaciones de A. aegypti (Gubler, 2002;Kay y Sinh Nam, 2005). Por otra parte, los micro factores dependen de las características biológicas del virus, el vector y la persona afectada (Farrar et al, 2007), así como aspectos relacionados con el comportamiento humano, el cual está dado por una relación interdependiente entre el individuo y su entorno socio-cultural y físico.…”

<p>El presente artículo expone resultados obtenidos en la investigación sobre los predictores del comportamiento que motivan el almacenamiento de agua en barrios endémicos de las ciudades de Barranquilla, Bucaramanga y Armenia (Colombia). A través de un monitoreo de almacenamiento, suministro de agua y tipo y mantenimiento de recipientes en casas centinela, así como de la implementación de un cuestionario sobre la adaptación de hogares al suministro de agua, se determinaron los factores sociales y ambientales que intervienen en el comportamiento humano, especialmente, en lo relacionado con el almacenamiento de agua. Dentro de las principales motivaciones para dicho almacenamiento se encontraron las interrupciones periódicas del suministro de agua y la necesidad de reducción de costos del servicio. A partir de estos hallazgos se evidencia la pertinencia de desarrollar estrategias multisectoriales, que incluyan una fase de sensibilización sobre la necesidad de generar prácticas apropiadas y seguras de almacenamiento, a fin de reducir el riesgo de producción del vector del dengue al interior de los hogares.</p>
