“…In the tropics, water in breeding sites has to rise to a critical level in order to reach the mosquito eggs, which hatch a few days after this contact; therefore, the number of culicid mosquitoes is often directly associated with the amount of rainfall (De Kruijf 1970, Souto 1994, Rocha et al 1997, Guimarães et al 2001, Montes 2005.…”

“…Although various studies have already been carried out in fragments of green areas inside urban Sã o Paulo, the data accumulated from these studies are not comprehensive enough to allow us to claim that all the Culicidae fauna in these areas are known (Urbinatti et al 2001, Taipe-Lagos & Natal 2003, Montes 2005. Comparison of the findings of a preliminary study (Medeiros-Sousa et al 2013) of Carmo Park and Chico Mendes Park with the data from the present study, which found nineteen taxons in Carmo Park, shows that eleven of these taxons had already been recorded and that eight were found here for the first time.…”

“…Furthermore, carrying out an entomological investigation into the species composition of Culicidae mosquitoes in urban parks helps to underline the importance of keeping these areas in anthropic environments by showing the biological richness of these enclaves. A knowledge of the culicid population in these environments helps to identify bioindicator species that can be useful when assessing the quality of the environment (Montes 2005;Anjos & Navarro-Silva 2008). The aim of this study was therefore to investigate Culicidae fauna in two parks on the east side of Sã o Paulo and to determine which of the Culicidae species identified have the potential to act as bioindicators and vectors of human pathogens.…”

Mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) fauna in parks in greater São Paulo, Brazil

Municipal parks in the city of Sã o Paulo, which are used for leisure purposes, contain remnants of the flora of the Atlantic Forest, as well as lakes and springs, and are home to mammals, birds and arthropods, some of which can be vectors of disease. The eastern side of the city has the largest population in Sã o Paulo and twenty-four municipal parks. The aim of this study was to investigate Culicidae fauna in two parks on this side of the city and to determine which of the Culicidae species identified have the potential to act as bioindicators and vectors of human pathogens. Culicidae were collected monthly between March 2011 and February 2012 in Carmo Park and Chico Mendes Park with battery-powered aspirators, Shannon traps and CDC traps for adult mosquitoes, and larval dippers and suction samplers for immature mosquitoes. To confirm sample sufficiency, the EstimateS program was used to plot sample-based species accumulation curves and estimate total richness by the Jackknife 1 method. In all, 1,092 culicids from nine genera (Aedes, Anopheles, Coquillettidia, Culex, Limatus, Mansonia, Trichoprosopon, Toxorhynchites and Uranotaenia) and nineteen taxonomic units were collected in Carmo Park. Coquillettidia venezuelensis (Theobald 1912), Aedes scapularis (Rondani 1848) and Culex (Culex) spp. Linnaeus 1758 were the most abundant adults, and Culex (Melanoconion) spp. Theobald 1903 and Anopheles strodei Root 1926 the most abundant immature mosquitoes. In Chico Mendes Park 4,487 mosquitoes in six genera and eighteen taxonomic units were collected. Culex (Cux.) spp. and Ae. scapularis were the most abundant adults, and Ae. albopictus (Skuse 1984) the most abundant immature mosquitoes. The species accumulation curves in both parks were close to the asymptote, and the total richness estimate was close to the observed richness. Some culicid taxons are bioindicators of environmental conditions in the areas they inhabit. It is important to monitor native fauna in municipal parks in Sã o Paulo as various species in this study were found to have vector competence and capacity to transmit pathogens, such as arboviruses.

Abstract. 1. Detennining large-scale distribution patterns for mosquitoes could advance knowledge of global mosquito biogeography and inform decisions about where mosquito inventory needs are greatest.2. Over 43 000 georeferenced records are presented of identified and vouchered mosquitoes from collections undertaken between 1899 and 1982, from 1853 locations in 42 countries throughout the Neotropics. Of 492 species in the data set, 23% were only recorded from one location, and Anopheles albimanus Wiedemann is the most common species.3. A linear log-log species-area relationship was found for mosquito species number and country area. Chile had the lowest relative density of species and Trinidad-Tobago the highest, followed by Panama and French Guiana.4. The potential distribution of species was predicted using an Ecological Niche Modelling (ENM) approach. Anopheles species had the largest predicted species ranges, whereas species of Deinocerites and Wyeomyia had the smallest.5. Species richness was estimated for 1° grids and by summing predicted presence of species from ENM. These methods both showed areas of high species richness in French Guiana, Panama, Trinidad-Tobago, and Colombia. Potential hotspots in endemicity included unsampled areas in Panama, French Guiana, Colombia, Belize, Venezuela, and Brazil.6. Argentina, The Bahamas, Bermuda, Bolivia, Cuba, and Peru were the most underrepresented countries in the database compared with known country species occurrence data. Analysis of species accumulation curves suggested patchiness in the distribution of data points, which may affect estimates of species richness.7. The data set is a first step towards the development of a global-scale repository of georeferenced mosquito collection records.
