“…Although studies with culicidae have been performed in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest in the state of Paraná (Santos et al, 2019; Da Silva et al, 2019), most of them are concentrated in the coastal and southern regions of the state. Therefore, the current work aimed to study the occurrence of synanthropic culicidae species in an urban, a peri-urban (anthropized), and a preserved forest fragment of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.…”

Synanthropic Culicidae were sampled using natural and artificial traps in three forest fragments (Daher Wood, Botanical Garden, and Mata dos Godoy State Park) in Londrina, Paraná, Brazil. To collect Culicidae, six traps were distributed in two separate transects of 70 m each, parallel, with a distance between them of 30 m. Three traps were natural (bamboo) and the other three were artificial (tires). In total, we collected 15,048 specimens distributed in eight species. The peri-urban fragments showed the highest richness. Tires were preferred as breeding sites. The seasons of highest and lowest sampling were summer and winter. The Daher Wood and Botanical Garden showed high similarity, and the Godoy Wood, an intact environment, showed the greatest dominance. The mosquitoes demonstrated varying degrees of synanthropy. Correlations were positive between temperature (0.53) and precipitation (0.40) with Culicid abundance. The Principal Component Analysis indicated that tires were most influenced by temperature, relative humidity, and bamboos by Total Dissolved Solids. Four of the collected species showed potential to be vectors of etiological agents. Abiotic factors directly influence the biology of mosquitoes, which is reflected in higher diversity in warmer and rainy periods. Urban and peri-urban areas showed more synanthropic mosquitoes due to their preference for modified sites. Vector species in these areas are of concern because they can modify disease cycles, and for this reason, it is essential to monitor these areas.

“…The semideciduous seasonal forest, a type of vegetation belonging to the Atlantic Domain, and other Brazilian ecosystems as well, has undergone an intense process of degradation and fragmentation associated with the transformation of native vegetation into extensive areas for livestock or extensive farming (Lopes et al 2012). The semideciduous seasonal forest, even in the face of this process of environmental degradation, still harbors a diverse fauna of mosquitoes that find breeding sites in water accumulated in the soil, in phytothelmats and in artificial breeding sites, especially those formed by the disposal of irregular garbage in nearby forest areas or cities (Rezende et al 2011;Silva et al 2019).…”

This study aimed to compare the mosquito fauna found in three remnant forest fragments of a semideciduous seasonal forest by using oviposition traps in the northwestern region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Between 2018 and 2019, larvae were collected quarterly in three forest fragments, one situated in an urban area, another in a rural area close to the city and a third formed by an extensive area of native forest far from the urban environment. Four species were caught: Aedes terrens (Walker, 1856) (282), Limatus durhamii Theobald, 1901 (30), Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) (23) and Toxorhynchites theobaldi (Dyar and Knab, 1906) (6). The Morisita-Horn index indicated a high similarity between the fragments studied (>80%). The mean number of mosquitoes collected. in the rural area was significantly higher than in the other areas (F = 6.073; d.f. = 17; p <0.05). The calculation of the phi coefficient to assess the co-occurrence of two species in the same trap did not indicate significant values (p> 0.05). Aedes terrens demonstrated a good ability to colonize and inhabit the different types of forest fragments studied. In addition, the forest fragment located in a rural area close to the urban area offered conditions for the survival of species of wild and urban mosquitoes, such as Ae. aegypti.

Female mosquitoes of the genus Sabethes Robineau-Desvoidy, 1827 are implicated in the transmission of several arboviruses, including yellow fever virus. Here, we present an illustrated species identification key for females of the genus Sabethes recorded in Brazil, except Sa. nitidus Theobald, 1901 and Sa. harbachi Nascimento-Pereira, Guimarães, Lourenço-de-Oliveira & Motta, 2021 as only the males of these species are known. The key is available in dichotomous and interactive formats. An updated list of the Sabethes species of Brazil and new occurrence records for the states of the country are provided. The type localities of four species—Sa. glaucodaemon (Dyar & Shannon, 1925), Sa. amazonicus Gordon & Evans, 1922, Sa. belisarioi Neiva, 1908 and Sa. soperi Lane & Cerqueira, 1942—are corrected or restricted.
