“…They were found during all four seasons in Aguas Blancas and San Ramón de la Nueva Orán, but not in El Oculto. These results agree with the findings of Sabio (2005) and De Barros et al (2007), who found specimens in the USA and Brazil during the entire year.…”

“…The presence and abundance of C. paraensis in the study area could be consistent with the suggestion of De Barros et al (2007) that because this species is anthropophilic, it would show a substantial capacity to survive and reproduce in human environments. This characteristic of the species would explain its broad geographical range, which extends from the United States to Argentina.…”

“…This pattern of influence was cited by Kay and Lennon (1982), who found that temperature and humidity were the most important climatic variables in the determination of the seasonality patterns of Culicoides species. In addition, several authors have reported the direct relationship between temperature, rainfall, and humidity on the population abundance of Culicoides in Brazil, due to the influence of these climatic variables on the life cycles of the species or on alterations in their breeding places (Sherlock and Guitton 1964; Santos da Silva et al 2001; De Barros et al 2007). In Argentina, Veggiani Aybar et al (2010) cited accumulated rainfall as the climatic variable most strongly related to the abundance of Culicoides species.…”

The goal of this survey was to analyze the spatio-temporal distribution patterns of Culicoides Latreille species (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) and their relationship with environmental variables in Salta, northwestern Argentina. Culicoides were collected monthly from January 2003 through December 2005. The influence of the climatic variables on population abundance was analyzed with a multilevel Poisson regression. A total of 918 specimens belonging to five species were collected. The most abundant species was Culicoides paraensis Goeldi (65.5%), followed by Culicoides lahillei Iches (14.6%) and Culicoides debilipalpis Lutz (7.6%). The highest seasonal abundance for C. paraensis, C. debilipalpis and C. lahillei occurred during the spring and summer. A Poisson regression analysis showed that the mean maximum and minimum temperature and the mean maximum and minimum humidity were the variables with the greatest influence on the population abundance of Culicoides species.

“…On the other hand, studies in Salta province reported a positive correlation between the abundance of Culicoides and temperature and relative humidity (Veggiani Aybar et al, 2012). In addition, several authors have informed the strong relation between temperature, accumulated rainfall and humidity to the abundance of Culicoides in Brazil, due to the influence of these meteorological variables over the life cycles of the species or the alteration in their breeding sites (Sherlock & Guitton, 1964; Santos Da Silva et al, 2001; De Barros, Marinho & Rebêlo, 2007). …”

Within the Ceratopogonidae family, many genera transmit numerous diseases to humans and animals, while others are important pollinators of tropical crops. In the Yungas ecoregion of Argentina, previous systematic and ecological research on Ceratopogonidae focused on Culicoides, since they are the main transmitters of mansonelliasis in northwestern Argentina; however, few studies included the genera Forcipomyia, Dasyhelea, Atrichopogon, Alluaudomyia, Echinohelea, and Bezzia. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the presence and abundance of Ceratopogonidae in this region, their association with meteorological variables, and their variation in areas disturbed by human activity. Monthly collection of specimens was performed from July 2008 to July 2009 using CDC miniature light traps deployed for two consecutive days. A total of 360 specimens were collected, being the most abundant Dasyhelea genus (48.06%) followed by Forcipomyia (26.94%) and Atrichopogon (13.61%). Bivariate analyses showed significant differences in the abundance of the genera at different sampling sites and climatic conditions, with the summer season and El Corralito site showing the greatest abundance of specimens. Accumulated rainfall was the variable that related the most to the abundance of Culicoides (10.56%), while temperature was the most closely related variable to the abundance of Forcipomyia, Dasyhelea, and Atrichopogon.

“…More than 100 Culicoides species are known in Brazil (Wirth and Blanton , Wirth et al , Felippe‐Bauer and Oliveira , Aparício et al ). Roughly 40 species occur in Maranhão state (Silva and Rebêlo , Barros et al , Silva and Carvalho , Costa et al ), primarily found in peridomestic areas of the countryside. Culicoides spp.…”

We investigated whether biting midges in peridomestic environments are affected by environmental management practices and the presence of domestic animals. We used CDC light traps to collect midges in 112 residences across 24 locations along tourism routes of Maranhão, Brazil. The collection areas were characterized as follows: i) peridomestic area with domestic animals and without management (dirty); ii) peridomestic with domestic animals and management (clean); iii) peridomestic without animals and with management (clean); iv) peridomestic without animals and without management (dirty). The first two treatments had higher biting midge species richness and abundance, respectively. Generalized linear models indicated a positive correlation between the presence of domestic animals and midge abundance, with an approximate four-fold increase in Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) abundance in peridomestic areas with animals. The same model showed that domestic animals have no influence on richness. Environmental management does not appear to influence species richness or abundance of biting midges.
