ABSTRACT. Mosquito community composition in dynamic landscapes from the Atlantic Forest biome (Diptera, Culicidae). Considering that some species of Culicidae are vectors of pathogens, both the knowledge of the diversity of the mosquito fauna and how some environment factors influence in it, are important subjects. In order to address the composition of Culicidae species in a forest reserve in southern Atlantic Forest, we compared biotic and abiotic environmental determinants and how they were associated with the occurrence of species between sunset and sunrise. The level of conservation of the area was also considered. The investigation was carried out at Reserva Natural do Morro da Mina, in Antonina, state of Paraná, Brazil. We performed sixteen mosquito collections employing Shannon traps at three-hour intervals, from July 2008 to June 2009. The characterization of the area was determined using ecological indices of diversity, evenness, dominance and similarity. We compared the frequency of specimens with abiotic variables, i.e., temperature, relative humidity and pluviosity. Seven thousand four hundred ten mosquito females were captured. They belong to 48 species of 12 genera. The most abundant genera were Anopheles, Culex, Coquillettidia, Aedes and Runchomyia. Among the species, the most abundant was Anopheles cruzii, the primary vector of Plasmodium spp. in the Atlantic Forest. Results of the analyses showed that the abiotic variables we tested did not influence the occurrence of species, although certain values suggested that there was an optimum range for the occurrence of culicid species. It was possible to detect the presence of species of Culicidae with different epidemiologic profiles and habitat preference.

“…In the state of Paraná, there are 205 species of Culicidae of 18 genera. This corresponds to approximately 10% of the culicid fauna of the Neotropical Region (Lozovei & Luz 1976;Lozovei 2001;Barbosa et al 2003;Bona & Navarro-Silva 2006;Guedes 2012;Müller et al 2012).…”

“…As fêmeas picam ativamente durante todo o dia no interior da mata, no peridomicilio e até mesmo no intradomicílio, com picos de atividade hematofágica nos horários crepusculares, sobretudo no vespertino (Rachou, 1946b;Forattini et al, 1986). Observações sobre a idade fisiológica desta espécie sugerem uma curta longevidade média das fêmeas adultas, o que leva a crer que seu papel como vetor dependa de uma elevada abundância populacional e de um reconhecido padrão de discordância gonotrófica que induz as fêmeas a realizarem mais de um repasto sanguíneo antes de sua primeira oviposição (Forattini et al, 1993;Bona & Navarro-Silva, 2006).

Background: The Atlantic rainforest ecosystem, where bromeliads are abundant, provides an excellent environment for Kerteszia species, because these anophelines use the axils of those plants as larval habitat. Anopheles (K.) cruzii and Anopheles (K.) bellator are considered the primary vectors of malaria in the Atlantic forest. Although the incidence of malaria has declined in some areas of the Atlantic forest, autochthonous cases are still registered every year, with Anopheles cruzii being considered to be a primary vector of both human and simian Plasmodium.

Abstract: The likely gonotrophic discordance is epidemiologically relevant because female mosquitoes can search for more than one host to complete the maturation of their eggs.
