Taxonomía y distribución de los anofelinos en el estado de Veracruz, México (Diptera: Culicidae, Anophelinae)

Abstract: La malaria o paludismo es una enfermedad humana causada por protozoarios del género Plasmodium y es transmitida por hembras de mosquito de ciertas especies de Anopheles. Se estima queen México el 33.1% de la población vive en áreas donde puede ocurrir la transmisión de la malaria. Veracruz es un estado donde la enfermedad es endémica debido a diversos factores que lo hacen una zona de riesgo para la transmisión, entre ellos las condiciones climáticas y la migración humana. Por lo anterior, en este trabajo se p… Show more

“…Similarly, the percentage of recorded species was increased by just 4% in Guerrero (2 additional species/52 previously reported species), but was almost doubled for Colima (9 new records/10 reported species), underlining the value of the present study to understanding the distribution of vector species in this region. Surveys have also been conducted in other states of Mexico, such as Veracruz [ 7 ], Yucatán [ 50 - 52 ], and Quintana Roo [ 53 ] but their geographical location, ~1000 km from the Pacific coast of Mexico, and marked differences in the type of ecosystems present in the Atlantic and Caribbean coasts compared to the Pacific coast, means that these studies are of limited relevance to the present findings.…”

“…To date, between 18 and 20 genera and 225–247 species of mosquitoes have been reported from Mexico [ 5 - 7 ]. However, only the subfamilies Anophelinae and Culicinae include vector species of medical or veterinary importance, especially those from the genera: Aede s, Anopheles , Culex , Haemagogus , Mansonia , Sabethes , Psorophora , and Coquillettidia [ 8 , 9 ].…”

“…Anopheles gabaldoni Vargas () and Wyeomyia stonei Vargas and Martínez‐Palacios () were originally discovered in Tabasco. Anopheles gabaldoni has been collected in large numbers in states adjacent to Tabasco such as Veracruz (Beltrán‐Aguilar et al ) and Campeche (Ordóñez‐Sánchez et al ), but in Tabasco there are no recent occurrence records for An. gabaldoni .…”

“…Mexico is divided into 32 political states, only six of which have been systematically studied with updated lists for species of Culicidae: Tlaxcala with 26 species, Quintana Roo with 81 species, Veracruz with 139 species, Tamaulipas with 82 species, Hidalgo with 57 species, and Nuevo Leon with 65 species (Muñoz‐Cabrera et al , Ortega‐Morales et al , Ibáñez‐Bernal et al , Ortega‐Morales et al , Ortega‐Morales et al , Ortega‐Morales et al ). One‐hundred mosquito species had been reported in Tabasco (Martini , Martínez‐Palacios , Vargas and Martínez‐Palacios , Vargas , Díaz‐Nájera and Vargas , Heinemann and Belkin , Zavortink , Méndez‐López et al , Torres‐Chable et al , and Ortega‐Morales et al ).…”

“…These evouchers consist of a habitus image and images displaying the diagnostic characters for each species, as stated in the original description and subsequent taxonomic reviews. Original descriptions and taxonomic reviews were compiled for all Anophelinae specimens and reviewed for diagnostic morphological characters to capture during imaging [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Mosquito specimens were photographed prior to extraction at the NMNH Scanning Electron Microscopy Imaging Lab, using an Olympus DSX100 camera, and are available as electronic vouchers.…”
