“…janthinomys 7 and Sa. chloropterus 29 may persist through the dry season, it is not known whether they remain sufficiently abundant to maintain transmission. Dry season sampling may also have provided further information about seasonal changes in stratification that have been observed for these species 29 , 32 .…”

The emergence of Zika virus (ZIKV) in Latin America brought to the fore longstanding concerns that forests bordering urban areas may provide a gateway for arbovirus spillback from humans to wildlife. To bridge urban and sylvatic transmission cycles, mosquitoes must co-occur with both humans and potential wildlife hosts, such as monkeys, in space and time. We deployed BG-Sentinel traps at heights of 0, 5, 10, and 15 m in trees in a rainforest reserve bordering Manaus, Brazil, to characterize the vertical stratification of mosquitoes and their associations with microclimate and to identify potential bridge vectors. Haemagogus janthinomys and Sabethes chloropterus, two known flavivirus vectors, showed significant stratification, occurring most frequently above the ground. Psorophora amazonica, a poorly studied anthropophilic species of unknown vector status, showed no stratification and was the most abundant species at all heights sampled. High temperatures and low humidity are common features of forest edges and microclimate analyses revealed negative associations between minimum relative humidity, which was inversely correlated with maximum temperature, and the occurrence of Haemagogus and Sabethes mosquitoes. In this reserve, human habitations border the forest while tamarin and capuchin monkeys are also common to edge habitats, creating opportunities for the spillback of mosquito-borne viruses.

“…The seasonality of tropical mosquitoes is strongly affected by the availability of suitable breeding sites, which in most localities is correlated with the rainfall pattern (Standfast & Barrow, 1968;Page, 1967;Grjebine et al, 1977;Galindo et al, 1956). In areas, therefore, where precipitation does not vary appreciably throughout the year, one might expect seasonal fluctuations in mosquitoes to be absent.…”

1. Seasonal and annual fluctuations in abundance of a number of species of mosquitoes were studied in a relatively non-seasonal climate near Almirante, Panama.2. The fluctuations observed were large, but did not have a period of 1 year and should be classified as non-seasonal.3. At each site the various species were not synchronous in their fluctuation pattern, but the fluctuations of each species were synchronous over an area of at least 4 km long, in spite of large differences in habitat. Changes in abundance fromyear to year observed in these mosquitoes are large compared w i t h those of insects, including mosquitoes, in other areas of Panama. 5 . The importance of such large and unpredictable fluctuations in abundance for planning control measures is discussed.
