O estudo de características comportamentais e fisiológicas em mosquitos tem sido feito principalmente em fêmeas, já que os machos não são hematófagos e por isso não são vetores de parasitas que causam doenças na população humana. No entanto, o estudo do comportamento reprodutivo de machos é ...
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar os padrões sazonais de distribuição e abundância relativa de Haemagogus leucocelaenus Dyar & Shannon, 1924 em um fragmento de Mata Atlântica do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, no qual ocorre atualmente a circulação do vírus da Febre Amarela (FA). As amost...
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Haemagogus are mosquitoes with diurnal habits that live preferentially in forest areas. In Brazil, they are considered the primary vectors of wild yellow fever. METHODS: The ecological relationships between Haemagogus spegazzinii, the environment, and some of its activities in th...
BACKGROUND Southeast Brazil has recently experienced a Yellow Fever virus (YFV) outbreak where the mosquito Haemagogus leucocelaenus was a primary vector. Climatic factors influence the abundance of mosquito vectors and arbovirus transmission. OBJECTIVES We aimed at describing the population dynamics ...

Abstract INTRODUCTION: The genus Haemagogus Williston is restricted to Central America and North and middle of South America and it includes numerous species of yellow fever virus vectors. METHODS: Adult female and larvae mosquitoes were collected using hand aspirators and dipper and pipette, respecti...
Abstract INTRODUCTION: DENV-2 is the cause of most dengue epidemics worldwide and is associated with severe cases. METHODS: We investigated arboviruses in 164 serum samples collected from patients presenting with clinical symptoms of dengue fever and 152 mosquito pools. RESULTS: We detected the Asi...
The control of Aedes aegypti has been considered one of the most important public health challenges worldwide. Chemical compounds have long been used for this purpose, but resistance to these molecules has also increased. Therefore, over the last few years several studies have focused on the development ...
The chemical composition and larvicidal activity of essential oils derived from the leaves and rhizomes of Zingiber montanum (J. Koenig) Link ex. A. Dietr. were reported. The main compounds in the leaf oil were β-pinene (13.8%), β-phellandrene (11.3%) and α-pinene (7.3%) while the rhizome oil was domi...

ABSTRACT Several studies have been carried out to determine the presence and circulation of West Nile Virus (WNV) in several species that interact in important ecosystems of Ecuador, such as the Galapagos Islands, where presence and surveillance studies of WNV have been carried out in wild and migratory ...
Mosquitos são insetos dípteros, pertencentes à Família Culicidae. São encontrados em quase todas as regiões do mundo, com exceção daquelas permanentemente congeladas. A família Culicidae apresenta duas subfamílias, Anophelinae e Culicinae as quais existem principalmente na região Neotropical (...
