| diversity of mosquito vectors (diptera: culicidae) in caxiuanã, pará, brazil. | this paper presents a study based on ecological parameters represented by diversity and richness indices applied in a community of mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae), at the national forest of caxiuanã, melgaço municipality, state of pará, in the brazilian amazon. a total of 25,433 specimens of culicids were collected in the study, from five field collection periods, over 10 months, between 2005 and 2006. specimens were collected in four heights of the forest (ground level, 8 m, 16 m, and 30 m-cano ... | 2012 | 22997514 |
| molecular phylogeny of the vomerifer and pedroi groups in the spissipes section of the subgenus culex (melanoconion). | members of the new world mosquito subgenus melanoconion of the genus culex are important vectors of many alphaviruses including eastern and venezuelan equine encephalitis viruses (veev). we investigated the phylogenetic relationships among nine putative species of the vomerifer and pedroi groups of the neotropical spissipes section by sequencing the internal transcribed spacer 2 (its-2) region of ribosomal dna and using phylogenetic analyses. results demonstrated that, within the spissipes secti ... | 2004 | 15311446 |
