| [record of epidemiologically important culicidae in the rural area of manaus, amazonas]. | the biodiversity of the amazon region includes many species of arthropod vectors in different ecotopes, thus enabling occurrences of diseases like malaria, filariasis and arbovirosis. from august 2001 to july 2002, we gathered culicids from inside homes, from areas surrounding these homes and from forested areas of the são joão community, in the rural zone of manaus, state of amazonas. 1240 specimens were collected, belonging to the culicinae (99%) and anophelinae (1%) subfamilies, with 50 speci ... | 2008 | 19142448 |
| biodiversity and temporal distribution of immature culicidae in the atlantic forest, rio de janeiro state, brazil. | to increase the knowledge of biodiversity and identify larval habitats used by immature mosquitoes in the atlantic forest, we conducted a study in areas with various stages of preservation within the guapiaçu ecological reserve in cachoeiras de macacu, rio de janeiro state. the culicidae fauna were sampled during february, april, june, august, october, and december 2012; february, march, april, may, june, august, october, and december 2013; and january and march 2014. immature mosquitoes were co ... | 2016 | 27404496 |
| wing geometry of culex coronator (diptera: culicidae) from south and southeast brazil. | the coronator group encompasses culex coronator dyar & knab, culex camposi dyar, culex covagarciai forattini, culex ousqua dyar, culex usquatissimus dyar, culex usquatus dyar and culex yojoae strickman. culex coronator has the largest geographic distribution, occurring in north, central and south america. moreover, it is a potential vector-borne mosquito species because females have been found naturally infected with several arboviruses, i.e., saint louis encephalitis virus, venezuelan equine en ... | 2014 | 24721508 |
| mitochondrial genomes and comparative analyses of culex camposi, culex coronator, culex usquatus and culex usquatissimus (diptera:culicidae), members of the coronator group. | the coronator group currently encompasses six morphologically similar species (culex camposi dyar, culex coronator dyar and knab, culex covagarciai forattini, culex usquatus dyar, culex usquatissimus dyar, and culex ousqua dyar). culex coronator has been incriminated as a potential vector of west nile virus (wnv), saint louis encephalitis virus (slev), and venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (veev). the complete mitochondrial genome of cx. coronator, cx. usquatus, cx.usquatissimus, and cx. camp ... | 2015 | 26489754 |
| immature mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) in a eutrophic landfill tank from state of rio de janeiro, brazil. | to determine the faunal composition of immature culicids inhabiting a percolation tank in the landfill of sapucaia, state of rio de janeiro, brazil, immature mosquitoes were collected over a two-day period during the third weeks of april, august and october 2011. | 2014 | 24474021 |
| wing morphometry and genetic variability between culex coronator and culex usquatus (diptera: culicidae), two sibling species of the coronator group. | culex coronator dyar and knab and culex usquatus dyar belong to the coronator group of the subgenus culex. culex coronator and cx. usquatus are widespread and sympatric throughout their distribution range, which includes brazil. morphological identification of these species is based primarily on the characteristics of the male genitalia; females are indistinguishable using the qualitative characteristics employed in identification keys. the primary objective of this study was to distinguish fema ... | 2017 | 28399207 |
