Malaria is a vector-borne disease that great burden on the poorest and most marginalized communities of tropical subtropical world. Approximately 41 species Anopheline mosquitoes can effectively spread Plasmodium parasites cause human malaria. Proposing natural classification for subfamily Anophelinae has been continuous effort, addressed using both morphology DNA sequence data. The monophyly genus Anopheles , phylogenetic placement Bironella subgenera Kerteszia Lophopodomyia Stethomyia...
Specimens of neotropical Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) were collected and identified morphologically. We amplified three genes for phylogenetic analysis–the single copy nuclear white CAD genes, the COI barcode region. Since we had multiple specimens most species able to test how well or combined corroborate morphologically defined by placing into exclusive groups. found that including region, poor at confirming species, but do so much better. This has implications identification, delimitation,...
Malaria remains a significant public health issue in South America. Future climate change may influence the distribution of disease, which is dependent on those Anopheles mosquitoes competent to transmit Plasmodium falciparum. Herein, predictive niche models habitat suitability for P. falciparum, current primary vector darlingi and nine other known and/or potential species Neotropical Albitarsis Complex, were used document situation project future scenarios under changes America 2070.To...
Traps are widely employed for sampling and monitoring mosquito populations surveillance, ecological fauna studies. Considering the importance of assessing other technologies mosquitoes, we addressed effectiveness Mosquito Magnet® Independence (MMI) in comparison with those CDC trap CO2 Lurex3® (CDC-A) light (CDC-LT). Field collections were performed a rural area within Atlantic Forest biome, southeastern state São Paulo, Brazil. The MMI sampled 53.84% total number CDC-A (26.43%) CDC-LT...
Abstract Nyssorhynchus (Nyssorhynchus) ibiapabaensis (Sant'Ana & Sallum n. sp.) and Ny. (Nys.) untii are new species of the Arthuri Complex Strodei Subgroup. The described validated using morphological characters male, female, immature stages. description fourth-instar larva pupa arthuri (Unti, 1941) albertoi provided for first time. To avoid nomenclature instability, neotypes designated both species. All life stages strodei (Root, 1926) employing specimens collected in Agua Limpa...
Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) goeldii Rozeboom & Gabaldón, 1941, a species of the Nuneztovari Complex, was described based on morphological characteristics male, female, larva, pupa, and eggs. The type locality is Boa Vista (= Fordlândia), district in vicinity Rio Tapajós, municipality Aveiro, state Pará, Brazil. redescribed traits fourth instar egg, male female. DNA sequences from cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI barcode region) mitochondrial genome were utilized for characterization....
Two new records of Anopheles homunculus in the eastern part Atlantic Forest are reported. This species was found for first time Barra do Ouro district, Maquiné municipality, Rio Grande Sul state, located southern limit Forest. The 2nd record Serra Bonita Reserve, Camacan southeast Bahia state. These extend geographical distribution An. homunculus, suggesting that may be widely distributed coastal areas It is hypothesized disjunct caused by inadequate sampling, and also difficulties...
A new species of the genus Anopheles Meigen (Diptera: Culicidae), (Nyssorhynchus) striatus n. sp., preliminary designated as CP Form, from Brazil, is here validated and described using morphological characteristics egg, fourth-instar larva, pupa, female male genitalia. The morphologically more similar to Strodei Subgroup than any other subgenus Nyssorhynchus Blanchard. However, adult that can be misidentified with galvaoi Causey, Deane & if identification mainly based on ratio dark white...
Nyssorhynchus (Nyssorhynchus) jamariensis, a new species of the Nuneztovari Complex, previously known as Anopheles nuneztovari A, is described and validated using morphological characters adult male female, genitalia immature stages. The recorded from western Brazilian Amazon, where it was collected in pastures vicinity Jamari River, municipality Monte Negro, Rondnia State, Brazil. Illustrations genitalia, fourth-instar larva pupa are provided. jamariensis may be involved malaria...
Nyssorhynchus (Nyssorhynchus) rondoniensis, a new species of the Arthuri Complex Strodei Subgroup, is described and validated using morphological characters adult male female, genitalia, fourth-instar larva pupa. The recorded in municipalities Campo Novo de Rondnia Monte Negro, State, Brazil. Based on DNA sequence data, (as Ny. arthuri C) was found to belong separate lineage within Complex. Morphological characteristics genitalia confirmed that shared similarities with other Complex, but it...
