Abstract Background Malaria is a public health problem in the Brazilian Amazon region. In integrated vector management for malaria (anopheline) control, indoor residual spraying (IRS) represents one of main tools basic strategy applied Amazonian states. It essential to understand efficacy insecticides on different surfaces determine spray cycles, ensure their rational use, and prevent wastage. This study aimed evaluate six insecticide formulations used National Control Programme four types...
Abstract Mansonia (Diptera: Culicidae) are known to cause discomfort the local populations of Amazon. Considering fact that effective control these mosquitoes can only be obtained by understanding their ecology and behavior, entomological monitoring becomes essential. In view this, genus were collected human landing catches (HLC) from 2015 2019, in four locations Porto Velho, Rondônia, Brazil. The collections performed inside outside homes, once every months, uninterrupted for 24 hr. Human...
Mosquito females of the genus Mansonia (Blanchard) can be a nuisance to humans and animals since they are voraciously hematophagous feed on blood variety vertebrates. Despite their relevance, there is lack investigation into blood-feeding patterns species. Knowledge host preference crucial in establishing public health importance mosquito species its potential involved transmission dynamics pathogens. Species that primarily anthropophilic more effective spreading vector-borne pathogens...
Abstract Background Most cases of malaria in Brazil are concentrated the Amazon region. One vector control alternatives recommended by WHO is long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN). This tool used nine federal states Brazilian Legal Amazon, where LLINs essential for reducing density and disease transmission as they prevent contact between mosquito individual. The objective this study was to evaluate residuality use LLIN insecticides different health regions a city located Amazon. Methods A...
INTRODUCTION: An entomological study was conducted as part of a vector-monitoring program in the area associated with Santo Antônio hydroelectric system State Rondônia, Western Amazonian Brazil. METHODS: Fourteen sampling sites were surveyed to obtain data on potential vectors Leishmania spp. area. Sand flies collected from 2011 2014 during months January/February (rainy season), May/June (dry and September/October (intermediary season) using light traps arranged three vertical strata (0.5,...
A practical limitation to many metabarcoding initiatives is that sampling methods tend collect non-target taxa, which become "amplicon noise" can saturate Next Generation Sequencing results and lead both financial resource inefficiencies. An available molecular tool significantly decrease these amplicons the need for pre-DNA-extraction sorting of bycatch design PCR primers tailored taxa under investigation. We assessed whether D2 extension segment 28S ribosomal operon limit this shortcoming...
Studies based on the bacterial diversity present in Mansonia spp. are limited; therefore, aim of this study was to investigate females and larvae spp., describe differences between groups identified, compare microbiota from different collection sites. Sequences 16S rRNA region were analyzed. Diversity analyzes performed verify possible The results showed Pseudomonas most abundant genus both larvae, followed by Wolbachia Rikenellaceae Desulfovibrio larvae. Sulfurospirillum, sulfate-...
Abstract High abundance of hematophagous mosquitoes the genus Mansonia Blanchard, 1901 (Diptera: Culicidae) threatens human and domestic animal health well-being. Knowledge biology nuisance mosquito species is necessary to understand specific ecological biological factors enable rapid effective monitoring measures for sustainable control programs. The establishment dispersion are associated with occurrence aquatic macrophytes species, which indispensable development larvae pupae. To increase...
Abstract The rapid and economical monitoring of mosquitos is imperative to understanding the dynamics both disease vectors nuisance species. In light technological advances in mosquito sampling DNA sequencing, health agencies can now utilize full potential metabarcoding pipelines for standardizable surveillance. Here, we describe spatial temporal variation, with particular focus on Mansonia Blanchard species, Madeira (Rondônia State) Ribeira (São Paulo) watersheds, Brazil using D2 rDNA...
