Objetivo: descrever a distribuição sazonal de culicídeos e incidência dos casos dengue em Barreiras,
Phylogenetic relationships among 21 species of mosquitoes in subgenus Nyssorhynchus were inferred from the nuclear white and mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6 (ND6) genes. Bayesian phylogenetic methods found that none three Sections within (Albimanus, Argyritarsis, Myzorhynchella) supported all analyses, although Myzorhynchella was to be monophyletic at combined Within Albimanus Section monophyly Strodei Subgroup strongly Anopheles antunesi An. lutzii formed a group. The...
OBJETIVO: Verificar a influência da temperatura sobre os estágios de desenvolvimento Aedes albopictus sob condições laboratório.

Nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) rDNA and partial cytochrome coxidase subunit I (COI) mtDNA white gene nDNA were obtained from specimens Anopheles nuneztovari A collected in Macapá (state Amapá), Óbidos, Prainha Almeirim Pará), Itacoatiara Parintins Amazonas), Brazil, compared with previously published A. s.l. Results Bayesian phylogenetic analyses performed using either COI or combined ITS2, suggest that An. B/C is distinct Amazonas/Solimões River basin....
Abstract In this study, we report the first records and morphological characterization of galls in a Cerrado area western Bahia, Brazil. The data were collected monthly over two hours between March September 2015. Fifteen gall morphotypes found twelve plant species distributed among seven families. family with greatest richness was Fabaceae (n = 8). following morphologies found: globoid, lenticular, marginal leaf roll, conical, cylindrical, fusiform, spherical pocket shaped. Cecidomyiidae...
Abstract The aim of this study was to characterize galls three species the Copaifera genus (C. sabulicola, C. luetzelburgii and depilis), which occur sympatrically in a Cerrado area from Bahia state. A total 23 gall morphotypes were found, 9 on 7 depilis. Galls predominated leaves stems. most abundant colours found among brown green. Regarding period year, 35,511 leaflets analysed, 16,322 collected dry season 19,189 rainy season. In season, 1,635 having observed, highest proportion observed...

Fragmentos de mata no cenário urbano podem reunir condições favoráveis à reprodução espécies Culicidae. No Parque Regional do Iguaçu (Curitiba, Paraná) existe uma série cavas ou lagoas contendo vegetação aquática que pode ser utilizada pelos imaturos das Mansoniini. A investigação foi desenvolvida com objetivo conhecer as Mansonia Blanchard, 1901 exercem hematofagia período diurno em área interior parque. As coletas dos mosquitos foram efetuadas setembro 1999 a agosto 2000. Três...
Identification of Anopheles nuneztovari Gabaldón and An. goeldii Rozeboom based on the male genitalia traits is discussed. in synonymy nuneztovari, however, characters aedeagus distinguish both species. We hypothesize that may be a valid species, further studies using molecular characters, especially ITS2 rDNA sequences will necessary to elucidate taxonomic status konderi Galvão Damasceno forattinii Wilkerson Sallum are registered for first time state Amapá.
A new species of Lopesia Rübsaamen, 1908 induces leaf galls on Andira humilis (Fabaceae) in the Cerrado biome (Brazilian savanna) Bahia, Mato Grosso and São Paulo states, Brazil. Larva, pupa, female, male this gall midge are described illustrated paper.
Galls on Bauhinia cupulata (Fabaceae) were investigated in two physiognomies of the Cerrado, riparian and dry forest, municipality Barreiras (Western Bahia, Brazil) from October 2012 to July 2014. Four insect gall morphotypes found. They characterized based shape, color, indumentum, plant organ occurrence galling taxon. A new species, Schizomyia barreirensis, is described, illustrated (larva, pupa, male, female gall) compared other Neotropical congeneric species.
Vegetation islands inside urban area can propitiate the formation of: a) adults refuge to many mosquitoes species, b) diversity of hosters, c) allows proliferation immature stages through naturals and artificial breeding, these ones were done by interaction between antropic activity developed in spaces or around areas. Considering possibilities contacts vector human population, aim this work was verify Culicidae species that use man as blood source restricted areas Botanical Garden,...
Host plant species have very specific interconnection with galling species. Here, we estimate the potential distribution of host Andira humilis Mart. ex Benth. (Fabaceae) to consequently locate ranges its Lopesia andirae Garcia, Lima, Calado, and Guimarães (2017) based on ecological requirements. The niche model was built using Maxent v.3.4.1k, an algorithm that estimates species’ distributions. We found suitable habitats for L. encompassing areas Cerrado, Caatinga Atlantic Forest. Annual...
Fêmeas adultas, larvas e pupas de A. cruzii Dyar & Knab, 1908 homunculus Komp, 1937 são muito semelhantes morfologicamente, sendo difícil a identificação através dos caracteres taxonômicos tradicionais. Nesse estudo, RAPD RFLP foram utilizados para facilitar dessas espécies. O DNA amplificado com os iniciadores OPY-05 OPY-10, digestão da região ITS2 as enzimas HaeIII Sau96I geraram padrões espécie-específicos. Desta forma, do uso desses marcadores moleculares, duas espécies podem ser...
The aim of the present study was to examine genetic variability in populations An. cruzii by employing PCR-RAPD and PCR-RFLP markers. All analyses were carried out using individuals F1 generation wild caught females obtained Santa Catarina State (Florianópolis São Francisco do Sul), Paraná (Morretes, Paranaguá Guaratuba) Paulo (Cananéia). In experiments, seven primers used for comparisons within among populations. restriction profile ITS2 including a fragment both 5.8S 28S regions rDNA with...

Paraná, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo States, cattleianum Sabine city of Curitiba, Paraná. A brief comparative synopsis pictures main diagnostic characters are given for this species ficicola Takahashi, 1921, which also recently Brazil, collected on Ficus benjamina (L.) Paraná microcarpa State.
A região oeste da Bahia passa por acelerado processo de desenvolvimento agrícola, o que tem gerado problemas infraestrutura nos municípios. falta saneamento básico e coleta dos resíduos são alguns desses problemas, os quais têm papel importante no aumento criadouros disponíveis aos culicídeos. Assim, considerando as possibilidades contato entre vetor população humana, objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar a fauna culicíeos adultos em uma área urbana verificar presença espécies interesse saúde...

The cowpea weevil (Callosobruchus maculatus) is the main post-harvest pest of crop because it causes damage when feeds on grains during storage and, consequently, inflicts economic loss. Among promising alternatives to chemical control beetle in stored use biological by means parasitoid Dinarmus basalis. This parasitic relationship has been reported several Brazilian states. study aims record occurrence this associated with C. maculatus municipality Barra, São-Franciscano Valley Mesoregion...
Abstract Understanding the diversity of insect galls is pivotal to establishment conservation planning in different Brazilian ecosystems. Here, we (1) characterize found on plant host species, (2) identify gall-inducing insects lowest possible taxonomic level, and (3) record presence gall-associated fauna. Our study was carried out monthly from August, 2017 July, 2018 along nine trails Serra da Bandeira, which located an area Cerrado stricto sensu over a year. We 48 distinct gall...
Gall-inducing insects are highly specialized herbivores as they have the ability to control and redirect development of host plants obtain food shelter. The distribution galls on can be influenced by seasonality phenological events, which determines reproductive success these insects. species Manihot caerulescens Pohl (Euphorbiaceae) has a great diversity gall-inducing in Cerrado Western Bahia. Our study aimed (1) fauna associated with M. (2) evaluate events this plant species. We performed...
