Dengue, Zika and chikungunya are arboviruses of great importance for Public Health, being transmitted mainly by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. In Brazil, Aedes albopictus is considered a potential vector of these arboviruses, which makes better knowledge about the behavior of this species essential. For the control of Ae. aegypti, the methods mainly used are mechanical and chemical, which is…
Ae. aegypti is considered the main vector of dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses in Brazil. In addition, Aedes albopictus is considered a potential vector of these three arboviruses. The longevity of mosquito vectors is closely related to the parity of the female, which can be determined by observing the tracheiolas which oxygenate ovaries, whereas gonotrophic discordance is related to o…
Dengue virus transmission occurs through the bite of an infected female mosquito of Aedes genus: Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Although Ae . aegypti is associated with the urban environment and Ae . albopictus with the wild, these species are considered sympatric, with interaction occurring between the immature and adult stages. Interaction between adults may favor the occurrence of…
Arboviruses (Arthropod-borne virus) are viruses transmitted by arthropods and maintained in nature, mainly through biological transmission between susceptible vertebrate hosts and hematophagous arthropod vectors. In Brazil, there is the circulation of arboviruses important for public health, belonging to three main families: Flaviviridae, Togaviridae and Bunyaviridae. The main urban arbov…
In general, insects are characterized as diurnal, nocturnal and crepuscular because they restrict their daily activities, such as flight, oviposition and feeding, at certain times of the day. Aedes aegypti Linnaeus, 1762 is considered a diurnal mosquito, with main peaks of activity at dawn and dusk. However, some physiological variations may alter the activity of this species, such as ins…
In Brazil, the mosquito Aedes aegypti is considered the main vector of the dengue virus, chikungunya and Zika, being highly associated to humans and their habitations. Another mosquito - Aedes albopictus - is also widely distributed throughout the country and can not be neglected, it has great medical importance because is considered a potential vector of these three arboviruses. Worldwid…
Aedes aegypti is a mosquito found in urban and suburban areas, showing a endophilic and anthropophilic behavior. The breeding sites of Ae. aegypti are frequently artificial containers such as tires, cans, glasses, bottles, vases, dishes and water tanks.Silva et al 2006 reported the presence of Ae. aegypti in different buildings, such as homes, vacant lots and schools as well as in artific…
