Abstract | Knowledge of the fauna composition of anopheline mosquitoes, their ecological aspects
and behavior, and inßuence of climatic variables on their population dynamics can help in understanding
the transmission of Plasmodium parasites and thus develop more efÞcient strategies for the
control of malaria. In the Central Atlantic Forest Biodiversity Corridor, southeastern Brazil, foci of
introduced malaria have been reported among people returning from the Amazon region, north Brazil.
Our objective was to evaluate and compare the anopheline fauna from a preserved environment and
an adjacent peridomiciliary modiÞed environment at the Central Atlantic Forest Biodiversity Corridor.
We collected anopheline mosquitoes on a monthly basis from June 2004 to May 2006 from both
these environments to understand the ecological aspects and their association with the occurrence
of malaria. We captured 5,491 anopheline mosquitoes belonging to two subgenera and 11 species and
studied the correlations between anopheline mosquito species and climatic variables. We considered
Anopheles darlingi (Root) as the principal malaria vector and Anopheles albitarsis s. l. (Arribalzaga)
as the secondary vector. | pt_BR |
