Diversity of Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in the Bom Retiro Private Natural Heritage Reserve, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil

Amanda Queiroz Bastos et al.

Summary: This study registers the diversity of Culicidae in the Bom Retiro Private Natural Heritage Reserve in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil, and finds that forest-altered sites have greater species richness and diversity compared to the forest preserved site.

Evaluation of Methods for Collecting Mosquitoes (Culicidae: Diptera) in Canopy and Ground Strata in the Brazilian Savanna

Luis Filipe Mucci et al.

Summary: This study compared hand-nets with automatic traps in capturing mosquitoes in a Brazilian park. The hand-net resulted in the highest diversity and abundance of species, followed by the traps associated with CO2. Using BG-Lure(R) alone had a low capturing effect.

Mosquito Fauna and Spatial Distribution in an Atlantic Forest Area in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, Reveal a High Risk of Transmission of Yellow Fever and Other Arboviruses

Rafaella de Miranda et al.

Summary: During the most severe outbreak of yellow fever in Brazil from 2017 to 2019, researchers investigated the mosquito fauna and species distribution in a primatology center in the Atlantic Forest. The study found that the area was highly vulnerable to arbovirus transmission, especially yellow fever, due to the diverse local fauna and the presence of primary vectors of the virus. Improved surveillance and vaccination coverage in both human and captive non-human primates are necessary.

Prevalence of arboviruses and other infectious causes of skin rash in patients treated at a tertiary health unit in the Brazilian Amazon

Luiz Henrique Goncalves Maciel et al.

Summary: This study estimated the prevalence of arboviruses and other infectious causes of skin rash in a tertiary health unit in Western Brazilian Amazon. The results showed that ZIKV was the most common single infection, and approximately one-quarter of patients had an unknown cause for their skin rash.

The magnitude and causes of edge effects on soil organic carbon stocks within and across urban to rural forest patches

Jeehwan Bae et al.

Summary: The study revealed that in rural forests, biotic factors play a key role in influencing edge effects on SOC stocks, while in urban forests, heterogeneous human activities at the local scale lead to complex edge effects on SOC stocks.

Distribution and diversity of mosquitoes and Oropouche-like virus infection rates in an Amazonian rural settlement

Jordam William Pereira-Silva et al.

Summary: Mosquito diversity and distribution in forest environments were studied to analyze potential vectors of Amazonian forest arboviruses. Mosquito species composition did not differ significantly between anthropic and forest environments, with some species hypothesized to participate in virus transmission in the Amazonian rural settlement. Three species were found positive for Oropouche-like viruses, indicating a minimum infection rate of 0.8%.

Microclimate and the vertical stratification of potential bridge vectors of mosquito-borne viruses captured by nets and ovitraps in a central Amazonian forest bordering Manaus, Brazil

Adam Hendy et al.

Summary: A scaffold tower was constructed at the forest edge in Manaus, Brazil to identify potential mosquito vectors bridging virus transmission between humans and monkeys. Haemagogus janthinomys and Psorophora amazonica were found to be abundant in nets at different heights, with the former more prevalent at elevated levels. The abundance of these mosquitoes increased with precipitation, and Hg. janthinomys was most frequently collected at a temperature of 29.9 degrees C.

Shifts in mosquito diversity and abundance along a gradient from oil palm plantations to conterminous forests in Borneo

Katherine Young et al.

Summary: The study shows that as the distance increases from interior forest to edge vegetation and then to plantations, the abundance of mosquitoes decreases, with Aedes albopictus becoming the sole species and a potential bridge vector for multiple virus transmission. The female bias in A. albopictus abundance in plantations, contrasted with the presence of A. niveus only in forests, suggests different ecological preferences among mosquito species in response to habitat changes.
