Determinação das fontes de repasto sanguíneo de Culicoides Latreille (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) em áreas rurais do norte do estado do Maranhão, Brasil

Abstract: Submetido em 11/03/2014 Aceito para publicação em 15/12/2014 Resumo O conteúdo estomacal de fêmeas do gênero Culicoides foi estudado para determinar suas fontes alimentares sanguíneas e o grau de relações estabelecidas entre esses insetos e seus hospedeiros. Os espécimes foram capturados em armadilhas luminosas tipo CDC no período entre março de 2009 e fevereiro de 2010, em duas localidades rurais da ilha de São Luís-MA. Foram capturadas 930 fêmeas ingurgitadas, pertencentes a 12 espécies de Culicoides. Foi… Show more

“…This is supported by Costa et al (), as female midges were found in the same area with blood from domestic animals, including birds, dogs, pigs, and horses. In addition, in the present study we found the ornithophilic C. paucienfuscatus only in residences with birds, corroborating the observations of Castellón () and Gusmão et al (). The other species interacted with a variety of animals that could function as a blood source (Costa et al ).…”

“…Female Culicoides generally need blood for egg developent, but some species are autogenous, meaning that they can produce the initial batch of eggs without a blood meal (Borkent and Spinelli ). Culicoides are generalist feeders that pursue blood meals from synanthropic domestic animals and humans (Costa et al , Gusmão et al ) and can become nuisance pests near beaches, forests, mountains, and mangroves. These insects are vectors of filariae of the genus Mansonella in the Americas and Africa.…”

“…Some entomological surveys were carried out in forested areas, especially in Central Amazonia (Goeldi 1905, Castellón et al 1990, Farias et al 2015, 2016), and some were conducted in coastal areas in the state of Pará (Trindade and Gorayeb 2010). In the state of Maranhão (MA) in Brazil, studies have focused on their blood sources (Gusmão et al 2015), leishmania infection in endemic areas of cutaneous leishmaniasis (Rebêlo et al 2016), influence of environmental management and animal shelters on vector control (Bandeira et al 2017), and other ecological aspects (Barros et al 2007, Gusmão et al 2019, Silva and Carvalho 2013).…”
