“…Ecological description of the study areas -The ecology of ATL in Espírito Santo has been described in detail in previous publications (Falqueto et al 1986, Ferreira et al 2001. The transmission cycle of L. (V.) braziliensis occurs in areas situated at medium and lower elevations (50-750 m above sea level).…”

“…The rapid increase in cases (Table I) coupled with evidence of transmission in the peridomiciliary environment (Ferreira et al 2001) has prompted calls for adding preventive measures to the current na-tional control policy of diagnosis and treatment. During the first epidemic, several cases of the disease were described from patients working in deforested areas or living in newly established communities (Machado 1913).…”

“…In each environment, it was used a modified Shannon trap (Shannon, 1939), of dimensions 1 m X 1 m X 1.9 m (topped with an overhanging square roof of side 1.6 m) (Ferreira et al 2001). The culicids were collected using a Castro manual suction catcher and tubes impregnated with ethyl acetate.…”

Mosquitoes comprehend a group with a major impact on public health, because some species transmit parasites vertebrate hosts. Comparative studies between preserved environment and disturbed areas provide important epidemiological information, due to the major knowledge on species populational dynamics and the possibility of a contact between vector species and human population. This work aims to characterize and compare the fauna of mosquitoes in the Goytacazes National Forest (GNF) and surrounding area, in the State of Espírito Santo, in Brazil. Collections occurred simultaneously in a preserved environment and in a peridomicile, from 15:00 to 18:00, between July 2008 and May 2009. In each environment, it was used a modified trap of Shannon type. As a result, 1,490 specimens from 14 genera and 19 identified species were collected. The species diversity (H = 1.95), species richness (S = 17), equitability index (J = 0.68) and the number of collected specimens (n = 1,100) were higher in the forest environment. The plentiful species were respectively Aedes (Ochlerotatus) scapularis (Rondani, 1848), Culex (Culex) nigripalpus Theobald, 1901 and Aedes (Ochlerotatus) fulvus (Wiedemann, 1828). Our results demonstrate that the occurrence of vector species in this region increases the potential risk of diverse arboviruses occurrence, especially wild-type yellow fever.
