“…Wyeomyia confusa and Limatus durhamii were the dominant species, corroborating recent findings in other sections in the CSP, where several capture techniques were applied for adults and immature forms [23,24]. Ceretti-Júnior et al (2020) [23] conducted captures in two other sections of the CSP, located in the cities of São Paulo and Mairiporã. They identified 88 Culicidae species, distributed in 16 genera, of which only 23 species coincided with those identified in this study, and the greatest difference was in the Culex genus.…”

“…Some species of medical importance, such as Haemagogus janthinomys/capricornii, Psorophora albigenu, Sabethes albiprivus, and Sa. belisarioi found in this study, were not observed by these two authors [23,24].…”

“…No other entomological studies have been conducted in the Cabuçu section of the CSP. Therefore, this study increases the knowledge of the Culicidae fauna of the park as a whole, especially the species with diurnal activity, which include 11 species of the Aedini tribe and 31 species of the Sabethini tribe, mainly the genera Wyeomyia and Trichoprosopon, frequently found in the preserved dense ombrophilous forest of the Serra do Mar [21][22][23][24]. The period evaluated-spring and summer-is especially favorable for the development of immature forms of these groups due to the frequent rains that fill natural breeding sites, including tree hollows, bamboo internodes, and leaf axils [2].…”

Hand-held insect nets are the standard method for capturing vector mosquitoes of sylvatic arboviruses; however, occupational risks and biases due to individual skill and attractiveness are important limitations. The use of chemical attractants and automatic traps could be an alternative to resolve these limitations. This study compares the yields achieved using nets with those employing electrical traps with CO2 and BG-Lure®, near the ground and in the canopy strata (6.0 and 8.0 m high). The study was conducted at the Cantareira State Park, which is in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest biome. In the 18 collections performed, 3570 specimens of 52 taxa were obtained. The most frequent species captured near the ground were Wyeomyia confusa and Limatus durhamii, whereas Sabethes albiprivus, Sabethes purpureus, and Haemagogus leucocelaenus were the most frequent in the canopy. The nets resulted in greater species richness and abundance, followed by the trap employing CO2. The combination of CO2 traps with BG-Lure® did not improve performance. The use of BG-Lure® alone resulted in low abundance and a low number of species. Our results demonstrate that the use of traps with CO2 can be complementary to collections with nets; however, for species of epidemiological interest such as those of the genera Haemagogus and Sabethes, especially in the canopy, the net remains the method of choice.

“…A large number of An. cruzii specimens have been collected in the study areas in previous studies, highlighting the importance of this species in the bromeliad−malaria cycle in the Atlantic Forest, where it has been found in the vicinity of human dwellings [ 43 , 58 , 59 , 60 ]. The occurrence of this species, especially in PEC, raises concerns, as this conservation area harbors non-human primate populations that act as reservoirs for Plasmodium , increasing the likelihood of Plasmodium transmission to humans [ 57 , 61 ].…”

The physicochemical parameters of water, such as pH, salinity, conductivity, and total dissolved solids, can influence mosquito larval development, survival, and abundance. Therefore, it is important to elucidate how these factors influence mosquito occurrence. We hypothesized that the occurrence and community composition of immature mosquito species are driven not only by the availability of suitable aquatic habitats, but also by the physicochemical factors of these habitats. The primary objective of this study was therefore to investigate the influence of the physicochemical parameters of water in different types of aquatic habitats on the occurrence of mosquito species in two remnants of Atlantic Forest in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Collections of immature mosquitoes and assessment of the physicochemical characteristics of the water in the collection sites were carried out for twelve months. The variation in species composition and occurrence with the measured physicochemical parameters and the type of breeding site was assessed using constrained ordination methods. The results indicate that there was a statistically significant difference in species composition as a function of the different types of aquatic habitats, and that pH had an influence on species occurrence even when the variance explained by the type of aquatic habitat was removed from the analysis. There was a statistically significant association between mosquito species occurrence and pH and salinity, and the former had a significant influence on the mosquito species collected regardless of the type of aquatic habitat, showing that the pH of the breeding site water is an important factor in driving mosquito population dynamics and species distribution.
