Registro de Aedes albopictus em áreas epizoóticas de febre amarela das Regiões Sudeste e Sul do Brasil (Diptera: Culicidae)

Introduction:We analyzed the vertical and monthly distributions of culicid species in the gallery forest of Brasília National Park, with an emphasis on the potential vectors of yellow fever (YF). Methods: Between September 2010 and August 2011, mosquitoes were captured on the ground and in the canopy of the forest for fi ve consecutive days per month, from nine to 15 hours. The mosquitoes were examined to verify natural infection with fl aviviruses by isolation in Aedes albopictus Skuse, 1864 cells followed by indirect immunofl uorescence. Results: We identifi ed 2,677 culicids distributed in 29 species. Most of the mosquitoes were captured at ground level (69%) during the rainy season (86%

Zika virus, already widely distributed in Africa and Asia, was recently reported in two Northeastern Brazilian: State of Bahia and State of Rio Grande do Norte, and one Southeastern: State of São Paulo. This fi nding adds a potentially noxious virus to a list of several other viruses that are widely transmitted by Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti and Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus in Brazil. The pathology and epidemiology, including the distribution and vectors associated with Zika virus, are reviewed. This review is focused on viruses transmitted by Aedes (Stegomyia) mosquitoes, including dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, Mayaro, and yellow fever virus, to emphasize the risks of occurrence for these arboviruses in Brazil and neighboring countries. Other species of Aedes (Stegomyia) are discussed, emphasizing their involvement in arbovirus transmission and the possibility of adaptation to environments modifi ed by human activities and introduction in Brazil.
