Abstract | Several mosquito species in the Atlantic Forest are yellow fever vectors; therefore, this biome can represent
a potential risk to the human population. Studies on mosquitoes from predominantly sylvatic areas produce
valuable data for understanding the emergence of new epidemics. In addition, they can elucidate environmental
components favoring or hindering biodiversity and species distribution. Our study aimed to evaluate
the monthly distribution, composition, diversity, and influence of seasonal periods (dry and rainy) on the
mosquito fauna. We used CDC light traps at different levels in a forest area bordering a Conservation Unit of
Nova Iguaçu in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Specimens were collected from August 2018 to July 2019
by installing traps in sampling sites under different vegetation covers. We detected some species of epidemiological
importance in terms of arbovirus transmission. A total of 4,048 specimens representing 20 different
species were collected. Among them, Aedes (Stg.) albopictus Skuse, 1894 showed recurrent association with
the closest level to human residences and Haemagogus (Con.) leucocelaenus Dyar and Shannon, 1924 with
the most distant levels. Since these mosquitoes are possible vectors of yellow fever, monitoring the area is
extremely important. Under the studied conditions, the mosquito populations were directly influenced by dry
and rainy periods, posing a risk to the nearby resident population. | en_US |
