| Abstract | In this study, the oviposition behavior of mosquito species exhibiting acrodendrophilic
habits was investigated. The study was conducted near the Simplício Hydroelectic Reservoir (SHR)
located on the border of the states of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Samples were collected
using oviposition traps installed in forest vegetation cover between 1.70 and 4.30mabove ground level
during the months of April, June, August, October, and December of 2011. Haemagogus janthinomys
(Dyar), Haemagogus leucocelaenus (Dyar and Shannon), Aedes albopictus (Skuse), and Aedes terrens
(Walker) specimens were present among the collected samples, the Þrst two of which being proven
vectors of sylvatic yellow fever (SYF) in Brazil and the latter is a vector of dengue in mainland Asia.
As the data set was zero-inßated, a speciÞc Poisson-based model was used for the statistical analysis.
When all four species were considered in the model, only heights used for egg laying and months of
sampling were explaining the distribution. However, grouping the species under the genera Haemagogus
Williston and Aedes Meigen showed a signiÞcant preference for higher traps of the former.
Considering the local working population of SHR is very large, ßuctuating, and potentially exposed
to SYF, and that this virus occurs in almost all Brazilian states, monitoring of Culicidae in Brazil is
essential for assessing the risk of transmission of this arbovirus. | pt_BR |
