| Abstract | The stomach contents of culicids from the Atlantic Forest in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil,
were analyzed using the precipitin technique to evaluate the feeding patterns of the species. Sampling
was performed from February 2012 to December 2013, using CO2-baited Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention traps to catch mosquitoes from 15 00 to 07 00 hours. The following antisera were used:
bird, rodent, opossum, human, horse, capybara, lizard, and frog. Of the 325 adult bloodfed females
caught and analyzed, 273 (84.0%) reacted in the precipitin test. The percentage of specimens with a positive
reaction to a single antiserum included bird (39.2%), rodent (22.5%), opossum (13.2%), capybara
(6.6%), horse (5.7%), frog (6.2%), human (4.0%), and lizard (2.6%). The specimens that reacted positively
against more than one blood source (46) most frequently presented the following combinations:
birdþrodent and birdþfrog (17.4%), followed by birdþhuman (13.0%). The predominance of positive
results for birds suggested that the avian-rich environment might have influenced the feeding behavior
of the culicids. | pt_BR |
