| Abstract | We present the identiÞcation of bloodfeeding sources of Haemagogus (Haemagogus)
capricornii Lutz and Haemagogus (Conopostegus) leucocelaenus (Dyar & Shannon) (Diptera: Culicidae)
from different regions of Brazil, as analyzed by precipitin tests. Anti-sera for bird, bovine, equine,
human, opossum, and rodent were used. Two hundred one mosquitoes were examined (147 Hg.
leucocelaenus and 54 Hg. capricornii), of which 177 reacted for some anti-serum. For Hg. leucocelaenus,
86 (68.3%) reacted to one blood source, 38 (30.2%) to two sources, and two (1.6%) to three sources;
the combinations of bird human (18.4%), bird rodent (15.8%), and bird marsupial (15.8%) were
the most frequent. For Hg. capricornii, 34 (66.7%) reacted to one blood source; combinations bird
rodent (37.5%) and bird marsupial (25%) were the most frequent combinations. Mosquito preference
for bloodfeeding sources was different in these areas, possibly because of the availability of
sources. This diversity of sources can have important epidemiological implications. | pt_BR |
