Abstract
A study of crepuscular and night-biting mosquitoes was conducted at remote settlements along the Padauiri
River, middle Negro River, state of Amazonas, Brazil. Collections were performed with human bait and a CDC-light
trap on three consecutive days per month from June 2003-May 2004. In total, 1,203 h of collection were performed,
of which 384 were outside and 819 were inside houses. At total of 11,612 specimens were captured, and Anophelinae
(6.01%) were much less frequent than Culicinae (93.94%). Anopheles darlingi was the most frequent Anophelinae
collected. Among the culicines, 2,666 Culex (Ae.) clastrieri Casal & Garcia, 2,394 Culex. (Mel.) vomerifer Komp,
and 1,252 Culex (Mel.) eastor Dyar were the most frequent species collected. The diversity of insects found reveals
the receptivity of the area towards a variety of diseases facilitated by the presence of vectors involved in the transmission
of Plasmodium, arboviruses and other infectious agents.
