Resumen en ingles
Introduction: Mosquitoes are vectors of several pathogens in tropical regions. However, information on Culicidae in the
northeast region of Brazil is scarce despite many municipalities having environmental conditions favorable for these insects.
Methods: We collected mosquitoes monthly for one year from urban, ecotonal, and ecological reserve areas in Moreno, Brazil,
by using CDC Miniature light traps, aspiration, ovitraps, and liquid suction. Results: We collected 1,401 insects in the Culicidae
family. Fifteen species of seven genera of Culicidae were identified and five specimens were identified only at the genus level.
Conclusions: There is a wide diversity of mosquito species in the sampled areas, some of which are important for human health.
