Abstract
This study investigated the composition of mosquito species in different kinds of breeding
sites in a tropical forest remnant of the Atlantic Forest and identified species of public health
concern therein. Collections of immature forms of mosquitoes were carried out monthly at
the Poc¸o das Antas Biological Reserve in southeastern Brazil, between June 2014 and
June 2015. Samples were collected from four types of breeding sites: bamboos, bromeliads,
puddles, and a lake. A total of 1,182 specimens of mosquitoes belonging to 28 species and
13 genera were collected. Three species, Ad. squamipennis, An. neglectus, and Wy.
arthrostigma represented 64.8% of the captured specimens. Only three species were found
in more than one type of breeding site: Ps. ferox, An. triannulatus, and Tx. trichopygus. Two
species of public health concern were found breeding in bamboo (Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus)
and one in the lake (An. darlingi). Bamboo had the highest species richness, Shannon
diversity, abundance of individuals and number of dominant species of all breeding
sites. Similar Simpson diversity was obtained for bamboo and bromeliads, with higher values
than those obtained for puddles and the lake. The significance of the four breeding
sites, especially bamboos, is discussed in the context of controlling populations of sylvatic
species of mosquitoes in Atlantic Forest areas.
