Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in Aedes aegypti(Diptera: Culicidae) container productivity in a slum and a suburban district of Rio de Janeiro during dry and wet seasons
Rafael Maciel-de-Freitas,William de Almeida Marques,Roberto C. Peres,Sérgio P Cunha,Ricardo Lourenço de Oliveira +4 more
TL;DR: Seasonal variation in container productivity and infestation levels by Aedes aegypti were evaluated in two areas with distinct levels of urbanization degrees in Rio de Janeiro, a slum and a suburban neighborhood, giving potential support to a more focused and cost-effective Ae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large genetic differentiation and low variation in vector competence for dengue and yellow fever viruses of Aedes albopictus from Brazil, the United States, and the Cayman Islands.
TL;DR: The authors conducted a population genetic analysis of Aedes albopictus collected from 20 sites in Brazil, the United States (Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and Illinois), and the Cayman Islands using isoenzyme analysis, and found high genetic differentiation was found among Brazilian samples, and between them and North American samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urgent call for action: avoiding spread and re-urbanisation of yellow fever in Brazil.
Cristina de Albuquerque Possas,Reinaldo de Menezes Martins,Ricardo Lourenço de Oliveira,Akira Homma +3 more
TL;DR: The rapid spread of YF cases in Brazil has led to a major concern: infections were no longer reported just in the jungle and remote inland rural areas, but sylvatic transmission also occurred in the surroundings of the most densely populated cities in the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Bahia, and Rio de Janeiro.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bromeliad-inhabiting mosquitoes in an urban botanical garden of dengue endemic Rio de Janeiro - Are bromeliads productive habitats for the invasive vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus?
Márcio Goulart Mocellin,Taynãna César Simões,Teresa Fernandes Silva do Nascimento,Maria Lucia Teixeira,L. P. Lounibos,Ricardo Lourenço de Oliveira +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that bromeliads are not important producers of Ae.
Journal ArticleDOI
The entomopathogenic potential of Aspergillus spp. in mosquitoes vectors of tropical diseases.
Aurea Maria Lage de Moraes,Gisela Lara da Costa,Mariangela Ziccardi de Camargo Barcellos,Ricardo Lourenço de Oliveira,Pedrina Cunha de Oliveira +4 more
TL;DR: Eleven strains of the most frequent Aspergillus species found in a survey of Brazilian mosquitoes collected in the states of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro were used for bioassays in second-stage larvae of Aedes fluviatilis and Culex quinquefasciatus, causing mortality in at least 80% of the larvae of the two mosquito species tested.
