Species of Anopheles (Diptera, Culicidae) collected in counties of risk and autochthonous cases of malaria in Goiás State, Brazil
From 1999 until 2006, we collected 2,867 specimens of 11 species of Anopheles in26 municipalities. Frequencies of Anopheles evansae, An. darlingi, An. albitarsis s.l.,An. argyritarsis, An. parvus, An. galvaoi, and An. oswaldoi were statistically equal,but significantly higher than those found for An...

| Sumario: | From 1999 until 2006, we collected 2,867 specimens of 11 species of Anopheles in26 municipalities. Frequencies of Anopheles evansae, An. darlingi, An. albitarsis s.l.,An. argyritarsis, An. parvus, An. galvaoi, and An. oswaldoi were statistically equal,but significantly higher than those found for An. mediopunctatus, An. maculipes, An.braziliensis, and An. kompi (p<0,05). An. darlingi and An. argyritarsis showed thelargest diversity. In the period studied 1,018 imported and 23 autochthonous caseswere reported. From the autochthonous cases, 21.7% were caused by Plasmodiumfalciparum and 78.3% by P. vivax. In relation to the imported cases, the frequency ofP. falciparum or P. vivax malaria was similar to that observed for the autochthonouscases, 27.2% and 72.8%, respectively. |
