Métodos de coletas de mosquitos (Diptera: Culicidae) alternativos ao de atração humana direta

Abstract

Some methods capture of mosquitoes already had been developed, demonstrating that it had an evolution of the types of the trap to the long one of the time, however none has shown to be comparable to the direct human attraction (AH). This work had for objective, to test the methods alternative, developed to collect mosquitoes, including the development of new techniques, that can substitute the traditional method of direct human attraction. The study it was developed next to “Parque Ambiental de Belém”, Pará state, Brazil. The used methods were: traps CDC, CDC UV, Shannon, trap developed by Rocha, trap developed by Gorayeb and collect for AH direct. The traps were installed in six points, for six consecutive nights. Were captured 13,099 specimens of Culicidae of seven genera and 27 species, being Anopheles trianulatus the most abundant. The direct human attraction, what it collected greater diversity and abundance of mosquitoes, followed of the Shannon’s trap for abundance and Gorayeb’s trap for diversity.
