Abstract

JUAN CARLOS, Navarro; PONCE, Patricio  and  CEVALLOS, Varsovia. Two new records of potential Sylvan Yellow Fever and Mayaro species vectors from Ecuador. Bol Mal Salud Amb [online]. 2013, vol.53, n.1, pp.77-81. ISSN 1690-4648.

Two  new  records  of  mosquitoes  (Diptera: Culicidae) are presented from Ecuador, and both potential vectors  of  yellow  fever  virus  and  Mayaro.  Sabethes amazonicus  Gordon  and  Evans  and  Haemagogus anastasionis  Dyar  adults  were  collected  in  a  locality  in the  province  of  Zamora-Chinchipe,  in  which  there  have been cases of yellow fever previously. This finding shows the importance of further studies of baseline vector in the country, geographical distribution and ecological aspects and  possible  epidemiological  link  with  emerging  and  re-emerging diseases.

Keywords : Alphavirus; Culicidae; emerging  diseases; Flaviviridae; Haemagogus; Sabethes.
