mosquito species, diversity, arbovirus, malaria, Jarabacoa, Dominican RepublicAbstract
In the Dominican Republic, mosquito-borne diseases are very interesting due to their great medical relevance. The present research deepens on the diversity of the culicids existing in the municipality of Jarabacoa, in order to update the information on these dipterans and their main breeding sites, natural and artificial. For this purpose, immature stages of mosquitoes were collected by dipping method; plastic pipettes were used for small breeding sites. Sample were identified under a magnifying glass, or under a binocular microscope, with the help of specific taxonomic keys. Sixteen species belonging to the genus Aedes Meigen, 1818, Anopheles Meigen, 1818, Culex Linnaeus, 1758, Toxorhynchites Theobald, 1901, Uranotaenia Lynch Arribálzaga, 1891 and Wyeomyia Theobald, 1901 were collected, on which diverse questions about their bioecology and role on pathogen transmission of medical importance were analyzed. Culex biscaynensis Zavortink & O’Meara, 1999 is recorded for the first time for the Caribbean islands and the number of mosquito species in the country rises to 50.
