Abstract

REZENDE, Helder Ricas. Anophelines Larvae (Diptera: Culicidae) found in artificial containers in the Northwest Region of Espirito Santo State, Brazil. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2009, vol.18, n.2, pp.189-192. ISSN 1679-4974.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/S1679-49742009000200010.

Anophelines larvae are found in water reservoirs, barrels, bottles, tires and plant pots in the Northwest Region of Espirito Santo State, Brazil. The larvae were collected between 2000 and 2005 during Aedes aegypti control activities. Artificial containers discarded by the population become options for oviposition mainly after the drying of the natural breeding sites in that region of low rainfall.

Keywords : anophelines; artificial containers; urbanization; Espirito Santo State.
