Some taxa are also considered to be indicators of environmental health. Despite the importance of understanding insect abundance and distribution to the understanding of disease dynamics and design strategies to manage them, very little is known about their ecology in many tropical regions. We studied the abundance and diversity of mosquitoes and sand flies in the Bahia State of Brazil, a point of origin for arbovirus outbreaks, including Zika and Chikungunya fever. During 2009-2014, 51 mosquito taxa were identified, belonging to three dipteran families, Ceratopogonidae, Culicidae, and Psychodidae. The family Culicidae, including the Sabethini tribe, were the most abundant (81.5%) and most taxa-rich (n=45).

  • Identification Keys to the Anopheles Mosquitoes of South America
    Sallum et al. Parasites Vectors (2020) 13:583 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-020-04298-6 Parasites & Vectors RESEARCH Open Access Identifcation keys to the Anopheles mosquitoes of South America (Diptera: Culicidae). I. Introduction Maria Anice Mureb Sallum1*, Ranulfo González Obando2, Nancy Carrejo2 and Richard C. Wilkerson3,4,5 Abstract Background: The worldwide genus Anopheles Meigen, 1918 is the only genus containing species evolved as vectors of human and simian malaria. Morbidity and mortality caused by Plasmodium Marchiafava & Celli, 1885 is tremendous, which has made these parasites and their vectors the objects of intense research aimed at mosquito identifcation, malaria control and elimination. DNA tools make the identifcation of Anopheles species both easier and more difcult. Easier in that putative species can nearly always be separated based on DNA data; more difcult in that attaching a scientifc name to a species is often problematic because morphological characters are often difcult to interpret or even see; and DNA technology might not be available and afordable. Added to this are the many species that are either not yet recognized or are similar to, or identical with, named species. The frst step in solving Anopheles identi- fcation problem is to attach a morphology-based formal or informal name to a specimen. These names are hypoth- eses to be tested with further morphological observations and/or DNA evidence. The overarching objective is to be able to communicate about a given species under study. In South America, morphological identifcation which is the frst step in the above process is often difcult because of lack of taxonomic expertise and/or inadequate identifca- tion keys, written for local fauna, containing the most consequential species, or obviously, do not include species described subsequent to key publication.

  • Identification Key to the Anopheles Mosquitoes of South America (Diptera: Culicidae). III. Male Genitalia
    Sallum et al. Parasites Vectors (2020) 13:542 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-020-04300-1 Parasites & Vectors RESEARCH Open Access Identifcation key to the Anopheles mosquitoes of South America (Diptera: Culicidae). III. Male genitalia Maria Anice Mureb Sallum1*, Ranulfo González Obando2, Nancy Carrejo2 and Richard C. Wilkerson3,4,5 Abstract Background: Accurate identifcation of the species of Anopheles Meigen, 1818 requires careful examination of all life stages. However, morphological characters, especially those of the females and fourth-instar larvae, show some degree of polymorphism and overlap among members of species complexes, and sometimes even within progenies. Characters of the male genitalia are structural and allow accurate identifcation of the majority of species, excluding only those in the Albitarsis Complex. In this key, based on the morphology of the male genitalia, traditionally used important characters are exploited together with additional characters that allow robust identifcation of male Anoph- eles mosquitoes in South America. Methods: Morphological characters of the male genitalia of South American species of the genus Anopheles were examined and employed to construct a comprehensive, illustrated identifcation key. For those species for which specimens were not available, illustrations were based on published illustrations. Photographs of key characters of the genitalia were obtained using a digital Canon Eos T3i attached to a light Diaplan Leitz microscope. The program Helicon Focus was used to build single in-focus images by stacking multiple images of the same structure. Results: An illustrated key to South American species of Anopheles based on the morphology of the male genitalia is presented, together with a glossary of morphological terms.

  • (Diptera: Culicidae). II. Fourth-Instar Larvae
    Sallum et al. Parasites Vectors (2020) 13:582 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-020-04299-5 Parasites & Vectors RESEARCH Open Access Identifcation keys to the Anopheles mosquitoes of South America (Diptera: Culicidae). II. Fourth-instar larvae Maria Anice Mureb Sallum1*, Ranulfo González Obando2, Nancy Carrejo2 and Richard C. Wilkerson3,4,5 Abstract Background: Accurate species identifcation of South American anophelines using morphological characters of the fourth-instar larva is problematic, because of the lack of up-to-date identifcation keys. In addition, taxonomic studies, employing scanning electron microscopy of the eggs and DNA sequence data, have uncovered multiple complexes of morphologically similar species, and resulted in the resurrection of other species from synonymy, mainly in the subgenus Nyssorhynchus. Consequently, the identifcation keys urgently need to be updated to provide accurate morphological tools to identify fourth-instar larvae of all valid species and species complexes. Methods: Morphological characters of the fourth-instar larvae of South American species of the genus Anopheles were examined and employed to elaborate a fully illustrated identifcation key. For species for which no specimens were available, illustrations were based on published literature records. Results: A fully illustrated key to the fourth-instar larvae of South American species of the genus Anopheles (Diptera: Culicidae) is presented. Defnitions of the morphological terms used in the key are provided and illustrated. Conclusions: Morphological identifcation of South American Anopheles species based on the fourth-instar larvae has been updated. Characters of the spiracular apparatus were determined useful for the identifcation of morpholog- ically similar species, in the Strodei Group and some taxa in the Myzorhynchella Section.

Many of the publications include descriptive information in addition to the illustrations of the egg, however, some descriptions are very brief. Descriptive information on eggs sometimes is included in keys. The identification of anopheline species, subspecies, varieties, races, synonyms, etc. utilized in the cited literature is reported in the following list. Qu & Zhu (2008) provided recent information on several species that had been synonymized or resurrected from synonymy. The latest listing of currently valid species and generic-level taxa reported in the Mosquito Taxonomic Inventory (http://mosquito-taxonomic-inventory.info, accessed 30 June 2010) was utilized.
