  ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of ZIKV infection on the locomotor activity of a Brazilian population of Ae. albopictus under laboratory conditions. METHODS: Females of Ae. albopictus were infected with ZIKV by intrathoracic injection or orally. The locomotor activity was monitored using a Drosophila activity monitor under controlled conditions of 25°C and a 12-h light/dark …

• Abstract

  Dengue, Zika and chikungunya are arboviruses of great importance for Public Health, being transmitted mainly by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. In Brazil, Aedes albopictus is considered a potential vector of these arboviruses, which makes better knowledge about the behavior of this species essential. For the control of Ae. aegypti, the methods mainly used are mechanical and chemical, which is…

  Insecticide resistance, sensitivity to N,N-diethylmethylbenzamide (DEET) and locomotor activity of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (Diptera:Culicidae), AP.R

• Abstract

  Ae. aegypti is considered the main vector of dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses in Brazil. In addition, Aedes albopictus is considered a potential vector of these three arboviruses. The longevity of mosquito vectors is closely related to the parity of the female, which can be determined by observing the tracheiolas which oxygenate ovaries, whereas gonotrophic discordance is related to o…

• Abstract

  Arboviruses (Arthropod-borne virus) are viruses transmitted by arthropods and maintained in nature, mainly through biological transmission between susceptible vertebrate hosts and hematophagous arthropod vectors. In Brazil, there is the circulation of arboviruses important for public health, belonging to three main families: Flaviviridae, Togaviridae and Bunyaviridae. The main urban arbov…

  Virological investigation in mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) from the state of São Paulo and the effect of Zika virus infection on the locomotor activity of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus under laboratory conditions., BP.DR

• Abstract

  In general, insects are characterized as diurnal, nocturnal and crepuscular because they restrict their daily activities, such as flight, oviposition and feeding, at certain times of the day. Aedes aegypti Linnaeus, 1762 is considered a diurnal mosquito, with main peaks of activity at dawn and dusk. However, some physiological variations may alter the activity of this species, such as ins…

  Effect of chikungunya virus infection on the locomotor activity of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae), BP.IC

• Abstract

  In Brazil, the mosquito Aedes aegypti is considered the main vector of the dengue virus, chikungunya and Zika, being highly associated to humans and their habitations. Another mosquito - Aedes albopictus - is also widely distributed throughout the country and can not be neglected, it has great medical importance because is considered a potential vector of these three arboviruses. Worldwid…
