Levantamento de vetores patogênicos ao homem no baixo Rio Bonito

Abstract

Insects are the most abundant and important biological agents in nature, where in the ecosystems, is available a wide variety of food sources from which they supply their energy. This study aims to analyze the communities of vectors in ten sample points in the lower Rio Bonito, in the municipality of Arenópolis - Goiás, conducting a survey of the insect fauna with emphasis on vectors and their possible transmission of diseases. Six campaigns indicated the presence of 39 species of insect vectors in the sampled area, belonging to five families and two order. One of the largest conservation priorities is the description and valuation of the biodiversity and in this context, taxonomic inventories obtained in this study represent a data set, of the fauna of vectors, extremely valuable. Our studies have shown that the dipteran vectors fauna found at the site contains genera of great interest to the medical entomology.
