NEW RECORDS OF MOSQUITO SPECIES FROM NORTHERN ARGENTINA.

Changes in the ecosystems of vector-borne diseases can make the environment more or less favorable for mosquito vectors, animal reservoirs, and disease transmission. We report for the 1st time Anopheles marajoara in Argentina. In addition, An.

New Records of Mosquitoes in Bolivia and Northwestern Argentina.

Two mosquito species, Culex (Culex) hepperi and Culex (Culex) maxi are reported for the first time for Bolivia, in Tarija department.

In addition, Aedes (Protomacleaya) alboapicus and Culex (Phytotelmatomyia) renatoi are reported for the first time in the northwestern region of Argentina.

Spatial-Temporal Analysis of Lutzomyia trapidoi and Lutzomyia reburra (Diptera: Phlebotominae), in Rural Tourist Locations, Biosphere Reserve and Leishmaniasis Endemic Area, Ecuador.

This research represents the first attempt to assess the spatial and temporal distribution based on micro-meso scales on two species with different host preference habits (anthropophilic vs zoophilic), in the major Leishmaniasis endemic area in Ecuador, tourist locations, and Biosphere reserve. Phlebotomine species, Lutzomyia trapidoi (Fairchild) and Lutzomyia reburra (Fairchild and Hertig), were analyzed by trap/habitat/month/locality/altitude, through the Poisson generalized regression model. Our data reveal a bimodal pattern for both species related with low precipitations and preference for forest habitat.
