A little modification was made on the classical Borel tube, used for rearing isolated females of mosquitoes. The first studies were realized with the main Yellow fever vector, Haemagogus janthinomys, in Brazil. The results are: a better survival, as far as 72 days, a greater number of eggs, up to 80, and a shorter trophogonic cycle of 7-8 days. So, one can imagine more easily further studies about the vertical transmission of the YF virus by this important neo-tropical mosquito.

Diverse larval habitats significantly influence female mosquito oviposition. Utilizing traps that simulate these habitats is helpful in the study of the bioecology and characteristics of pathogen-transmitting species during oviposition. This study evaluated the feasibility of different traps in natural environments by comparing sampling methods and detecting the oviposition of epidemiologically important mosquitoes, with emphasis on species, in a fragment of the Atlantic Forest in Silva Jardim, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil.

In the Americas, wild yellow fever (WYF) is an infectious disease that is highly lethal for some non-human primate species and non-vaccinated people. Specifically, in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, and mosquitoes act as the major vectors. Despite transmission risk being related to vector densities, little is known about how landscape structure affects vector abundance and movement.

Article Synopsis
- Forest edges in the Amazon, influenced by urban, rural, and natural land types, play a key role in the interaction between humans, wildlife, and mosquitoes that can spread diseases.
- Researchers studied how these different types of edges affect mosquito communities, finding that rural edges had the highest diversity of species and supported many forest-dependent mosquitoes.
- The study highlights how the surrounding landscape impacts the risk of disease transmission at forest edges, indicating that not all forest edges are equal in terms of ecological interactions.

Background: Mayaro virus (MAYV) is an emerging alphavirus, primarily transmitted by the mosquito Haemagogus janthinomys in Central and South America. However, recent studies have shown that Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus and various Anopheles mosquitoes can also transmit the virus under laboratory conditions. MAYV causes sporadic outbreaks across the South American region, particularly in areas near forests.
