Title in Portuguese
Hábito alimentar de Aedes aegypti e Culex quinquefasciatus e sua implicação na capacidade reprodutiva
Keywords in Portuguese
Aedes aegypti

Hábito Alimentar
Abstract in Portuguese
O estudo de hábito alimentar de espécies vetaras de doenças, ou potencialmente vetoras, indica os organismos envolvidos na transmissão e manutenção das doenças. Com a expansão de áreas urbanas e consequente aglomeração humana, como acontece no município de Marília, criou-se ambiente propício para a criação de mosquitos adaptados à essa situação. Esse trabalho teve por objetivo caracterizar o hábito alimentar de culicídeos capturados em área urbana do município de Marília e relacionar com o nível socioeconômico. A técnica utilizada para a identificação do hábito alimentar foi o ELISA (Enzyme Linked lmmunosorbent Assay) considerando quatro hospedeiros (humano, cão, ave e roedor). Entre as espécies coletadas com maior frequência estavam os Aedes aegypti e Culex quinquefasciatus. Em laboratório foram testados os aspectos da capacidade reprodutiva para fêmeas dessas espécies, alimentadas artificialmente com sangue dos mesmos hospedeiros observados em campo. As espécies coexistem em toda a área mesmo em diferentes níveis socioeconômicos. A não concorrência pode ser explicada por apresentarem perfis hematofágicos distintos. Diferentemente do Ae. aegypti, o Cx. quinquefasciatus é espécie eclética quanto as fontes de hematofagia, no entanto apresentou maior frequência de repastas sanguíneos em roedores. Os Ae. aegypti se mostraram essencialmente antropofílicos.

Feeding Habits
Abstract in English
The study of the feeding habits of vectors diseases species, or potentially vectors species, indicates the organisms involved in the maintenance and transmission of diseases. With the expansion of urban areas and consequent overcrowding, as occurs in Marília city, an adapted environment for breeding mosquitoes was created. This study aimed to characterize the feeding habits of mosquitoes captured in urban region of Marília and correlate with socioeconomic status. ELISA (Enzyme Linked lmmunosorbent Assay) was the technique used to identify the mosquitoes feeding habits, considering four hosts (human, dog, bird and rodent). The most frequently collected species were Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus. Aspects of reproductive capacity in females of these species were tested in laboratory through artificially feeding, with blood of the field observed hosts. The mosquitoes species coexist in the whole area, even in different socioeconomic levels. The absence of competition can be explained by differences in hematophagous profiles. Although Cx. quinquefasciatus is an eclectic specie in blood sources, in opposite of Ae. aegypti, a high frequency of biting in rodents was observed. Ae. aegypti showed a mainly anthropophilic biting activity.
