REVISTA DA SOCIEDADE BRASILEIRA DE MEDICINA TROPICAL(2020)
摘要
Introduction: This study aimed to assess the occurrence of gonotrophic discordance in females of Culex quinquefasciatus in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Methods: Resting females were collected monthly for 8 months. Females of Cx. quinquefasciatus were identified, and their midgut and ovaries were dissected. Results: Two hundred females were dissected, out of which, 27.5% were nulliparous and 57% were parous. Most females had no blood in the midgut, but gonotrophic discordance was found in 21% females. Conclusions: Females of Cx. quinquefasciatus showed a high parity rate and gonotrophic discordance, which could favor the vector capacity of this species.
