Description
Abstract
Se han capturado 1.106 ejemplares larvarios de culícidos pertenecientes
a 12 especies en la Comarca del Somontano de Barbastro,
de las cuales dos (Culex impudicus y Cx. territans) se citan por primera
en la provincia de Huesca. Pese a que la especie más abundante
fue Cx. pipiens, desde un punto de vista epidemiológico señalar
la elevada presencia de mosquitos del género Anopheles,
potenciales vectores de la malaria, en diversas regiones de la comarca.
Especialmente relevante es la destacada densidad que
presenta An. atroparvus, importante vector palúdico, en biotopos
concretos de la región más meridional del área de estudio. Adicionalmente,
también se han detectado especies muy antropofílicas,
como Cx. modestus u Ochlerotatus caspius, que pueden ocasionar
episodios molestos para la población humana circundante a sus
criaderos larvarios. En definitiva, se aporta información bioecológica,
biogeográfica y epidemiológica de las capturas de este grupo
de insectos de máximo interés sanitario en la Comarca del Somontano.
ABSTRACT: This research has allowed the collection of 1106 larval exemplars of culicid mosquitoes and the identification of 12 species in the Region of Somontano de Barbastro (Northeastern Spain). Two of twelve species collected, Culex impudicus y Cx. territans, are firstly reported from the Province of Huesca. Although Cx. pipiens has been the most abundant species of the study, from an epidemiological point of view it must be noted that some species of Anopheles genus were detected in high densities. Especially interesting were some the findings of the main malaria vector in Europe, An. atroparvus, which even was the dominant species in several environments. Moreover, information about biotopes of higly antropophylic species responsible of potential nuisances to human population, like Cx. modestus or Ochlerotatus caspius, are also provided.
