Resumen
Introduction: Findings of immature forms of Coquillettidia venezuelensis in
temporary breeding sites, without the presence of aquatic plants or other
submerged plant tissue are reported. Methods: A systematic scooping
technique to collect specimens was used at the breeding site. Results:
Immature forms of Coquillettidia venezuelensis, Anopheles rangeli, An. evansae
and Culex sp. were collected from areas of the hydroelectric power station of
São Salvador, State of Goiás. Conclusions: This is a novel finding relating
to the bioecology of Cq. venezuelensis, a species of medical interest that has
been found naturally infected with arboviruses, including Oropouche and
West Nile virus.
