RESUMO

Abstract INTRODUCTION: The muscoid fly Dermatobia hominis causes cutaneous myiases in mammals. Females of this species use a vector to carry their eggs to the host. This note describes Anopheles konderi acting as phoretic vector for D. hominis. METHODS: A female A. konderi carrying D. hominis was collected using light traps in Oriximiná, Pará, Brazil. The A. konderi specimen was identified at morphological and molecular levels. RESULTS: Eight eggs of D. hominis were observed on the Anopheles konderi female. CONCLUSIONS: Anopheles konderi, only the third Anopheles species recorded as a phoretic vector, may be a potential vector of D. hominis.
