1. Assessing the mitochondrial DNA diversity of the Chagas disease vector Triatoma sordida (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
Triatoma sordida is a species that transmits Trypanosoma cruzi to humans. In Brazil, T. sordida currently deserves special attention because of its wide distribution, tendency to invade domestic environments and vectorial competence. For the planning and execution of control protocols to be effective against Triatominae, they must consider its population str

2. An overview of malaria transmission from the perspective of Amazon Anopheles vectors
In the Americas, areas with a high risk of malaria transmission are mainly located in the Amazon Forest, which extends across nine countries. One keystone step to understanding the Plasmodium life cycle in Anopheles species from the Amazon Region is to obtain experimentally infected mosquito vectors. Several attempts to colonise Ano- pheles species have been

3. Vector biology prospects in dengue research
We argue that using more natural blood feeding methods to study mosquito vector competence for dengue viruses and exploring the effect of viral infection on other mosquito life-history traits that influence vectorial capacity will significantly advance our understanding of dengue epidemiology.

4. Estudo da capacidade vetorial de Migonemya migonei (França) e de Pintomya fischeri (Pinto) (Diptera: Psychodidae) para Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi Cunha &Chagas / Study of the vectorial capacity of Migonemyia migonei (França) and of Pintomyia fischeri (Pinto) (Diptera: Psychodidae) as regards Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi Cunha &Chagas
Introduction - Visceral leishmaniasis has been affecting canine and human populations in various urban centers in São Paulo state and the area of its distribution has been growing steadily. Since its introduction into the state, the infection has been identified in canine and feline populations of Greater São Paulo. Differently from other areas, where the

5. Contribuição para o controle da Leishmaniose Visceral: atividade inseticida de plantas sobre Lutzomyia longipalpis (LUTZ E NEIVA, 1912). / Contribution to the Visceral Leishmaniasis Control: Insecticidal activity of plants on Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz and Neiva, 1912).
Visceral leishmaniasis is currently a public health and urban health problem. Lu. longipalpis is the most important visceral leishmaniasis vector in the Americas, and is certainly the only sand fly species that meets all the established criteria for vectorial competence, highlighting those that are considered essential, like anthropophilia, spatial distribut

6. Proven and putative vectors of American cutaneous leishmaniasis in Brazil: aspects of their biology and vectorial competence
The aim of the present review is to give relevant information on aspects of the biology and ecology, including the vectorial competence of Lutzomyia sand fly species suggested as vectors of American cutaneous leishmaniasis in Brazil. The disease, due to Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis, has been registered in most municipalities in all the Brazilian states

7. Estudos sobre a competencia vetorial de populações de mosquitos (Diptera, Culiciade) da região metropolitana do Recife, Pernambuco e de Campinas, São Paulo, Brasil, para Dirofilaria immitis (Nematoda, Onchocercidae) / Vectorial competence studies of mosquitoes populations (Diptera, Culiciade) of Metropolitan Region of Recife, Pernambuco and Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil to Dirofilaria immitis (Nematoda, Onchocercidae)
Mosquitos pertencentes aos gêneros Culex, Aedes, Anopheles, Mansonia, Psorophora e Coquillettidia são susceptíveis à infecção por Dirofilaria immitis (Leidy, 1856), podendo transmitir o filarídeo aos cães e gatos. Os vetores de D. immitis no Brasil são conhecidos apenas nos Estados do Rio de Janeiro e do Maranhão, fazendo-se necessária a investiga

8. Triatoma rubrovaria (Blanchard, 1843) (Hemiptera - Reduviidae - Triatominae) IV: bionomic aspects on the vector capacity of nymphs
Triatoma rubrovaria has become the most frequently captured triatomine species since the control of T. infestans in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil. The aim of this study was to evaluate aspects of the vectorial competence of T. rubrovaria using nymphs raised in laboratory under environmental conditions of temperature and humidity and fed on mice

9. Estudos de algumas populações brasileiras de Lutzomyia (Nyssomyia) whitmani s.l. (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae), importante transmissor de agentes da leishmaniose tegumentar americana / Studies of some Brazilian populations of Lutzomyia (Nyssomyia) whitmani s.l. (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae), important transmitter of agents of American cutaneous leishmaniasis
Lutzomyia (Nyssomyia) whitmani s.l. (Antunes &Coutinho 1939) has a large distribution in Brazil, being registered in all geographic regions. In American continent this specie was found in French Guyana, Paraguay, Peru and Argentina. In Brazil its incriminated as a vector of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis and Leishmania (Viannia) shawi.

11. Feeding and defaecation behaviour of Triatoma patagonica (Del Ponte, 1929) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
Among the vectors of Chagas disease, Triatoma patagonica is a species in the process of adaptation to the human environment being recently registered in urban and suburban zones. However, its importance as a vector of Chagas disease is unknown. The aim of this work was to evaluate two aspects of vectorial competence: the feeding behaviour and the defaecation

12. Vectorial competence of Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus 1762) Rio de Janeiro Strain, to Dirofilaria immitis (Leidy 1856)
Dirofilaria immitis (Leidy 1856), a nematode parasite, is the etiologic agent of canine heartworm disease and mosquitoes are essential intermediate hosts. Mosquito susceptibility to the worms differ with species, strains and also among individuals of the same strain. To evaluate the degree of susceptibility of Rio de Janeiro laboratory raised strain of Aedes
