Resumen
BOND, J Guillermo et al. Diversity and potential distribution of culicids of medical importance of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2020, vol.62, n.4, pp.379-387. Epub 16-Mayo-2022. ISSN 0036-3634. https://doi.org/10.21149/11208.
Objective:
To determine the species distribution, abundance, and diversity of culicids in the Yucatan Peninsula (YP); their potential distribution, using ecological niche modeling (ENM), and the risk of contact with urban and rural populations.
Materials and methods:
A cross-sectional study was carried out through the YP. The diversity of species was determined with the Shannon index. The potential distribution of the culicids was determined through the ENM, as well as the risk of urban and rural populations through contact with vectors.
Results:
A total of 10 699 specimens, 15 genera and 52 species were registered. Campeche and the Biosphere Reserve of Calakmul exhibited the highest diversity.
Conclusions:
The ENM predict a high suitability in all the YP of Ae. aegypti, An. albimanus, An. pseudopuntipennis, Cx. coronator, and Cx. quinquefasciatus. The vector species that exhibited the highest risk of contact in the YP were Cx. quinquefasciatus, Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus.
