Abstract
Limatus durhamii: has wild habits with ecological plasticity in anthropized environments. We report the occurrence of this species in several types of artificial containers in 2 fragments of the Atlantic Forest in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. A total of 1,428 larvae were collected, in which plastic containers had the highest abundance of immature forms of Li. durhamii, with 579 (40.5%) specimens collected, followed by glass bottles with 464 (32.5%) and metal cans with 223 (15.6%). The high abundance of Li. durhamii in artificial containers points to an adaptation process to impacted environments. Therefore, studies that investigate the feeding habits and vectorial capacity of this species are essential to understanding its epidemiological role in the environment.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association (JAMCA) encourages the submission
of previously unpublished manuscripts contributing to the advancement of knowledge of
mosquitoes and other arthropod vectors. The Journal encourages submission of a wide range of
scientific studies that include all aspects of biology, ecology, systematics, and integrated pest
management. Manuscripts exceeding normal length (e. g., monographs) may be accepted for
publication as a supplement to the regular issue.
