چکیده

Two larvae of Aedes scapularis were found in an artificial breeding site, in the Sertaneja County, North of the Paraná State, South Brazil, in the course of routine work for the control of dengue vectors. Aedes. Ecology, vectors. Rev. Saúde Pública, 30 (1): 103-4, 1996 103 104 Rev. Saúde Pública, 30 (1) 1996 Aedes scapularis em criadouro artificial Silva, A. M. da & Menezes, R. M. T. de posição vertical, totalmente aberta na face superior, encontrava-se em terreno gramado plano e sem depressões, com outros recipientes que teriam sido descartados junto a um posto fiscal, localizado no km 458 da rodovia citada. Diante desta constatação, torna-se importante observar se recipientes artificiais tendem a apresentar potencial de criação para Aedes scapularis, a exemplo dos criadouros nos quais a espécie é habitualmente encontrada. Um novo comportamento da espécie abriria perspectivas para investigações.
