In Brazil, the state of Pernambuco is considered an endemic area for many diseases vectored by mosquitoes, such as human and canine filariasis, caused by Wuchereria bancrofti and Dirofilaria immitis, respectively. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of immature forms of culicids, over an one-year period, in a specific area of northeastern region of Brazil. Culicids larvae were collected from traps located on the ground and in treetops, between october 2012 and september 2013. Ten different species of culicids were identified. The greatest number of larvae were collected in september 2013 and the lowest number in december 2012. Stegomyia (Stegomyia) albopicta (46.45%; 5,908\/12,718), Culex (Culex) maxi (35.56%; 4,523\/12,718) and Limatus durhamii (12.58%; 1,600\/12,718) were the most frequent species. The human and animal populations living in the study area are exposed to culicids and transmission agents throughout the year, especially after the rains. Therefore, control and prevention measures against culicids must be adopted in the study area.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1984-29612014046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,17]],"date-time":"2014-07-17T13:30:53Z","timestamp":1405603853000},"page":"200-205","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Occurrence
