ABSTRACT:

An important element of vector control and surveillance of mosquito-borne diseases is updated information on vector species distribution. The aim of this study was to collect available information about mosquito species reported in Extremadura between 1920 and 2020 and create a catalog that would combine both published data and our recent field identifications. An exhaustive list is hereby presented, including species status and detailed distribution maps at a municipal level as well as their importance for public health. A total of 33 species, classified into five genera: Anopheles (five species), Aedes (14), Culex (nine), Culiseta (four), and Orthopodomyia (one) has been recorded, including 31 autochthonous, one invasive, Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus, and one disappeared since 1953, Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti. For the first time in Extremadura, we report the presence of important vectors such as Aedes (Aedimorphus) vexans vexans and Culex (Culex) perexiguus, and the new record of six species in the province of Badajoz, namely: Aedes (Dahliana) echinus, Aedes (Fredwardsius) vittatus, Aedes (Ochlerotatus) berlandi, Aedes (Ochlerotatus) pulcritarsis, Culex (Culex) mimeticus, and Culiseta (Culiseta) subochrea. Nineteen of these species are potential vectors of medical and veterinary relevance.

GHTM Sessions 2022 CCID08 » Double session » “Diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii colonization in preterm newborns and molecular characterization of infection” and “Should the diagnosis of Encephalitozoon cuniculi be undertaken during inflammation?”

“Diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii colonization in preterm newborns and molecular characterization of infection”;
by Magdalena Szydłowicz, Biotechnologist, currently assistant professor at Wroclaw Medical University (Poland). Scientific interests include identification and molecular characterization of opportunistic pathogens’ infections in various risk groups, mainly Pneumocystis jirovecii.

And

“Should the diagnosis of Encephalitozoon cuniculi be undertaken during inflammation?”;
by Marta Kicia, Associate professor in the Department of Biology and Medical Parasitology, Wroclaw Medical University, biotechnologist. Current research interests focus on detection and molecular characterization of opportunistic pathogens, including microsporidia, Pneumocystis jirovecii and Cryptosporidium spp. in humans and animals.
