ABSTRACT

Introduction: several vectorial transmitted diseases exhibit an important emergency or re-emergence in several regions of the planet, malaria among them.
Objective: to update information on species of Anopheles in Camagüey, aspect to consider for future epidemiological events.
Method: a descriptive retrospective study by a documentary review of the sample registration book was performed in the Medical Entomology provincial laboratory at the Surveillance and Vectors Control Provincial Unit of Camagüey. Larval an adult Anopheles screening was carried out through the Cuban norms established.
Results: the presence ofAnopheles Atropos in adult stage was reported in two seaside municipalities of Camagüey province: Nuevitas and Esmeralda. Three specimens were found, of them, two were females and one male.
Conclusions: due to sporadic report of An Atropos in Camagüey has received little attention from specialists, a great lack of knowledge on the species exist, which included the current distribution in the country. The action which exerts different environmental variables, like probable limiting or dispersive factors of An Atropos in the localities where they are reported, are under investigation.
