ABSTRACT

Background: One of the main environmental concerns facing the Dominican Republic is the deficiency in the management of urban solid waste. The contamination of waste in public and private spaces, the absence of classification systems, the lack of public policies and the scarcity of public awareness represent a great challenge for municipalities. The collection and inadequate disposal of garbage not only produces a strong environmental deterioration but also contributes to the proliferation of pests, among which mosquitoes (Diptera, Culicidae) stand out. Objective: To deepen on the different species of culicids that are associated to urban solid waste in public spaces. Material and methods: The study was conducted in the municipality of Jarabacoa, province of La Vega. Pre-imaginal mosquito stages were sampled and the different wastes were categorized, studying their specific productivity in terms of diversity and relative abundance. Results: The accumulation of waste in public spaces allowed the proliferation of species such as Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (transmitters of dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses), or Culex quinquefasciatus (transmitter of West Nile virus and lymphatic filariasis), which use the trash as a reservoir for the development of their immature forms. Conclusion: Several mosquito species of vector relevance colonize different types of urban solid waste, therefore it is recommended to strengthen preventive measures with educational strategies and undertake a more thorough cleaning of public spaces, in order to reduce the health risks related to the presence of these insects.
