Abstract

We intend to investigate whether the DNA against the rate of Plasmodium sp. in mosquitoes is associated with the frequency of malaria in an endemic area of ​​the disease, located on the outskirts of the Municipality of Manaus.

This is an Ecological Study to be held on extensions of Brasileirinho, the Puraquequara and Ipiranga. It will include collections of adult mosquitoes inside the home, using entomological electric vacuum cleaner and the BG-Sentinel® trap. The identification of the species of mosquitoes will be conducted using dichotomous keys and will study the frequency and diversity of the species of mosquitoes found.
