dc.description.abstract | Costa Rica is an endemic country for several arboviruses. Ostional is a costal district located in northwest Costa Rica (Figure 1) where wet and dry seasons are clearly marked and with a landscape mainly constituted of tropical dry forest and cattle ranches. Recently, human and equine outbreaks of several arboviruses have occurred in Ostional and its surroundings. Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya have been reported in the last two years. Zoonotic arboviruses as West Nile Virus (WNV), Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus (VEEV) and Madariaga (MADV) have been also detected in the area. Besides Aedes aegypti, most culicids have been poorly studied in Costa Rica. We did a year long study to describe the mosquito populations in an endemic area of Costa Rica. | |

Ostional es un distrito costero situado en el noroeste de Costa Rica (Figura 1) donde las estaciones húmeda y seca están claramente marcadas y con un paisaje constituido principalmente por bosque tropical seco y ranchos ganaderos. Recientemente se han producido brotes humanos y equinos de varios arbovirus en Ostional y sus alrededores. En los dos últimos años se han notificado casos de dengue, zika y chikungunya. También se han detectado en la zona arbovirus zoonóticos como el Virus del Nilo Occidental (VNO), el Virus de la Encefalitis Equina Venezolana (VEEV) y el Madariaga (MADV). Además de Aedes aegypti, la mayoría de los culícidos han sido poco estudiados en Costa Rica. Realizamos un estudio de un año de duración para describir las poblaciones de mosquitos en una zona endémica de Costa Rica. | |
