چکیده
b a ckground: a field study on diversity and distribution of anophelines currently present in a past endemic malaria area of spain was carried out in order to identify possible risk areas of local disease transmission. m e t hods: multiple larval sites were sampled from june to october of 2011 in the region of somontano de barbastro (northeastern spain). the sampling effort was fixed at 10 minutes which included the active search for larvae in each biotope visited. results: a total of 237 larval specimens belonging to four anopheles species ( anopheles atroparvus, an. claviger, an. maculipennis and an. petragnani ) were collected and identified. conclusions: malaria receptivity in the study area is high, especially in the area of cinca river valley, due to the abundance of breeding sites of an. atroparvus very close to human settlements. although current socio-economic conditions in spain reduce possibilities of re-emergence of malaria transmission, it is evident that certain entomo- logical and epidemiological vigilance must be maintained and even increased in the context of current processes of climate change and globalization.
