LEVANTAMENTO DE INSETOS COM ARMADILHAS LUMINOSAS E ADESIVAS EM AMBIENTES COMERCIAIS DE CURITIBA E REGIÃO METROPOLITANA, PARANÁ Translated title: SURVEY OF THE INSECTS WITH LIGHT AND STICKY TRAPS IN COMPANIES OF CURITIBA AND THE METROPOLITAN REGION, PARANÁ STATE, BRAZIL

Abstract

RESUMO O estudo buscou o conhecimento da fauna de insetos sinantrópicos associada a diferentes ambientes comerciais em Curitiba e São José dos Pinhais, Paraná. As coletas foram realizadas durante um ano, em empresas prestadoras de serviços, por meio de armadilhas adesivas e com luz ultravioleta. Foram coletados 1.644 insetos, sendo a indústria de alimentos o local com o maior percentual. Diptera foi a ordem mais abundante (42,9%), seguida de Hymenoptera (21,5%) e Blattaria (13,7%). A densidade de insetos demonstra que a vigilância sanitária dos locais estudados deve ser intensificada, pois esses insetos são importantes veiculadores de patógenos.

ABSTRACT The present paper sought a better understanding of the fauna of synantropic insects associated with different urban environments of Curitiba and São José dos Pinhais, Paraná, Brazil. The samplings were made during one year, using light traps with ultraviolet light and sticky traps, in companies. A total of 1,644 insects were collected, the food company being the place with the higher percentage of insects. Diptera was the most abundant order (42.9%), followed by Hymenoptera (21.5%) and Blattaria (13.7%). The density of insects reveals that it is important to intensify the sanitary vigilance in the studied locations as these insects act as mechanical transmitters of pathogenic organisms.
