In: Folia Entomologica MexicanaSummary: Se relacionaron las actividades, condiciones de vida, y trabajo de los hombres con la actividad antropofila de vectores de enfermedades. Se seleccionaron sitios representativos de area habitacional, cafetal, maiz- frijol, y selva poco alterada, en 4 comunidades del Soconusco (Mexico) donde actualmente se considera que Simulium ochraceum, S. metallicum, y S. callidum transmiten la oncocercosis, para realizar capturas diarias durante 7 dias de nov. de 1982, enero, marzo, y mayo de 1983. En el espacio maiz-frijol se encontraron mayores densidades de S. ochraceum que en los espacios de cafe. Se discuten los resultados con S. ochraceum y se explica como la concn. humana en centros de poblacion y en sitios como maiz- frijol, aunada a los estimulos y condiciones en que se da la busqueda de alimento de los simulidos zoofilos o antropofilos, son un factor preponderante para la obtencion de mayores densidades de picadura de esta especie. (RA (extracto))Summary: The relationships between human activities, life styles, and work sites and the anthropophilic activity of insect disease vectors were studied. The study sites selected represented areas with houses, coffee plantations, corn and/or bean fields, and tropical forest in 4 communities of the Soconusco region (Mexico) in which active transmission of Onchocerca volvulus occurs. In all sites, daily captures of S. ochraceum, S. metallicum, and S. callidum were made for 7 days during Nov. 1982, Jan., March, and May 1983. In corn or bean fields, the densities of S. ochraceum were consistently greater than those for the coffee plantations. The results attempt to show that the most important factor involved in an increse in the no. of bites is the concn. of people in village and in work-related sites, together with the conditions and stimuli associated in host-seeking behavior of zoophilic or anthropophilic blackflies.
