ABSTRACT

Introduction. Species of the genus Haemagogus are the vectors of the sylvatic Yellow Fever (YF) and Mayaro arboviruses. However, there are few studies of the patterns of distribution and the origin of the biota, and also their relationship with the YFV transmission and dispersion.
Objective. Estimate the potential distribution of fourteen species of the Haemagogus genus by mean of ecological niche model methodology and establish their relationship with the arboviruses transmission.
Materials and Methods. A 354 database records was geo-referenced from Museums data and literature records. The potential distribution was modeled for fourteen species with the Maximum Entropy algorithm and using 20 environmental and topographical variables.
Results. Ecoregions, precipitation and temperature allowed predicting the species distribution, while elevation does not seem to influence the model. Some species showed potential distributions in Central America: Haemagogus argyromeris, Hg. clarki, Hg. chalcospilans, Hg. iridicolor and Hg. lucifer. In others species the areas were extended from north of South America toward Mexico: Hg. mesodentatus and Hg. equinus; while others were restricted to north of South America: Hg. celeste and Hg. albomaculatus, or restricted to Ecuador: Hg. soperi. Finally, Hg. spegazzinii, Hg. capricornii and Hg. janthinomys were the species with wide potential distribution.
Conclusions. Based on 20 environmental and topographical variables, the three variables reported (ecorregions, precipitation and temperature) were important to predict the potential distribution of the vectors. The overlapping between the species potential geographical distribution and the YF genotype distribution, suggest that the transmission of YF genotype I could be associate with Hg. celeste and Hg. equinus in the north of South America, Hg. capricornii in the south and Hg. leucocelaenus in south of Brazil, including a part of Bolivia where this species have no records. Then, the genotype II can be linked with Hg. soperi, Hg. janthinomys to the north of South America and Hg. spegazzinii toward the south.
